Six weeks after her arrival on the Surface, Evelyn Winters is no closer to unlocking the memories lost in her subconscious than she was when she first came. Isolated in a strange new society, Evie has only Gavin Hunter to remind her of who she once was.
But even with a clean slate, it’s easy to see that Evie doesn’t fit in on the Surface. And as her differences make her feel more and more alone, she can’t help but yearn for that place she doesn’t remember: the isolated city hidden in the depths of the ocean. Elysium. Home.
But she can’t exactly tell Gavin what she’s feeling. Not when he’s the one who helped her escape Elysium in the first place, and has the scars to prove it. Though the doctors say otherwise, Gavin believes that Evie just needs time. And if her memories don’t come back, well, maybe she’s better off not remembering her past.
But the decision may be out of their hands when Evie’s ever-elusive memories begin to collide with reality. People and images from her past appear in the most unlikely places, haunting her, provoking her…and making her seem not only strange but dangerous.
Evie and Gavin can’t wait around for her memories to return. They’ll have to journey across the Outlands of the Surface to find help, and in the end, their search may just lead them back to the place it all started…
This book was every bit a page turner. Crafted in a very twisted and terrifying way, the story will easily hooked its reader on everything the "Surface" has to offer. A bird that can lift a deer and Nanobombs, dispersing nanobots-- so small that they're invinsible to the human eye-- that when breathed by humans, the body calcifies at an accelerated rate virtually turning humans into stone statues. Those are some of the things the readers will look forward to when reading this book.
In here, we are introduced to a new character–Asher. I kind of like him since the start of the book, I just have this feeling that he won't be some kind of protagonist in the end. At first, I thought there might be a love triangle brewing with the 3 characters. But REST ASSURED. There’s no love triangle here–instead we get a brother like figure who would do anything for Evie–like a brother would do for her younger sister.
Revelations totally lived up to its title. With all the revelations of Evie's true identity and how Elysium started. You will be screaming to have the third installment of this series. Not to mention the cliffhanger ending.

VICTORY IS FLEETING, BUT DEFEAT IS ETERNAL.
The war between Heaven and Hell rages on Aaron, half angel and half human, commands the Fallen in their quest to protect humanity. But evil forces gain strength at every turn. And lurking somewhere in the shadows is Archangel Gabriel's instrument with the power to call down the End of Days...
Aaron draws confidence from the girl he loves as he struggles to make peace with his legacy as Lucifer's son. These are desperate times, and Aaron knows the Fallen will need to forge new, unlikely alliances to survive.
With the fate of the world hanging in the balance, Aaron will stop at nothing to defend civilization—and the girl who holds his heart. Even if it means facing Hell's darkest demons.
I believe I have a short attention spun but it looks like I've also developed a selective amnesia. I was able to finish both books before this volume. The characters are still fresh in my mind but the things regarding some of the scenes, I'm afraid I already loose them in my mind. Hahahhaa. With all the books I've read it realy happens that I was really havuing difficulty remembering what the story is all about. Anyway, I was really suprised to find out that there was 3rd sequel for this series. I really thought the FALLEN 2: AERIE AND RECKONING was the last to be released. But I think I was wrong.
Aaron after his encounter with Verchiel, she thought that he was able to send all the 'POWERS' back to the kingdom of Heaven for their salvation. But He was wrong. The last of the POWERS emerged attempting the End the world of humans, nephilims and every kind along with it.
The book is totally good, like the previous Volumes. I enjoyed reading it as well every pace is packed with action. Nephilims Vs. the Angels of God (blinded by there likeness to irradicate all the Nephilims on Earth). For me the story is very unique. Although lots of novels now pertains to Fallen Angels and Nephilims, this book proves to be alot more Epic Faixciting at every pace and chapter.
Thomas was able to deliver the story in a very magical way. Every characters are being described and was given the attention to be recognized as part of the story.
What really struck me most in this book is the part wherein Lucifer faced the Devil. (Yeah right! Lucifer and Devil the same right? But just read it.. ) He was able to kill it, BUT. His body was being claimed by somebody else. And thats it! The story end which will keep you hanging until the release of the next book.. OMG cant wait for the next sequel!
