Highborn is a richly layered dark fantasy or urban fantasy about a fallen angel named Brynna who seeks redemption and wants to return to Heaven.

This story remains close to most beliefs and gives you an entirely different perceptive on fallen angels versus what's been introduced in this genre because fallen angels are not romanticized in the least bit here.

The idea is great, I'm interested to see where this series goes. Brynna is kinda disconnected from people and society, which is understandable, her exploring this `new' human world and making funny mistakes but it might make it hard for people to like her or relate to her. In many ways she seemed fragile and even vunerable to her new emotions which is a sharp contrast to her take no prisoners attitude when she protects humans. Although there is a potential love interest in this book it is in no way mushy. I liked Eran, he changes by believing more. The paranormal aspect is fun, demon powers and all. There are well done fight scenes.

Will definitely look to the next book in the series. Concrete Savior -- The second novel in The Dark Redemption Series has been completed and is scheduled for publication in June 2011.
