An Icarus Fell Novel Series

On Unfaithful Wings (An Icarus Fell Novel #1) To some, death is the end; to others, a beginning. To Icarus Fell, it should have been a relief from a life gone seriously awry. But death had other plans. Icarus doesn't believe that the man awaiting him when he wakes up in a cheap motel room is really the archangel Michael, or that God's right hand wants him to help souls on their way to Heaven. Icarus doesn't believe there is a Heaven, so why should they want his help? But the man claiming to be the archangel tempts him with an offer he can't ignore--harvest enough souls and get back the life he wished he'd had. It seems Icarus has nothing to lose, until he botches a harvest and the soul that went to Hell instead of Heaven comes back to make him pay by threatening to take away the life he hoped to win back. To save the wife and son he already lost once, Icarus will have to become the man he never was. Somehow, he will have to learn to believe. "The next book in this series cannot come out soon enough for this reader. Not just my favorite book of the year, but one of my favorite books ever." "I loved this book." "Bruce Blake's On Unfaithful Wings is a great urban fantasy novel. I love good character development in a story's protagonist and Blake nails it with Icarus Fell. I found myself rooting for him from the get go and laughing out loud at some of his observations." "On Unfaithful Wings was an impressive first novel. All of the characters were interesting and engaging, but in particular the main character and his struggle to reconcile with his new identity/job. This is one of those stories that stays with me long after I read it and I'll be on the lookout for more from this author." "This is just, simply, amazing. Icarus is one of the best characters I've ever "met", chock full of virtues and faults and doubts and worries and a simple HUMANNESS that comes through so clearly, I almost expect to run into him around the next corner." "Icarus Fell is a flawed man but a wonderful character. From the moment I started reading On Unfaithful Wings I was pulled along by this interesting character and wanting to know what would happen next."

All Who Wander Are Lost (An Icarus Fell Novel #2) It we're good, we go to Heaven; if we're bad we go to Hell. No one wants to go to Hell. Except one man who wishes people would just remember to call him Ric. In the aftermath of a serial killer's murderous spree, souls who didn't deserve damnation went to Hell. The archangel Michael doesn't seem concerned, but Icarus Fell can't bear the guilt of knowing it's his fault they ended up there. But how can he save them when the archangel forbids him from going and his guardian angel refuses to help? The answer comes in the form of another beautiful, bewitching guardian angel who offers to be his guide. They travel to Hell to rescue the unjustly damned one by one, but salvation comes at a cost and the economy of Hell demands souls. Is it a price Icarus is willing to pay? "I am SO glad I stumbled on to this author & series! Unbelievably good. I couldn't put either book down!" "This book is a top-notch sequel to the trials in the life - or afterlife - of Icarus Fell. Without question, this is a triumphant return to the story of a man reformed as he struggles to survive in the space between spaces. Bruce Blake is fantastic with his ability to weave so many elements, twist and turns, into his work and there is no way any dark fantasy reader would not enjoy this second book." "Every once in a while a book has a gripping scene that stops me right in my tracks. This book has one such scene and it gave me goosebumps. I probably read it three or four times before continuing on. I highly recommend both of Bruce Blake's Icarus Fell novels. You won't be disappointed!" "All Who Wander is a delightful urban fantasy romp. It has just the right amount of dark and gritty, but the author is careful to feed the reader tiny nibbles of hope to keep you going through the book. I tore through it in an afternoon and immediately went out and bought the prequel."  

Icarus Fell thought the afterlife couldn't get any worse...until Hell came looking for him.   When you are the orphaned child of a disgraced nun, and you're saddled with a ridiculous name like Icarus Fell, you don't expect things can go drastically downhill. Until death comes along and an archangel recruits you for a job you screw up so badly you nearly lose your son to a demonic priest and a fallen angel. And then, burdened by the lives lost because of your foul ups, you travel to Hell, a detour that costs you more dearly then you could ever have imagined. No, things couldn't get much worse in the afterlife...unless Satan sends his lap dog to bring back the one thing he thinks belongs to him. You.   Why couldn't death be easy?
