Daughter of the Fallen (May Krieg Book 1) Kindle Edition

Most sixteen-year olds aren't worried about the fate of their immortal souls. May Krieg should be.

Typically, honors student May's biggest problems have revolved around her super-hot arch-rival, Jack. But when a school project takes them ghost-hunting in a local cemetery, she discovers that an ominous force roams in the darkness around her.

And it follows her home.

It claws its way into her life, burning messages into her wall and imprinting them onto her body. Even worse, she can't tell if it's trying to possess her... or protect her.

May's thoughts soon become actions, causing the target of her anger severe physical pain and giving her a rush the likes of which she has never experienced. She quickly realizes that she needs to find a way to reign in this power before she kills someone. May hates the pleasure it gives her, hates herself for hurting others, but she can't stop.

As her entire world shatters around her, she is forced to ask what her soul is worth-- and who would she risk losing her soul to save?

For readers who enjoy: teen paranormal romance, teen horror, teen romance, nephilim, demons, YA, YA horror, YA paranormal, YA romance, ghost stories.

Review


Daughter of the Fallen by Madeline Wynn is an incredible and fantastic story about a teenage girl. She doesn't want to follow along with everyone else in their adoration of Jack, the popular rich kid. Starting The Daughter of the Fallen off, you are introduced to May at a graveyard doing a video report with her boyfriend Cay, the rich boy Jack, and a girl named Alicia. During their video, May falls down a mine shaft and sees something, something that leaves the mine shaft with her. Then she finds out that the demon from the mine shaft wasn't released when she fell in; it has been with her all of her life. Now it is up to May to do all that she can to keep from falling into the darkness that threatens to consume her.

Daughter of the Fallen is a well written tale that captures not only your mind, but your heart as well. Madeline Wynn has created a wonderful book and I would expect the rest of the series to be just as fascinating. As Daughter of the Fallen progresses, more twists and turns are thrown in. Full of hope, despair, and romance, everything that makes a good book is all packed into this 200+ page book. Read and watch as you are transported to a wonderful place you will never want to leave. How much better could it get? Read the stunning first book in the series, Daughter of the Fallen by Madeline Wynn, to find out. May is waiting for you. - Readers' Favorite Review- Five Stars

Daughter of the Fallen by Madeline Wynn is a sensuous romp through the passion, frustration, and angst of young love. But there where Author Wynn begins! She capably adds the terror of the unexpected and complete unknown while seamlessly weaving in some fascinating ancient legends to stir the plot! Heroine Mason (May) Krieg goes on a ghost hunt with her boyfriend and discovers far more than she bargains for when she attracts the attention of a terrifying demon (no spoiler alert... we get this early in the novel!) May fights the terror and temptation this dark and sinister creature offers while still burdened with all the standard trappings of being a lovely if somewhat geeky 16 year-old. Jealousy, desire, terror, and loyalty are all expertly distributed in generous helpings as this fast-paced story heads toward its frightening climax. I'll not give away any of the intricately plotted novel but will add that Ms. Wynn is a true craftsman. Her pacing, vivid descriptions of both scenes and May's conflicting emotional turmoil and her deep, well thought out characterizations are nothing short of spectacular. This is a very readable, truly well-crafted YA romantic thriller. And... it is only the first novel in a series. Cannot wait for Son of Starlight! Read it today!!

3.0 out of 5 stars Fun and adventurous
Reviewed in the United States on February 19, 2015
This story kicked off with a bang, jumping right into an ancient local legend, which is just how I like it: action, adventure and mystery, all rolled into one in the first chapter. I knew right away that I was going to enjoy this book, and I'm glad I was right. Sometimes it's fun delving into a book without first reading the blurb. I certainly had no idea what I was in for, and I was definitely surprised when all was revealed.

Daughter of the Fallen is a story about self discovery and the lengths a person would go in order to save loved ones. May is a kick-ass character full of spunk and vigor. A trip to a cemetery with her friends for a school project thrusts her into a world of danger and deceit. What May encounters turns out to be much more than just a legend. It's a doorway into her history.

I enjoyed most of the book and while there were some good twists, I found there were times when I wanted to put the book down and that was purely because the story had a way of switching from something unexpected and original to something predictable and irrelevant. There was an awful lot of time spent on May wondering about her feelings for Jack when there were far more pressing matters to address. The romance was good. The connection these scenes had to the rest of the story was weak and that put me off. At one point I'm deep into the story and the next I'm contemplating skimming through the pages. I understand the need to fill space but when it makes me disconnect from the story, it becomes less enjoyable.

One thing that grated on my nerves for the first half of the story was Cay's diction. It annoyed the hell out of me - like, seriously! I was hoping for more character development where characters like Sid and Jack were concerned for I found them to be interesting but lacking depth. Hopefully, we'll get to see more character development in book two as these secondary characters play a great role not only in May's life but also in the development of the plot.

Overall, this story has great potential. It's a good start to the series, which I look forward to continuing. I would definitely recommend the book to anyone who is up for a thrilling adventure.

Wow! Super fun and hot read. The book is well-written, and it is a whirlwind ride from start to finish. May is a great character. Her struggle with the power inside of her is engaging and frightening. Wynn does a fantastic and believable job in guiding her journey. The writing is heart-pounding good. I can't wait for book 2.

4.0 out of 5 stars Neither one seemed too concerned with May's safety and they just didn't seem to act like true friends to me

Review was originally posted at: http://pinkfluffyhearts.blogspot.com/2014/11/review-daughter-of-fallen.html

I went into reading "Daughter of the Fallen" by Madeline Wynn thinking one thing and came out of it thinking something completely different. What initially interested me in this book was the description and paranormal aspect that it held. However, while I was reading the book, the paranormal parts weren't as enjoyable to me as the other "normal" parts of the main character's life.

"Daughter of the Fallen" centers around the character May, and when we first meet her she's hunting ghosts with her friends for a school project. What could go wrong, right? Wynn starts the action and gives us the paranormal right away with this scene, because May (literally) stumbles upon something that's more than she bargained for when she went out on the hunt, and it starts to take a toll on her daily life. It's not long before she's having nightmares and seeing shadows out of the corner of her eye.

Even though the action seems to start right away, it took me awhile before I could fully get into "Daughter of the Fallen". I think a big part of that was at the beginning of the story, May is mostly with her two friends Cay and Nicole in all the scenes, and I didn't really care for those characters. Neither one seemed too concerned with May's safety and they just didn't seem to act like true friends to me. May was going through something really difficult and was scared, but neither one of her friends tried very hard to comfort her or be there for her.

Once the story shifted away from Cay and Nicole a bit, I found myself enjoying it a lot more. May has a lot of interaction with a boy named Jack, who had always been her rival in classes and May never really thought too much about him. However, things are changing on that front as the two of them grow closer over the time of the story, and I loved it. I was a huge fan of how Jack and May's relationship grew and I found myself looking forward to reading more and more of their scenes. Jack was actually there for May and was looking out for her when her two best friends weren't doing the job.

I mentioned that the paranormal aspects didn't hold center stage for me, and that's solely because of how much I enjoyed May and Jack's interactions. I'm a sucker for high school drama, so everything that went on between the two of them was right up my alley. That's not to say that the paranormal traits were lacking in the story, though. They were there and well planned out to further things along, my personal taste just steered more towards the high school relationships that were developing.
Even though it was a slow start for me, I did enjoy my reading of "Daughter of the Fallen". The high school drama was on point, and the paranormal factor was interesting and made me want more. Wynn left the story on a cliff hanger, and I for one am waiting for the next book to see what happens next.
