Betül's Reviews > The Fallen: Genesis

**ARC provided in exchange for an honest review**



"Seven, one for each of the Fallen and the mortal sins Gabriel knew they would one day commit. Seven for the deadly sins, and seven for the heavenly virtues that would aid in his redemption."

The Fallen: Genesis is a prequel novella in The Deadly Virtues Series. What a way to start and introduce the readers to a new dark series. I am really happy Tillie Cole decided to write a prequel novella instead of adding this part in the beginning of the book or either in flashbacks. I love getting the background information from the get-go, because it really sets the mood and gets you excited to get your hands on the first book. I am absolutely intrigued and horrified with the characters in this book. They are not innocent and all have internal demons. They will become anti-heroes and I have to say that the actual bad guys (the Brethren) are actually evil. This book is dark and the things that have been done to the seven of the orphans is utterly despicable and evil. I know that they aren't normal, but that doesn't mean that they should've been treated the way they did.

I enjoyed getting to know how the brotherhood came to be. Also I look forward to getting to know each of the Fallen better in the coming book(s). I am expecting a lot of crazy and dark things to happen, and I am definitely ready for it. I think fans of (Tillie Cole's) dark romance will love this series. I really hope you at least give this novella a try, just to see if it intrigues you to continue the series. I am ready to fall in love with a new set of Tillie Cole's anti-heroes.
