Falling Light (Game of Shadows, #2)
Thea Harrison
Troubled by dreams of strange creatures and unfamiliar voices echoing in her head, Mary has always felt disconnected from this world-until she met the enigmatic stranger Michael. He knew about Mary's past. He was in it. Searching for her. His soul mate. And it's taken centuries to find her, to re-engage her in an ancient, celestial cause: find the Deceiver before he destroys the world. Haunted by scores of deaths - their own - Mary and Michael have drawn on the wisdom of the ages, and the power it has given them, to fight the most malevolent force known to man. Joining a select band of warriors, Mary and Michael are nearer to understanding the Deceiver and all he stands for. It's a terrifying reality that also brings them closer to realizing their own destiny and purpose. And realizing that love - like evil - is eternal...

0The individual pieces of this series are compelling. Alien creatures in human form, endless battle with an evil foe, love that spans generations and incarnations, all of these elements make the scope of these stories vast and intricate and interesting. Within the confines of each book, however, things get a little cramped. Astra's and the Deceiver's POV's show us how alien they are, but they don't have many opportunities to show us how differently their mind works. Michael and Mary, too, burn up a lot of pages in the first few chapters rehashing their insecurities and magical properties, but it was not until the story hit the road and started moving that I really settled in.
An interesting premise, this series never immersed me in the characters or their world. More for fans of romantic SciFi or thrillers, where figuring out the mechanics of the world and plot is more of a priority than complete escape.
