The Fallen Queen (The House of Arkhangel'sk #1) Book Review

******* THIS BOOK REVIEW IS FOR A MATURE AUDIENCE OF 18 AND OVER*******
                                             Heaven can go to hell.

Until her cousin slaughtered the supernal family, Anazakia’s father ruled the Heavens, governing noble Host and Fallen peasants alike. Now Anazakia is the last grand duchess of the House of Arkhangel’sk, and all she wants is to stay alive.

Hunted by Seraph assassins, Anazakia flees Heaven with two Fallen thieves—fire demon Vasily and air demon Belphagor, each with their own nefarious agenda—who hide her in the world of Man. The line between vice and virtue soon blurs, and when Belphagor is imprisoned, the unexpected passion of Vasily warms her through the Russian winter.

Heaven seems a distant dream, but when Anazakia learns the truth behind the celestial coup, she will have to return to fight for the throne—even if it means saving the man who murdered everyone she loved.

          MY REVIEW

*******THIS BOOK CONTAINS MATURE SCENES NOT SUITABLE FOR 17 AND UNDER*********

First I would like to THANK Danielle at Entangled for allowing me to read and review this book. The Fallen Queen was the first Fantasy book I have ever read and I have to say I LOVED it! Some of the stuff in it had me cringing but I have an open literary mind so I kept reading and I am so glad I did because at the end of the day I really enjoyed the story.

In The Fallen Queen all Anazakia wants to do is survive because she is the last of her family. She flees Heaven with two demons Vasily and Belphagor. As she is on the run she realizes she must go back and fight for her place in order to keep the chaos out and bring order back to her home. Vasily will keep her company and she learns to trust him. What will Anazakia do when she gets back to her home? Will she fight or flee? Will she reign in an age where ruling is hard?

I have to warn you that this book does have some issues in it than can be offensive to some but they are real issues and Jane does it with such tact you don't even realize what your reading until you have read it and then say wow did I just read that. I have read a few men with men books and I have to say these authors are clever and there writing is superb and I would recommend this read to adults only because they will enjoy it. Plus if your HUGE on Fantasy this book is for you!

Jane thank you for writing this book and sharing this story for readers like myself who love a good love story and throw in some SWOON worthy men I am in like Flynn!

                ABOUT JANE
Jane began writing romantic fantasy novellas at the age of 12 in the wayback of a Plymouth Fury—which, as far as she recalls, never killed anyone…who didn’t have it coming. Born in Billings, Montana, she was soon whisked away to Tucson, Arizona where she spent most of her childhood ruining her eyes reading romance novels in the sun and watching Star Trek marathons in the dark. Although she was repeatedly urged to learn a marketable skill in case she couldn’t find a man to marry her, she received a B.A. in Creative Writing anyway from the University of Arizona.

She now lives in San Francisco with her son Samson, two feline overlords who are convinced she is constantly plotting their death, and a cockatiel named Imhotep who punishes her for sins in a past life (and whom she frequently imagines tastily smoked, dried, and splayed on a stick like omul fished from Lake Baikal).

Her pen name was inspired by the twin sister of Philip K. Dick who died shortly after their birth, and by whom he felt haunted until the end of his life.
