Friday Feature: Haunting Me by Jody Kessler






About the Book:
Angel of Death, Nathaniel Evans’, newest case sends him on a perilous and magical journey to the Irish countryside in search of one unattainable answer: How does an Angel of Death fall from grace and return to life?

Back in Colorado, Juliana’s mishaps with a book of spells and her well-meaning attempts to save her brother’s life could cost her more than a ghostly haunting and a deadly virus. It could cost her everything she loves - her family, her home and her relationship with Nathaniel.

While on the hunt for answers, Nathaniel finds himself imprisoned with fairies and fighting a battle of strength, skill, wit and sorcery to win his freedom back from a ruthless fallen angel. Nathaniel must survive the duel if he wants to change his destiny and fulfill his desire for mortality and a chance to be with Juliana forever.

MY TAKE:
This is the third book in Ms. Kessler's An Angel Falls series, continuing Nathaniel and Juliana's forbidden romance. Forbidden because he's an angel of death and she's a human. The author writes with such heart and feeling that the characters seem real as they struggle both with their emotions and the obstacles they face.If you haven't read the previous books in the series, go download them now. Seriously.

Nathaniel Evans first fell in love with Juliana Crowson when he thought she was his assignment, but it turned out it was her younger, charismatic brother Jared actually slated to die. Through various heart stopping twists throughout the series, Jared is still alive and Nathaniel is hopelessly in love with Juliana-- so much so that he's willing to give up his existence as an angel to return to the mortal plane and be with her. It's apparently been done before. He just needs to figure out how.

Nathaniel's journey in this book is to seek out that fallen angel and figure out if it would be possible for him to accomplish the same feat. Juliana's journey is to keep her brother alive for a while longer without losing her soul, even though Jared knows he's living on borrowed time.

This well-written, well-plotted book is the third in the series, and I definitely recommend reading the books in order. Like the first books, the story is told in alternating first person POV, from Juliana's and Nathaniel's perspectives. It works well in this book particularly since the pair are apart more than they are together so it's less of a he said/she said and more of a parallel journeys book. 

The descriptions are beautiful, from the majestic Colorado mountains to the sweeping Irish seaside; the author lets you see, hear and savor the surroundings. The author also gives us a few new supporting characters that are superbly crafted and add life and intrigue to the storyline. The best part? This isn’t the end of the series. Although there is a satisfying conclusion to this novel, the arc of Juliana and Nathaniel’s love story isn’t over. And I can’t wait for more!
