She has taken an end of the world scenario and created characters that are so real they make you feel. To arm such a story with the budding of a love of such heat and passion creates a crescendo of feeling that keeps you turning the pages to see what happens next.”

NIGHT OWL REVIEW OF FALLEN This book had all of the key elements to keep me turning the pages in anticipation. It has adventure, horror, suspense, joy, love, passion and questions that built upon each other until the end.

THE BOOK WORM’S LIBRARY REVIEW OF FALLEN ...Slatton’s natural storytelling ability takes over and the reader finds themselves engrossed in another well envisioned story world.... Slatton has once again allowed her ability with words to develop a post apocalyptic world that draws the reader in, and allows them to work towards the struggle of survival right along side the characters. The characters are compelling and real.... They have weaknesses, and compulsions that are both horrifying and ennobling. Slatton has developed characters that have the courage to face a failing world, while at the same time demonstrating not only everything that is right about mankind, but everything that is wrong, as well. ... I look forward to the future installments of this trilogy.

THE BOOK WORM’S LIBRARY REVIEW OF IMMORTAL: This is a great, unexpected treasure of a story that I came across, while I was looking for something else in the library recently. Set in the time of many of the great artistic masters of Florence, during the rise and fall of the Medicis, as well as spanning the course of the Black Plague, the Inquisition, and the establishment of Florence as a great center for learning, banking and business — this book offers a tremendous historical fiction of a fascinating time in history....Ms. Slatton has proven herself a talented story teller, who is able to let the story stand for itself. And the story has the power and ability to take the reader on a true adventure through some of the greatest times of Italian history.

ALTERNATIVE WORLDS REVIEW OF FALLEN: FALLEN is an exhilarating post apocalyptic thriller that contains superb twists and spins, which keep the reader wondering what next. The fast-paced story line grips the reader early on with the vivid description of a world gone mad and never slows down... An exciting end of the world thriller.

JANDY’S BOOKS REVIEW OF FALLEN: I was pulled into Fallen from the first few pages. Traci L. Slatton's apocalyptic world seems eerily possible. No one knows why the mists appeared. Yet they have ravaged the buildings and metal objects in the world and killed billions of people. How does a person fight a monster like that?...Emma and Arthur's characters are complex, unfolding slowly as their relationship does.

Fallen is billed as the first of a trilogy. After Emma learns some devastating secrets, she separates from Arthur despite the love she has developed for him. Now the reader has to wait to see what will happen next to her, Arthur, and Mandy.
This is not a girly romance. Slatton has written an apocalyptic novel with a romance built in - like most good stories should have. Fallen is excellent. I'll have to watch for the sequel.

TAKING TIME FOR MOMMY REVIEW OF FALLEN: Excellent book, I mean Unbelievable! So I tracked down the author because I was dying to know when the next one came out and Thankfully it’s December!

CRYSTAL BOOK REVIEWS on FALLEN: The reader is forced to consider previously stable definitions of time, obedience, psychic powers, science, and most importantly, love. Powers exist, perhaps, that enhance long-ignored mental skills but is the power of memory too strong to allow for new ways of relating and the freedom to explore same without guilt and ignoring the instinctive inclinations of the heart?
Many, many questions arise as one reads this story that defies what can be falsely read as a simplistic story/ plot. Traci L. Slatton is a writer to watch closely, including in whatever sequels follow this unique, well-written sci-fi novel!

DREY’S LIBRARY REVIEW OF FALLEN: This is so not a world I want to live in--a mysterious mist that kills, rogue bands of survivors who round up women and children for far more nefarious purposes than you could imagine, dwindling food supplies...
I like Emma. She's strong, she's resolute, and she's fearless in standing up for those who can't help themselves--almost to the point of getting herself killed...

The plot is simple (survive), the story is moving. I enjoyed reading Fallen, and the realization at the end makes me antsy to find out what happens in the sequel to this first-in-a-trilogy.
