When Angels Fall

Gemma Doyle has found her special power of second sight. Can she use it to find the Temple in the Realms?

By John Irvin

This is the sequel to A Great and Terrible Beauty. You know I wouldn’t promote it if I didn’t enjoy it. Following the magical and mysterious theme of its prequel, Rebel Angels, brings you further into Gemma’s life.

Will she ever be able to finish this mission?

I found several tense parts, wondering what would happen next and hoping against hope Kartik would not accomplish his mission.

If you enjoyed the first book like I did, you will have to follow my steps and buy this second installment in the trilogy.

I’m also still wondering what exactly the Temple is and if we really want to go there. Can’t wait to read the third book and finale!

REBEL ANGELS by LIBBA BRAY.

Since I’m sharing the links with Amazon, I want to give their book description:

“Gemma Doyle is looking forward to a holiday from Spence Academy—spending time with her friends in the city, attending balls in fancy gowns with plunging necklines, and dallying with the handsome Lord Denby. Yet amid these distractions, her visions intensify—visions of three girls dressed in white, to whom something horrific has happened that only the realms can explain.

The lure is strong, and soon Gemma, Felicity, and Ann are turning flowers into butterflies in the enchanted world that Gemma takes them to. To the girls’ great joy, their beloved Pippa is there as well, eager to complete their circle of friendship.


But all is not well in the realms—or out. Kartik is back, desperately insisting to Gemma that she must bind the magic, lest colossal disaster befall her. Gemma is willing to comply, for this would bring her face-to-face with her late mother’s greatest friend, now Gemma’s foe—Circe. Until Circe is destroyed, Gemma cannot live out her destiny. But finding Circe proves a most perilous task. . . .

This sumptuous companion to A Great and Terrible Beauty teems with Victorian thrills and chills that play out against the rich backdrop of 1895 London, a place of shadows and light . . . where inside great beauty can lie a rebel angel.”

Do NOT miss out on the mysterious magic: REBEL ANGELS.
