NEW BOOK SUBMISSION
THE FALL THAT SAVED US || TAMARA JERÉE
The QBD gave me The Fall That Saved Us by Tamara Jerée today!!
This book is one of my highly anticipated reads of 2024! It follows Cassiel as she leaves the family tradition of demon-hunting, escaped abuse, and learns to live with it while falling in love with the very thing that her family hunted.
It's a beautiful sapphic fantasy jam packed with POC characters and I am just so excited to read it!
SUMMARY
Cassiel has given up the family tradition of demon hunting, leaving behind her sacred angelic duty and fated sword. What she can’t leave behind are the scars. To cope, she spends her days immersed in work, pouring all her attention into New Haven Books, her small bookstore and anchor in the new world she’s carved for herself.
But the past hasn’t let go of Cassiel yet. When a succubus named Avitue arrives to claim her angel-touched soul, Cassiel’s old hunter instincts flare, forcing her to choose between old knowledge and her truth. What should be a fatal seduction becomes a bargain neither woman expects. As they grow closer, Avitue is surprised to find her own pain reflected in Cassiel, a nephilim deemed fallen by her own family’s standards.
By choosing trust, they reveal the lies that bind them. Falling for each other begins a path towards healing. But exorcising the effects of trauma is harder than naming it, and to explore the unfettered possibility Avitue represents, Cassiel must find a way to reclaim and redefine her angelic heritage.
