“You don't think I can fight." Tessa said, drawing back and matching his silvery gaze with her own. "Because I'm a girl."

"I don't think you can fight because you're wearing a wedding dress", said Jem. "For what it's worth, I don't think Will could fight in that dress either."

"Perhaps not," said Will, who had ears like a bat. "But I would make a radiant bride.”

Fall For Me Tour Part 2!! A Review of Fall for Me by K.A. Last!!!

Genre: Young Adult (Paranormal Romance)
Date Published: January 17, 2013
Publisher: Self

The Blurb:

“Angels aren’t supposed to fall in love, especially with each other. But for the record, you were worth it.”

Grace Tate is a Protection Angel and Vampire Hunter, and she has always followed the rules. But some rules are made to be broken…

Until now the fight against evil has been simple, and falling in love was never part of the plan. So what happens when it’s beyond Grace’s control, and when she least expects it she falls for the wrong person?

All hell breaks loose, that’s what.

At Hopetown Valley High, not everything is as it seems, and the one person Grace thought was her enemy becomes her most important ally.

Blood will be shed, lives will be lost and friendships will be tested. It all comes down to one decision, and when Grace tries to save all those dear to her, she realises not everyone can be—or wants to be—saved.

My Review:

Fall For Me by K.A. Last is the first book in the Tate Chronicles. After reading, Fall for Me, I can see why they recommend that you read it before reading the prequel, Sacrifice. If you haven't read either of these books, I too, recommend that you read Fall for Me first. With that being said, reading the books in this order still didn't hinder my enjoyment of them. This book keeps you on your toes as it throws things at you that you don't see coming. I loved that about this book. Grace is faced with some very tough decisions. Fall for Me doesn't put heaven and angels in a very nice light, which bothered me quite a bit, but it's fiction and it sure does make for a good story.

Fall For Me Tour Part 1!! A Review of Sacrifice by K.A. Last!!!

Genre: Young Adult (Paranormal Romance)
Date Published: May 2013
Publisher: Self

The Blurb:

Sacrifice is a 23,000 word prequel to Fall For Me. It tells the story of Grace and Seth, and what happened in that castle. It is meant to be read after Fall For Me, although it can be read first...


Seth’s heart is breaking. He knows his decision will hurt the one person he keeps breathing for, but he can’t take it anymore. He can’t be near Grace knowing she will always be just out of reach.

Grace is oblivious to Seth’s turmoil. She loves him unconditionally, but not in the way he wants. They both know that in Heaven physical love is forbidden, and to break the rules is to defy everything they’ve ever been taught.

When Grace and Seth are sent on a mission to save a young mother and her unborn child, Grace must face the fact that Seth won’t be returning home. She doesn’t understand Seth’s decision and hates him for it. But what neither of them realise is how big a part that single decision will play in shaping their entire future.

What would you sacrifice for the one you love?

My Review:

Sacrifice is the prequel to Fall For Me which is the first book in the Tate Chronicles. You can read either book first, however, it was recommended that you read Fall for Me before Sacrifice. I read Sacrifice first, since I hadn't received Fall For Me yet at the time. I didn't feel like I missed anything by reading it in this order. In fact, it made me want to read Fall For Me that much more. This book gave me a taste of the story to come. It was short and to the point, like any decent prequel should be. It gave you glimpses into the lives Grace has been assigned to right up to the life she is in when Fall For Me begins. If you've already read Fall For Me, I highly recommend that you read Sacrifice!
