And So The Breaking Begins: Mindbreaker Duet, Book 1 (An Age of War and Prophecy 3)

by Abbie Zanders
David Michael Corrigan is a man who demands total control, building a business empire on logic and cold facts. When his mother’s health fails, he is desperate enough to entertain a bizarre suggestion: summoning a mysterious healer from a local cemetery. He expects a con artist, but what he gets is Ryssa, an ethereal woman with haunting gray eyes who defies every rational explanation he clings to.
Ryssa is far from human. As a fallen angel bound to a demon-run club, she spends her existence navigating the treacherous underworld of Mythic. She has no patience for David’s arrogance, yet her divine nature compels her to protect the fiercely good soul buried beneath his hardened exterior. Forced together by fate, they must bridge the gap between his cynical mortal world and her dangerous supernatural reality.
This gripping paranormal romance masterfully blends the grumpy-sunshine trope with a high-stakes celestial conflict. As the darkness closes in, Ryssa realizes that saving David might require the ultimate sacrifice. If you are looking for a story where magic meets modern grit and destiny demands a heavy price, this installment of the Mythic series will keep you captivated until the final page.

Huge fan of Abbie Zanders, as I've said in other reviews... this is the second book in the new Mythic series, and I have to admit that I liked it better than the first. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed \"Faerie Godmother,\" but I was really torn about who Ana ended up with. \"Fallen Angel\" is really interesting, and a bit darker in some ways. You know, for example, that Ryssa is a Fallen Angel, but you don't know how she Fell; she lives on Mythic's seamy side of town, and works for the local...

I’m really liking this new series by Ms. Zanders. I warn you, the heat level on these books has been abysmally low… ok, so it’s not that bad, but after her Callaghan Brothers series’ sexy hotness these have a totally different vibe and it’s something you have to get used to. Ryssa is a fallen angel bound to service to a demon and waitressing at his club. At the same time, she helps people make the transition when the time comes to leave this world. She meets David, the son of a dying woman in...

Ok! Another very interesting story. This story is about Ryssa (fallen angel) and David (mortal man). The way these two meet is a sad situation - his mother moving on to her next journey. Zach was there to make the transition happen. Once David's mother passed, David does everything in his grasp to get back into Ryssa's presence. It was very interesting on how this couple finally got together, even though that situation was a little sad in itself. Once the transition happens, this couple find...

Found this book to be truly amazing. While very much a love story, the premise you learn is about a fallen angel and a human. I really enjoyed the back story of Ryssa, Zach, and Ana. The fun cast of characters, including Jax, Lenny, and Marcela, was great! Overall, it got me thinking about love and redemption and what one would do or sacrifice for love. (It brought me back to my philosophy classes!) It's a fantastic story and highly recommend it! )
