A Queer Retelling of Satan's Fall

In an eternal paradise, the most beautiful angel, Lucifer, struggles with shame, identity, and timidity, with little more than the desire to worship his creator.

It isn't until the strongest angel, Michael, comes into his life that Lucifer learns to love himself. Along the way, their friendship begins to bloom into something else. Maybe the first romance in the history of everything.

But this God is a jealous one, and maybe paradise is not paradise.

Contains mature themes.

Such a compelling and ingenious story! Thank you for sharing your gift of writing with the world. This book actually helped me heal a lot of traumas as a previous christian now atheist and helped me see everything in a more curious light. The way that I was able to relate to characters and their feelings was extraordinary! Can’t wait to continue onto the next one!

Wow I haven’t felt so enamored with a book in years

So poetic, beautiful, and heartbreaking. What would it be like to fall into heaven and then out? This book answers that gorgeously.

Beautifully written

The narrator was perfect. Beautiful, immaculate. I’m in awe. The book is sickening sweet and heart wrenchingly traumatic in all the best ways imaginable. The character Lucifer means a lot to me so the in depth tale for him and his experiences before man was the scratch my itchy brain needed with this story telling!

SO SO AMAZING WOW

I’ve been a fan of ABM since its first publication and every evolution of the story has made it even more wonderful!! Reading the book is definitely a different experience than listening, but I couldn’t recommended either method over the other since they’re both so good! Lance did an outstanding job with all of the voice work as well!! Very immersive and clearly spoken, I couldn’t stop listening!! If you’re on the fence about this story, just get it lol I could not sing it praise more highly!!

Astounding!!

Floored with amazement

Poetic like song of Achilles except it’s angels with Lucifer as the MC and he goes from all innocent at the beginning to inciting an ORGY AT THE END.

If Song of Achilles had an orgy

Pacing, atmosphere, references. I couldnt stop from the moment I picked it up. A wonderfully rendered tale with so much great imagery and analogies!

Gripping from page one

It was good and had beautiful descriptions and history but not much romance and felt too much in background descriptions and the plot was not very catching

Good Biblical story but drone on too much

I enjoy the notion of “getting the picture” but it was excessive descriptions that pulled from context on what was going on. Which I also think affected the performance, the cadence was difficult to keep up with and the narrator could keep up with octaves or voice changes he’d do for different characters. I really liked the characters in the story but I constantly had to double/triple takes of what was going on with them after interjections of: hair was soft, spiraled, tendrils that curled up over the ear, when talking about an argument. This was madding. This has potential, and interesting if you have the patience.

Um, What??
