Fallen Five by author Erica Spindler does not disappoint the fans of the Lightkeeper serries! If you are not familiar with the Lightkeepers, you may want to start with the first one, The Final Seven. The subject matter is the paranormal within the present day. This is a series about the remnants of beings which were to help humankind through the ages. When some of the Lightkeepers married a human, which was forbidden, then chaos and the battles between goodness and evil becomes more complex.
Micki Dee Dare, the main character, is a New Orleans police detective, Her assigned partner Zach Harris is a member of secret FBI team called the Sixers. These team members have been identified to have psychic gifts or various sensory abilities and they have been trained to work with law enforcement.
I won’t post spoilers, although I want to…but Fallen Five is written so well. Some scenes are very intense for Micki and I could not put the book down once I got started. when you enjoy a series and you like the characters, you connect with their experiences and frankly, I got worried for Micki!
Micki investigates the suicide of Sarah Stevens. Her sister insists that Sarah had to have been coerced to do such an act. A few days later Micki investigates another apparent suicide by a wealthy real estate developer, Thomas King. Was it intentional, or did something cause him to fall and plunge down to his death in front of a host of people attending the opening of 2 River Tower and Hotel?
Later when Micki is considering the evidence and the interviews with his daughters, she thinks of similarities to a prior case. After Micki thinks she glimpses her beloved friend and mentor Hank, there are new questions and new worries. These cases have something eerily associated with The Three Queens case.
Oh No! Now you just have to read..!
And Angel…Oh, my! Angel a human, with a hybrid of light and dark, has a secret. Where is Seth?
I like this series because it reminds me of how this very thing happened in Biblical times. We now in the present day have people with unexplainable psychic abilities they have inherited through genetics from an age-old mystery race.
Fallen Five is book 3 in The Lightkeepers series. Fallen Five was even better better than books one and two. Erica Spindler has a way of grabbing you in the first chapter and doesn’t let go til the last word, yet you are still wanting for more! Micki “Mad Dog” Dare is a Decorated New Orleans Detective who partners up with FBI Special Agent Zach “Hollywood” , who is a member of The Sixers. A special, secret Paranormal unit of the FBI. Together, Micki and Zach have a close rate of close to 100. Fallen Five can be read as a stand alone book, but these books were written in a series and you get so much more backstory if you read them in order. Congrats to Erica Spindler on knocking it out of the park again, can’t wait for book 4!! I was given an ARC for my honest review of this book.
