Branded

Captivating - You won't want to put this one down!

I have read very few stories that I would call captivating. Keary Taylor's Branded is one that I have no hesitation of laying the term on. When I first stumbled across the book, the synopsis intrigued me. Angels - but not like every one pictures them. I decided to take a peak. From page one, I was hooked. I couldn't stop reading. I read almost three quarters of the book before my aching, bloodshot eyes demanded I stop. You won't find another plot like this one. Whether you've read every angel story out there or none at all, this one should enthrall you. As I read, I felt for Jessica (our main character). Her plight, her loneliness, the insane torture she goes through every time she sleeps. And then things got more complicated with the addition of a few new characters. While this book does have a few typos, I think Keary Taylor's powerful writing, knack of description and wonderful characters will allow you to look past those minor errors. I know I skipped right over them! Personally, I can't wait to pick up the next book in the series.

Thrilling and unique novel!

Branded: Fall of Angels was a thrilling and unique novel. The refreshing quality in the storyline surpassed any Angel stereotype I've read so far. Jessica, the main character, was an empowering, strong-willed figure who had high tolerance for difficult situations. Every night she dreamed about vengeful angels who decided her fate on wrongful crimes. The punishment for her "crimes" were either to brand and condemn her to hell or send her above. The whole visualization of the trial was creepy and scary. The initial fear that Jessica exuded was heart-wrenching and doleful. I definitely respected Jessica for having the strength to deal with the daily nightmares that followed her into reality. After being branded, she would wake up with the burning mark of an X on her neck and angel wing carvings on her back. It was truly fascinating to see how the nightmares lurked with her everywhere she went.

Now, this book was definitely not all about pain and anguish. I did meet a charming, good-looking, swoon worthy guy who swept Jessica off her feet. Alex, was the perfect example of a sweet, bad boy that fit the description of my perfect guy. The way he treated Jessica was full of true, unconditional love. He was the one person in Jessica's life who kept her safe and grounded. Throughout the novel, Keary does a wonderful job of keeping the mystery behind Jessica's trials. I didn't fully understand the scenario until answers slowly unraveled. The twists were intriguing yet a little predictable at times. Overall, Keary is an indie author whose talent has the ability to move her readers. The characters and organized plot were well-executed. I am surprised that such creativity hasn't been scooped up by a big publisher yet. I truly cannot wait to see what Keary has in store for us next!

Not a good read

Out of 1-5, I would give this book a 1, becuase I thought it was going to be a good book. It was not. This book is definently for hopeless romantics, what with all the "I love this man more than I will ever love anyone" nonsense and how everyone was trying to get the main woman to with be them. To me,this book was silly unless you happen to like these type of books, then this is the book for you. I definently will not be purhasing and reading the second book, for, it will no doubt, be as bad as the first one.

I liked this book very much. I read all three of them in about a week. Good series, deffinitely a different view on the angels n how you are judged, but i felt that it was a good book

Awful

This book sucks. The story is sooooooo slow. Characters are not well developed. I kept on waiting of the good part the others said, there was none. What a waste of time and money.

For the Dude That Rated this 1 of5

You certainly didnt read the right book I thought it was amazing and your the only rating under 3 stars ! PARTY POOPER !

Loved it!! Could hardly ever put it down without a fight.

I loved the book. The twist with how people usually think angles are good but thent arent is reall cool. Im 11 and i wouldnt recomend it for anyone under the age of 11 because of some of the stuff. Like Sals ex-hubby and the fake suicide attemped. LOVE IT!

Really good,couldnt put it down.

Really good,couldnt put it down.

Loved It!!

I didn't know what to expect but I really did enjoy it. I can't believe that I cried at the end, usually I just get really sad but I rarely ever cry. Can't wait to start reading the second book, Forsaken.

I enjoyed this book very much, captivating and beautifully written i really liked it , only critisism is at points especially towards the end it got a little too cheasy for my taste. Otherise good book.

Love!!

I loved this book! It's so good. Started a little slow, for me, but the pace picked up quickly. Could not put it down. Read all four (including Afterlife, the companion to Vindicated) in less than two days. The only down side is that there are nit more books!

Awesome book

This book is so great, I could not put it down it was so good. No not just good two sexy guys that want Jessica and its so beautiful. The love between Alex and Jessica is so pure :)

Deceivingly Good!

I stumbled upon this book and I fell in love with the series. It's an independent published book but in no way does that mean it shouldn't be on a best sellers list. It's written so well that you even fall in love with the evil characters.

Amazing

I loved it! Branded is a book that makes you really want to turn the pages. At first it was a little boring but i kept reading and now i am extremely glad that i did.

Highly recommend

This book was more than I expected. I've now started the next book in the series.

Loved it!!!

Loved it! Was instantly hooked! Would definitely recommend

Check this book out.

Didn't want to put this book down. I immediately went to book two "Forsaken" so that I could continue following the story. It puts an entirely new twist on the role of angels in our lives and in our death. If you are buying this book, be sure to buy the second and third they are worth every dollar spent.
