Falling by J Bennett Review

BLURB:
The intellectual challenge of college and the warm embrace of a serious boyfriend have given Maya the wings she needs to break away from her bookish and shy reserve. Her ideal life comes crashing down when she and her boyfriend are accosted by a stranger. A stranger with glowing hands.

Maya's boyfriend is killed. She is kidnapped. Changed.

A rescue comes, but not soon enough.

Maya’s senses sharpen, her body becomes strong and agile, and she develops the ability to visually see the emotions of those around her as colorful auras…beautiful auras…tempting auras.
 
And then there’s the song…

Now, Maya must struggle to control the murderous appetite that fuels her new abilities, accept her altered condition and learn to trust two vigilante half-brothers she never knew she had. As she joins the battle against a secret network of powerful and destructive beings that call themselves "Angels", Maya vows to find and destroy the one who changed her.

On the bright side, at least Maya's oldest half-brother has stopped trying to kill her.

My Review:
There are so many books about vampires in today's books. Even though the characters in this book had a vampirish feel to them, they were also angelic. I like the cover and it really captured the book well. Maya gets genetically enhanced and becomes an "angel". She has all these new abilities trapped inside her and has to learn how to use them before it is too late. Her brothers are also very important characters in the book and I like how they are in the background on the cover. They are not the main characters, however they were my favorite to read about. They were bad, then good, and then I am not quite sure what their motives were. This is the first book in a new series, and I will be reviewing all three books. I can not wait to read about Coping. I am giving this book a 4/5. I was given a copy to review, however all opinions are my own.
