Once, Alex Verus was a diviner trying to live quietly under the radar. Now, he's a member of the Light Council who's found success, friends...and love. But it's come with a price - the Council is investigating him, and if they find out the truth, he'll lose everything. Meanwhile, Alex's old master, Richard Drakh, is waging a war against the Council, and he's preparing a move that will bring Alex and the life mage, Anne, under his control. Caught between Richard and the Council, Alex's time is running out.

I enjoyed this book the most. I believe that's because of the great writing and character development from the past books. Fallen has sparked new life into this series. I am looking forward to the next book.

Alex Verus is still haunted by his time apprenticed to Richard Drakh. He's been free of him for many years, but now the only way to keep his friends from being harmed is to again work for Richard and his deadly ally. Even worse, he's forced to bring the Light mage Anne into this servitude as well. After weeks of being hunted and finally cornered into what he thought was his last stand, Alex never thought his life would be spared - and never anticipated at what price. This time, the diviner can see no way out.

Please stop being so predictable

It seems like Alex and his friends are just being bullied again. After countless assassination attempts, burning of homes, kidnappings, torture and much more, these people just can seem to fight back. the last book was filler and this one is too. I would like to see these characters play offense and stop being stuck in reaction mode. This is good writing but the character development has gotten stuck somewhere. I am disappointed, because i feel like these characters are alive by pure luck.

Diviner Alex Verus finally made one too many enemies on the Council of Mages, and now one of them is angry enough to have him executed. Fighting for his life is nothing new, but this kill order also calls for the death of Alex's dependents - and there's no way that he'll let Luna, Anne, and Vari take the heat. With only a week before he's history, Alex will have to figure out how to disassociate himself from his friends, scrounge up allies on the council, and hopefully keep his head attached to his body.

I'm very disappointed in this book. There is no growth in the story , Alex tries to win then Alex loses. He keeps thinking he can win but then he loses. I don't even want to listen to or read another one of these books. its been drawn out too long. I really did not like this story. I hate writing reviews, but look at how many words I have written. I'm sorry for not being more detail but this is on an emotional level for me and I'm in bed right now. this book sucked.
