Between Heaven & Hell, Book 2
Title: Between Heaven & Hell
Author: Astrid V. Tallaksen
Genre: Urban Fantasy / Paranormal Romance
Being a fallen angel used to be easy. A quiet life with the people she loves is all Sara ever asked for. Unfortunately, the apocalypse didn't get the message. After nearly losing everything, she's managed to put her life back together and start living what she hoped was happily ever after with her small family. Now she wants nothing more than to hide away and pretend the end of the world is a distant rumor. Her life has already been torn apart once. Doesn't she deserve a break?
The apocalypse finds its way back to her doorstep when a letter arrives. Is it a friendly warning, a dire threat, or a simple reminder that she can't run away from what's to come? Sara refuses to take heed and pays dearly for her avoidance. With her family in danger and the preservation of free will hanging in the balance, she finds herself with no other choice. Sara must follow the path forged for her, a path that may take away everything she holds dear and leave her in pieces at the end. She's caught between Heaven and Hell, and the last person she'd ever have considered trusting might just be her greatest ally.
At Death’s Door, Book 1
Title: At
Death’s Door
Author: Astrid
V. Tallaksen
Genre: Urban
Fantasy / Paranormal Romance
The world is a pretty straightforward place. Even for medium Sara
Stone things seem pretty simple, aside from the whole talking to spirits bit.
But when the spirits get too hard to handle and Sara ends up admitted to a
mental hospital, the world starts to seem a lot less straightforward. First her
family disappears, including her four year old son. Then she gets the sneaking
suspicion that not only are the staff at the mental hospital somehow connected,
but they also have no intention of ever letting her leave the hospital.
Everything
changes when Sara has her first visitor in three months. Daniel is handsome,
friendly, and a complete stranger. When he promises to spring her from the
hospital and swears that everything she's experienced is completely real, Sara
has no choice but to believe him. But once she reaches a run-down Victorian
house in the tiny Alabama town her rescuer calls home, the last thing she
expects to discover is that every memory she has is a lie.
Daniel
reveals a world filled with angels, demons, and an impending war humans know
nothing about. Sara wants to ignore her role in the whole mess – all that
matters is solving the mystery of where her son has gone. But the forces of
Heaven, Hell, and the Heart have other plans for her. Can she find her child
before the world comes crashing down?
Author Bio
Astrid V. Tallaksen grew up with a heart
for stories of creatures and places outside of this world. Her love of reading
quickly became a love of writing. She spent several years creating content and helping
writers to improve their craft on the online world of Althanas, a creative
writing workshop in the guise of a roleplaying forum. A self-avowed nerd,
Astrid loves science fiction, comic books, and eighties fantasy movies in the
vein of The Princess Bride and Labyrinth. Her geekiness extends to annual
volunteer work at the massive sci-fi convention known as Dragon*con every year
in Atlanta, Georgia. In the odd times that she's not immersed in geekdom or
writing, Astrid loves to sing karaoke, crochet, and spend time with her family
and pets.

Review:
This is the second book in the
series, and it’s even better than the first one. And I didn’t think that was possible. It is also the saddest book I’ve read in a
very long time, but left me hopeful that the final book would have a happy
ending.
In this book Sara/Azreal, the angel
of death, loses those she holds most dear and finds someone new to care
for. It is a tragedy of Shakespearean
levels, but ends with a hint of hope.
I give this book 5 out of 5 clouds
and anxiously await book 3.
