Great story with lots of action and suspense. Watch as evil gets the upper hand over good. Could this be the end of mankind as we know it. Will Jessie remain Queen? What will happen to the order and my favorite characters (the author manages to kill just about every character I managed to enjoy). Will the Watchers and the chosen overcome. Can't wait for more. Keep the pedal to the metal and Brian may actually equal to Stephen King!

Jessie started this uprising and she plans on finishing it. Hopefully Frank and the 2 boys he's training can overpower the fallen. Also can't wait to see Roy battle for power too. Great book can't wait for next book in series.

4.0 out of 5 stars Angelic warfare for the future of humanity.
Reviewed in the United States on November 16, 2016
“And so the day will come when the spirits of the Fallen will rise again to retake the land of the living.”

Jesse, once a simple teenage girl from Louisiana, has been claimed by the demonic King of the Fallen (Angels) Nssu, who spins his web around her and in exchange for his ecstasy and strength she works to free his companion Fallen so he can rule over the world.

The Watchers are half-angelic beings, born as human and charged by their order with the task of keeping the Fallen locked away to protect humanity. They are people of faith like Father Brennan and people of none, like Frank, but all of whom have lost everything they care for in the fight, so it has become personal. The Watchers set their hopes on a chosen one, who prophecy says will defeat Nssu.

Then there is Roy and his Legion who believes he and not Nssu should be the one in control and goes around inflicting gory torture and death with indiscriminate glee on any he thinks might get him closer to that goal.

And Titus, the rebel Watcher, working with the government to bring down the Fallen by more conventional means - and eventually some very unconventional ones.

A superlative mix of occult baddies drawn from - or modelled on those from - Christian Apocrypha and Jewish Apocalyptic literature, with a touch of Ancient Mesopotamian for good measure. They come up against a rag-bag assortment of very human half-angels, to fight out an ancient battle of good against evil on earth.

'I am the Leech of Aeons, the Father of all Monsters, the KING of the Fallen, and I will show you my power!'

This is a bit more than the standard urban fantasy of fallen angels and half-angelic humans, it reminds me of Storm Constantine's Grigori books in the scope of the world scene-setting and the way the story tracks back into the distant past and looks at the modern consequences. I really liked that. I also liked that even though I had not read the first book in the series (though I have read the short prequel novella) the story did not seem to lose anything. If you are picking this up as your first taste of the series you will find your way just fine.

The book is well written with a smooth flow of language and nothing to make you stop and re-read because it made no sense first time. I like that in a book, it means I can enjoy the ride wherever it might be going, effortlessly. The pace is perfect. We have action and quieter moments which balance well, but with the emphasis on the action. The battles are epic in scale and scope and described in a viscerally gripping way. There are flashbacks, which mostly keep neatly within bounds of informing without dragging too much. The finish is just about perfect - being both a cliff-hanger and yet satisfying the sense of there being an ending.

The characters are well fleshed out, but all are very damaged individuals, which cast a pall of near despair over the plot at times as they struggle to muster any hope between them. They are real people you care about, but would not invite to a party as they would be the one in the corner looking miserable when everyone else was dancing the conga. Dialogue is very well written in general, fluent and convincing, but just occasionally touches into cheesy 'hard man' speak.

The occult horror is well done. I liked the clever use of referencing real texts mixed in with the mythical Book of Razmus. It is a great way of building credibility from the readers knowledge into the fictional setting of the story.

I am no fan of gore and the amount here well-exceeded my tolerance in places, especially when Roy gets playful and creative. So anyone who is a fan will find a lot of it to enjoy. The scenes of Jesse and her King are sometimes almost poignant in their horror, the mutual need and yet revulsion, covered by a dominating false-love is very cleverly portrayed.

'Whatever he was, whatever the Fallen were, he had trouble believing there was some kind of good, all-knowing God behind it all.'

There are a couple of issues which grated for me. There are a number of internal inconsistencies I noticed which did not help the flow, Kuriel thinking the physical union of humans to reproduce is somehow unique in a world he has been studying for centuries and is populated by mammals, for example.

The idea of good and evil is simply too blurred. The 'good guys' are not good people, they are just those killing the monsters. The setting is a Christian world view and the back story 'glimpses' of Kuriel and Uriel speak of the creation of the earth in terms clearly belonging to the Abrahamic religious traditions. But God is presented as an utter tyrant - meaning those who choose 'good' seem to be merely picking one dictator over another. OK, I'd back the tyrant who does not have horrible monsters killing and eating people, over the one that does - but it is still more like a 'zombie apocalypse survival' mode of morality, than any sense of a greater good coming from it. That does not really work so well with the obvious religious over-theme.

Also the treatment of Jack by the Watchers struck me as being extremely cavalier, in that the Watchers have a large organisation and have had millennia of experience in dealing with the young, vulnerable and needy half-angels as they develop. But they still seemed to have no idea what to do to help this child come to terms with his position, leaving it to the most damaged adult around to attempt the task.

But overall I enjoyed the book. This is a racy, pacy and utterly gripping occult horror, which people who enjoy religious themed, dark fantasy will want to snap up.

5.0 out of 5 stars Second Death gathers their forces on Earth and prepare to take over our realm.
Reviewed in the United States on October 4, 2018
Queen of the Fallen is the exciting follow up to Watchers of the Fallen by Brian Rella. The action ratchets up in this book as Fallen of the Second Death gather their forces on Earth and prepare to take over our realm. The plot branches and becomes more complicated as we launch into the heart-stopping sequel.

Frank is home in NYC to heal and regroup after losing Tarek in Chicago. He needs to regain his strength then figure out where Jesse has gone. Father Brennan will be the best help with that.

Jessie made it to the desert of Arizona, but needs time to regain her strength as well. For now she sleeps in the arms of her King. When she wakes she will be strong again. Then, with the help of Arraziel and Pasamet, the two soldiers of her King from the realm of the Second Death, that Jessie has already freed, they will seek out others that have been imprisoned here on Earth and set them free. Her King needs an army!

In New York City another evil has risen. Legion is growing. Roy is Legion's current master, having killed the last, and he has big plans. He doesn't like competition. Once he has had his fill here, he thinks he will eat this so called King!

Father Brennan has plans for Frank. There is a prophecy of The One who will defeat the evil rising from the Second Death. Father Brennen has found the boy, The One, and Frank needs to train him! However the child of this prophecy is just that, and far from convinced of his destiny.

What does Frank know about training anyone? He can barely take care of himself! He is a fighter, and a drunk, not anyone's teacher. Now Frank is supposed to teach a reluctant boy to save the world? What if he fails?

4.0 out of 5 stars Good vs evil battle it out in a war of biblical proportions
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 24, 2016

Queen of the Fallen is the second book of Brian Rella's 'Second Death' series and sees him take the original premise of the prequel and inaugural tale to the next level. This is a book that can be read as a standalone, but will be easier to get into if you have read the previous ones. The characters follow their arcs in directions that in some cases are unexpected. This serves to keep things from getting stale and together with the plot development keeps you glued to the story. Here's where Rella's strengths come to the fore. The plot weaves together elements of ancient history, theology and legend in a convincing backdrop. The result is a thrill-laden good versus evil story that avoids the predictable, and pits flawed protagonists against occasionally sympathetic villains. If you've not read the first books, after finishing this one you'll be downloading them to quench your thirst for the characters and worlds this author has created.
