Reckoning: Laury Falter


I really enjoyed this series.  It had ONE love interest, which I really enjoy.  I like Maggie's stubbornness.  She isn't going to sacrifice her personality for the guy she loves.  She is true to herself and her calling as a Messenger.
In this book, I think it's this book...well the series (it just kinda flows) she starts killing the Fallen Ones on her own, now that she's returned to earth as an Alterum and she's a better fighter.  She leaves by herself leaving Eran behind, or so she thinks, until one night she catches a glimpse of him, but she thinks she's making it up.  Then she goes to kill this one Fallen One and she gets herself in a bit of a tight spot and Eran shows up and saves her.  The Fallen Ones are getting pissed, and they start retaliating by killing Alterums.   The Alterums decide to hold a meeting where all the Alterums come and they kind of talk about it, etc. Well Eran and Maggie decided not to go, and they were going to enjoy their time alone in the house (you know you've been waiting for them to have sex).  But when they get home, they are taken captive forced to go to London for the meeting, which is more like a trial.  Some of the Alterums wanted to hand her over to the Fallen Ones.
When she sleeps she visits her past lives to find out about herself.  But then she learns she can visit others' past lives, and so she decides to visit some of the Fallen Ones past lives.  She finds out what act causes Abbadon to fall.  Before, he'd never actually did the acts, but had people do them.


Characters to know:
Maggie: She's in love with Eran and she has her memories of her past lives back and is an Alterum in this lifetime.
Eran: Is Maggie's guardian and love.  He has a deep devotion to Maggie.  Although he has a lot of guilt about one of Maggies specific deaths.
Abbadon: The big bad of this book
Gershom:  He is a recently Fallen One who tried to turn things around, and ended up dying at Abbadon's hands, but before he died, Luce transported him to the afterlife but as a Alterum.  He really proves himself in this book.  He was the Fallen One who killed her parents.
Ezra, Felix and Rufus:  Lovely as always!  Maggie found out that they were all Alterums and are there to protect Maggie in the last book.
