The Seven Archangels #2
Darkwalker
For years, Seamus Bran has been a hermit in a small English town. But when two seers arrive from America seeking the cup of salvation his family has hidden for over two centuries, Seamus must decide whether to protect his blood line or save a woman he's never met.
Adrienne Perdu is a wealthy orphan living in Paris. She has no idea the weekly meetings she attends are a group of Darkwalkers, pulling humanity in the selfless dredges of soullessness. But Seamus changes everything with a kiss. The illusion of her life is shattered when her eyes are opened to the world as it really is, with angels and demons walking among us.
At Mont Saint-Michel, a rocky inlet in Normandy, France the demons attack trying to gain possession of the Cup of Salvation. As Adrienne and Seamus grow closer, the danger of the ancient war between good and evil crescendos to envelop angels, demons, and seers alike. Will Seamus be able to save the woman he now loves and his family's prize possession?

I didn't think it would be possible but I enjoyed this book more than the first. Calise takes a back seat in this one but we meet more amazing characters and go on a very exciting adventure. Lucas proves he'll do anything for his soulmate. A new couple, Seamus and Adrienne, have a major test to face from the moment they meet. Two characters from the first book realize what's always been in their hearts. There are totally unexpected twists and turns everywhere. I couldn't stop reading until the end. I'll definitely be reading these again.

This is the second story in this series, where the characters and conflict are more fully introduced in the first book. If you haven't read The Seer's Lover yet, I would recommend starting there before jumping into this second story.
Also, you need to enjoy personified angels versus demons end-of-days stories to really get into this series, where the angels sometimes act petulant and less than heavenly, the dialogue is uber-contemporary (except for when it's not) and the demons can sometimes redeem themselves back into God's grace.
While the love story between Lucas and Calise is central to the first book,this book gives us dueling love stories: the first between Ellen (Calise's angel best friend) and Shane (Calise's fallen angel college beau) and the second between new characters we meet in Paris. Ellen has always had a thing for Shane, and when they are forced to work together, things between them heat up.
Shane almost kills Calise, and Lucas goes on a quest for the holy grail ( as in, THE holy grail) that takes him to Europe where he meets Seamus and his guardian, the angel Gabriel, as well as a dark walker named Adrienne. Dark walkers are humans who have lost their way and are pursuing selfish, if not evil, lives. Seamus has sworn to be the end of his line...until he meets Adrienne and decides love might be worth it after all.
The chapters alternates between the U.S. and Europe, until the story lines finally converge at a monastery in Minnesota where the final showdown between good and evil forces (at least for this book) occurs.
While some of the dialogue and interactions drew me out of the narrative, I enjoyed reading this story and rooting for the good guys all the way through. The epilogue left things wide open as to where the story goes from here, as the author has made no secret that this is an end-of-days series and the horsemen of the apocalypse are on their way.
If you're a fan of the Supernatural series on television, you should check out Kat de Falla's take on angels and demons.

I've read a copy of this book I received free and am voluntarily reviewing it I was not compensated in any way. Wow I thought the first book was good and the second was just as great which often doesn't happen in series! You get to continue
I've read a copy of this book I received free and am voluntarily reviewing it I was not compensated in any way.triumph and trial ok a lot of trial, action and by golly a deeper understanding of faith. I loved the tie in of religious relics and the belief in God while never being beat over the head you still feel the conviction as well as the doubts that so many people have. This book has it all you get to really think,have a bit of unlikely romance and true soul mate kinds as well as the fun side of demons and angels! No doubt about I will be reading the next five books....there will be more right Kat or I'm going to be a sad bookworm!!!

I thoroughly enjoyed the first book in this series, [[ASIN:B00ILXE2NO The Seer's Lover (The Seven Archangels Series)]], and was interested to see where Kat de Falla would take the story next. Althought Calise takes a bit more of a backseat in this book, I enjoyed how the story revolved around new and old characters, adding to the complexity of the plot, and the overall world these books take place in.
I wouldn't describe myself as a devout anything (maybe chocolate eater), so I'm always weary of books with angel/demon/religious plots, because some can come across a little too preachy--not that there's anything wrong with that, just not MY thing. I didn't find this to be the case with Darkwalker at all. Kat de Falla handles the religious aspects very smoothly without coming across overpowering.
I love the old good vs evil trope, and this book has it in spades...but we learn that there are many layers inbetween these two polar concepts. An angel loves a demon, a lightwalker loves a darkwalker, and there's an archangel with some serious attitude problems. What could go wrong? Or right? The plot is complex and dynamic, the dialogue is smooth and unforced, and Kat de Falla takes you on an incredible journey filled with ancient artifacts, beautiful destinations, and relatable characters.
I highly recommend this book.

I have to admit I was nervous to start this book, I was worried that I wouldn't like it as much as the first one. That was not the case at all! This book got me hooked in the first few pages and I could not set it down! I stayed up all night because I had to find out what would happen to the characters I've become invested in! Our couple from the first book (Calise and Lucas) are here but aren't the only ones anymore. We have a new couple introduced (Adrienne and Seamus) that are just as great. There's also another couple that I was hoping would get together but you'll have to read to find out who that is! These charecrters go through so much and grow through the whole book. It was interesting to see both the ones we knew and the ones we are introduced to evolve and for the better. While this book is fictional it is still thought provoking which is always nice to have while reading but rarely done well. These characters grew so much through out the story and I hope to continue on with more in this series to see what other adventures our characters will go on. I would highly recommend this series.

** I received a free copy of this book as a gift in exchange for an honest review.**
'Darkwalker' was as good, if not better, than book one, 'The Seer's Lover'. The storyline was full of action, questionable moral actions and the ever present good vs evil. The characters were an array of personalities and loyalties. Some surprised me with their choices and chosen paths. Seamus seemed to evolve and adapt as a guardian and his hermit/recluse ways are pushed when he comes face to face with Adrienne. She kept me guessing for quite a bit as to how deep her loyalties and lack of faith went. Lucas and Dean are dead set on saving Calise at any cost. Ellen and Shane were such unlikely allies. The way the story played out kept me wanting more. I look forward to reading more of 'The 7 Archangels Series'. A good add to your tbr list.
