The Fallen: Genesis - Review
(A Deadly Virtues Prequel)
(A Deadly Virtues Prequel)
IN THE BEGINNING…
They told them they were evil.
They told them they were possessed by demons.
They told them that darkness ran in their veins.
Holy Innocents Home for Children is a haven for orphaned boys who have nothing and no one. The priests watch over them, educate them, raise them in the family of the church.
Except for some.
Seven of the orphans are no ordinary boys. They attract the attention of the priests for their acts of violence, of bloodlust. The priests realize these boys are drawn to the darkness.
And the priests are no ordinary priests. They are the Brethren, a secret sect who believe themselves on a divine mission to seek out evil in the boys in their care. Seek it out, and then drive it out.
The seven have fallen from God’s grace. And the Brethren will cleanse their blackened souls…
Dark Contemporary Romance novella. Contains sexual situations, violence, sensitive and taboo subjects, offensive language and topics some may find triggering. Recommended for age 18 years and up.
The Fallen: Genesis is the prequel in Tillie Cole’s new series called the Deadly Virtues, and all I can say is OMFG! I love the Hades Hangmen series, and I was so dang excited to start this new one. I knew it was going to be a bit darker than the Hangmen, but wow! It was incredibly dark, raw, and gritty, and I went through so many emotions while reading.
It started off with brothers Joseph and James sharing a room at the Holy Innocents Home for Children, which is an orphanage run by the Catholic Church located in Boston, Ma. Joseph is the older brother, and he feels a strong need to help and protect his younger brother. After an eye-opening scene, I was gripping my Kindle tightly, and I could not stop reading. I became mesmerized by the characters and the storyline. I found that I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough, yet I wanted to savor every word.
I am counting the days until Raphael, the first book in the series is released! A definite add to your TBR list!
