About this audiobook
#1 New York Times bestselling author J.R. Ward explores what really happens when good and evil toy with humanity in her new novel of the Fallen Angels, as the salvation of a doomed soul depends once again on a crossroads...
When Cait Douglass resolves to get over her broken heart, throw off her inhibitions, and start really living, she's unprepared for the two sensual men who cross her path. Torn between them, she doesn't know which to choose--or what kind of dire consequences could follow.
Jim Heron, fallen angel and reluctant savior, is ahead in the war, but he puts everything at risk when he seeks to make a deal with the devil--literally. As yet another soul is unwittingly caught in the battle between him and the demon Devina, his fixation on an innocent trapped in Hell threatens to sidetrack him from his sacred duty...
Can good still prevail if true love makes a savior weak? And will a woman's future be the key, or the curse, for all of humanity? Only time, and hearts, will tell.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I love her story telling and this was an interesting mystery. I think her dialog between characters is often strange and the reactions of characters during conversations is often strange. I often wondered, why is he mad or angry about that? Also sometimes when she is describing the grey it is difficult to form a mental picture of what she's describing. That being said, I really enjoy this series.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Not my favorite in the series, but a solid addition. Honestly, ever since Seawitch, I've been hoping to see more books with Blaine and Solis working together. Sometimes I feel like there are too many plot elements crammed in for a book of this length, but they're still a lot of fun.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I enjoyed getting back to Harper Blaine, though this seemed to start out a bit slower than previous stories. It felt like Richardson was explaining a lot, but this simply could be that I've read all the previous books, and there's information a new reader would need. Still wish it was spread out a bit more. Harper is a bit more connected to the case she becomes invovled in, in that she becomes part of the case. Not quite a victim, but she suffers a bit more than usual. Well, she does tend to suffer in various ways for her clients, so perhaps this is usual. But she's more scared than usual, it seems. Like she has less control, more at stake. And she's more aware of that fear, and other emotions, than in previous stories. Like she's learned not to shut out the whole world. But I have a new character to hate: James Purlis. Ugh. Keep away from Quinton and Harper! He seems just the right balance of calculating, cold, resentful, and knowledgable to cause them a great deal of trouble. And it looks like he'll be causing plenty more in the future. A wonderful mix of ghosts and government spooks, the next story is already set up and promises to be quite the doozy. Lots of trouble headed Harper and Quinton's way. Perhaps this one was a quieter, more moderately paced story because the next will not be? A ghost story through and through, with all the creepiness you'd expect, just a little calmer pace than I'd come to expect from Richardson.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Drawn into a case concerning ghosts and Persistent Vegetative States, Harper Blaine realizes that she is in a race against time as her client's sister fails. Malevolent spirits threaten both the Normal and the Grey, and only the Greywalker can stop them.This book provides a showcase for Harper and her growth since she died for two minutes and returned from the other side a Greywalker. The aloof PI has found true friend and allies - and she's come to realize she enjoys that fact. They provide unlooked-for help in this frustrating case that has its roots in Seattle's past - and her own present.A truly engrossing and fascinating read, this book is the best yet in this fantastic series.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This was the 8th book in the Greywalker series and I enjoyed it more than the last book. It was an interesting read and I enjoyed watching the mystery unravel. I also enjoyed how all of the loose ends came together in the end.I listened to this on audiobook and the audiobooks for this series have always been really well done. The narrator is exactly how I picture Harper Blaine would sound. The narrator does an excellent job doing all the character voices and capturing character emotion. I really enjoy listening to this series on audiobook even more than reading it!Harper Blaine is drawn into a disturbing case when a woman comes to her complaining that her sister has been possessed. The woman’s sister was in a persistent vegetative state (PVS) until one day the sister just sat up and started painting. The woman thinks her sister is possessed, but as Harper starts looking into the case she finds other PVS patients doing similar things and she realizes that this is part of a much bigger issue.This was an excellent continuation of this ghostly investigative urban fantasy series. Richardson’s style is very unique and I could understand how it wouldn’t appeal to everyone but I really enjoy it. Richardson writes in a very detailed way, she describes the actions of her characters very precisely and gives very detailed descriptions. I enjoy it.I also enjoy how Richardson kind of has a theme or area that she focuses on and does research on for each book. This book focuses on a few different things. The first is persistent vegetative states, the second is possession, and the third is some of the rather disturbing history of a certain serial killer from Seattle’s history.Harper doesn’t really grow or change much as a character in this book. Her and Quentin are still having problems with Quentin’s father that ends up tying into the storyline in a big way. As a result their relationship does see some stress. They still make a great couple, but I wish at times that Quentin would trust Harper a bit more. These two still have some growing to do in their relationship.Harper also doesn’t really gain any new powers as a Greywalker. She uses her ability to see and interact with the Grey quite a bit. She also uses her ability to travel through layers of time. All of this remains intriguing and is fun to read about.The plot is cleverly done. I love how all of the different pieces that Harper is dealing with kind of all come together neatly in the end. There are a couple of unresolved story points mostly dealing with activities that Quentin’s dad is involved in.Overall a very well done addition to this series. I enjoyed it alot. This was a very well done investigative urban fantasy. I still enjoy reading about Harper Blaine and her unique Greywalking skills. The plot is very well done and very intriguing. I continue to appreciate how Richardson does such thorough research on the historical aspects of her novels. Recommended to those who enjoy investigative urban fantasy.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I didn't know Ann Rule wrote fictional novels. So I was surprised to see that on the cover. I liked the book though. It was the kind of book I needed to read at this time. Engaging, fast-paced and easy to follow.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Serial rapist and murderer Duane Demich is surreptitiously stalking Joanne Lindstrom. He sees in her the woman who will become his slave and recall to life the mother he has lost and upon whom he is fixated. Joanne and husband Danny take a camping trip, inadvertently giving him the perfect chance to move in for the (both literal and figurative) kill. This novel does not have the gripping power that propels the reader into the real lives of her amazing true crime victims.
