A steamy Southern beauty makes one fatal mistake
Natalie Hargrove would kill to be her high school’s Palmetto Princess. But her boyfriend Mike King doesn’t share her dream and risks losing the honor of Palmetto Prince to Natalie’s nemesis, Justin Balmer. So she convinces Mike to help play a prank on Justin. . . one that goes terribly wrong. They tie him to the front of the church after a party—when they arrive the next morning, Justin is dead.
From blackmail to buried desire, dark secrets to darker deeds, Natalie unravels. She never should’ve messed with fate. Fate is the one thing more twisted than Natalie Hargrove.
Cruel Intentions meets Macbeth in this seductive, riveting tale of conscience and consequence.
“Deliciously twisted.” -Publishers Weekly
“Lots of adjectives can be applied to this debut effort—mean, smutty, decadent—and all of them should be taken as compliments.” -Booklist

Think this book is amazing. Recommend it definitely! Can’t wait for Torment
Dude!!! ALL of my friends want to read this since they SAW it!!! Even my Algebra teached got absorbed by it and at least 10 people in this first week since I have had it, have looked at the summary in the front cover!!! That includes 2 or 3 guys and 6 girls my age and 1 teacher!!! I LOVED IT!!! TOLD THEM IT’S BETTER THAN TWILIGHT!!! Then again, that is true. Can’t believe I have to wait till September!!! That’s FOREVER away!!! Oh and I looked up the Grigori/The Watchers, nice research!!! PLEASE TELL ME THERE WILL BE MORE THAN JUST TWO BOOKS! I love them! Need them! More than just twilight! And I am a true Twi-freak!! Maybe that’s an overstatement… but still…. Please write away… I just hope the days will fly by till then!
Thanx-
Gabby with a “y” : )

OMG!! Just finished Fallen it was so good! I’m in love with this book! I cant wait for the sequel Torment!
OMG!!!!!! LOVED YOUR BOOK FALLEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hope theres a sequil!!! LOVED IT!!
fallen was the best book i ever read in my life!!!!!! its excrutiating to me to have to wait for the 2nd book torment> HURRY UP WITH THE BOOK ALREADY!!!!!! im dying 2 read it!!! ive read about 10 times already maybe?
What can I say? Amazing book, and as someone mentioned before – wwaayy better than Twilight! Can’t wait for Tormented; the suspense is KILLING ME!
I really enjoyed this book and cannot wait for “Torment” to come out later this year. I wouldn’t say that it is better than “Twilight” but it is definately worth the read/buy (over and over again). Thanks for your hard work! Plan to read “The Betrayal of Natalie Hargrove” in the future because of “Fallen”. If it’s written like “Fallen”, I am going to be hooked on all things written by you!
OMG!!! i have just finished Fallen and i only got it yesterday afternoon.. i couldn’t bear to put it down. it was so amazing and there was so much mystery. i can’t wait till september when the Torment comes out! im a really big twilight fan and i say that i agree with everyone else that it is better than twilight.
I absolutely loved Fallen! Much better than Twilight! I can’t wait until Torment comes out in September but it’s such a long wait. In the mean time i’ll just reread Fallen and The Betrayal of Natalie Hargrove about a million times. Keep up the good work!
I loved the books. I love all the tragic love stories but i’ve been reading alot of books with angels and i was hopeing this one would have a truley awsome ending and it was good but it was the ending i needed. I t had i great build up and awsome charators but the fallen doomed fallen angel wanting someone he cant have but living forever and watching forever does get a little stale after a while. One a happy note though, this one did have a slightly diffrent take and i liked the reform school thing, that was kool. I loved it and i would read it again. I finnished it in 3 days because i just couldn’t put it down. I was great. I cant wait for the next one
I LOVED FALLEN!!! it is the best book in the world!!!! I YOU COME TO LOUISIANA!! any way, does the sequel come out in september or october?
Wow! Fallen is absolutely amazing! I read it in two days and absorbed every word. I definetly can NOT wait for Torment to come out! Arriane was my favorite character by far, and I hope to see her more in the sequel…But one quick question; is everyone at Sword & Cross a Fallen Angel? That part got me a little confused.
Thanks for the great book! I’m off to read it again!!
I love the book Fallen, it was the best book I ever read!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can’t wait for the next one!!!!!!!
I just finished Fallen, I absolutely could not put it down! It was one of the best books I have ever read, and I read all the time. I just fell in love with the characters. I don’t think I can wait until September for Tempted! Can we get a sneak peek? Please!
OMG! Lauren! The book FALLEN is so absorbing! My mom took the book away from me cause I read it all day and again and again! Hahaha. I cannot wait to know more about luce and daniel’s forbidden love!!!!
I’ve just finished Fallen, and i just had to find out a bit more about you and came across your site! I’m going to get The Betrayal of Natalie Hargrove next, but i’m just longing for Torment!! I actually can’t wait! Please don’t stop at 2 books this story is truely epic i hope you can continue writing it.
=D Brilliant book!
I love the book Fallen! I can’t wait till Torment!
Angels ARE the new vampires! <3
when does the movie come out in the USA
Thanks for share, please keep us posting about this info. I’d like to read it more.
i just waaaant to say that;s really a fantastic book! hope the torment COME SOON~~please…
OMG!!! Best book ever
Let’s just say that I’m a freak in the supernatural kind of things and the type of books i’ve always been into are the ones with the Vampires! But, Fallen changed all of that. Now Im stuck in the world where angels walk on earth for there own mistakes. Me and my cousin first found out about Fallen over spring break lol in Wall*Mart! My cousin and my nerdie self were sitting on the floor, in the books section (of course), scanning through books till one caught our eye. My cuz, Found Fallen, and I found Hush, Hush. Both books instantly had us hooked. Lol my cousin isn’t even a reader, the only reason why she’s even reading ANYTHING in the first place is becuase i made her :]. I’m look forward to reading Torment everyday! && of course all of the Hush, Hush fan’s out there, Hopefully you can be patient enough to wait till Crescendo comes out ( I’m Barely Getting Any Sleep). && Hopefully more writers are getting the idea that the readers are looking for some Fallen Angel ACTION!
Just completed Fallen and WOW! It was amazing and I can’t wait for Torment.

Keep writing and I predict a huge following that will beat the Twilight fanfare.
All the best
