Before I started my blog, I hadn't read a single angel book. Flash forward two years, and I have read quite a few of angel books. Personally, I enjoy the angel books that are heavier on the romance and lighter (or free of) religious elements. If you are like me, then you will LOVE Mystery Falls. It is a love story through and through and the angel elements are surprising fresh and different. I really enjoyed Mystery Falls.

My favorite thing about Sam was how inquisitive she was. Plus, she was an awful liar, which I found really endearing for some reason. She always wanted to understand why. She didn't take things at face value, and when Shadow wasn't giving her the answers she wanted, she found out the answers on her own. A lot of people may think that she is stubborn, but I thought she was persistent and I absolutely loved her.

Shadow was probably the most interesting version of an angel that I have ever read. He is innately good and really cares about Sam, but he seemed edgier than your average angel, which I really loved. And I love him with Sam. The idea of them together, and I am trying to anticipate any and all roadblocks they may encounter because I am super intrigued to see what the next book is going to hold.

The story of Mystery Falls was deeper and more involved than I initially thought it would be. I loved some of the twists and turns Marilyn Phillips threw at us. The writing is great, the romance is the once in a lifetime, true love, soul mates stuff, and I just couldn't get enough of Mystery Falls. It didn't end as a cliffhanger either! But it did end making me really, really want to read the next book.
