Not for me. I did not like the character much and everything happend so quickly. The heroine accsepted everything too quickly and Alec was trying too hard and was an over-the top angel. It just did not fit, no chemistry ..awkward and boring.

A very interesting approach on Nephilim and Fallen Angels, an enjoyable read.
Gabby though, even if is a likable charachter, seemed to accept too easy some things and not question them at all. Some parts were too fast and needed more background explanation.

I do love books about angels, nephilim and all these things and I was looking forward to read Fortis.
Overall, I did enjoy the book very much. It has all it takes: action, romance, some steamy scenes, and good characters. Yes, it does play a bit like the "standard" girl falls for boy who took her away from family stuff but in the end it turns out nicely and interesting.
Sometimes though I had the feeling that it was a bit rushed - especially when it came to Gabby and Alec. This felt a bit "too quick" in the end, however, I still love those two.
Also, I love the fact that Gabby is not forgetting about her other half, her sister. It got a bit confusing in the end with the dark one, the fallen etc. but I guess this is also part of the plan :)
Definitely a good read and I already got book 2.

Ich lese ja gern Bücher über Engel, Nephilim und so weiter, daher hab ich mich auch auf dieses Buch gefreut. Allgemein find ich das Buch echt gut und hab die Geschichte von Gabby und Alec gern verfolgt. Es gibt alles, was ein gutes Buch so braucht: Abenteuer, Romance, und ein paar heiße Szenen (die aber nicht im Vordergrund sind und nur angedeutet werden). Und ja, es ist nicht ganz "neu": das Mädchen von nebenan verliebt sich in den gutaussehenden Jungen, der sie auch noch entführt. Aber am Ende passt es dann auch wieder. Besonders Gabby und Alec fand ich toll, wobei mir manches zu schnell ging.
Mir hat auch gefallen, dass Gabby weiterhin auch noch an ihre Schwester denkt und sie, trotz der neuen Welt, nicht vergisst.
Jedoch fand ich es dann das ein oder andere Mal etwas verwirrend - wobei ich aber mir denke, dass das so gewollt ist. Ich hab mir auf jeden Fall Buch 2 schon geholt.

#Fortis A New Adult Urban Fantasy Romance Series #NetGalley. This story begins where Gabrielle and Alec meet and unusual events unravel . Where Nephilims and Fallen Angels have been in a war since the beginning of time. It has a vibe of twilight with a dose of City of Angels. It’s filled with magical adventure and a steamy love - hate romance in this first installment to the series. I enjoyed the story and would recommend it. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Gabby is excited to start her dream college with her sister. On registration day she runs into Alec. Something is there between them, but it confuses her. She runs into him again at a party, and everything changes from there.
I enjoyed the story. Gabby is a likable girl. I felt like some parts were too fast and needed more. There were no plot holes, just seemed to accept certain things in a strange way.
This is the first in a series.

Thank you NetGalley for the digital ARC. I very much wanted to enjoy this book, i promise I did. It says it is for new adults but it is written like we are in the 1800's with the large terminology. I am not dumb in any way but I find it hard to believe that any new adult would get past the first few pages without giving up.

I absolutely love fantasy, especially novels that include angels. This novel takes us to the world of Gabrielle that lives in Los Angeles. She runs Alec St.Claire, and it goes on from there. She learns that she is the key to ending the war between the Nephilim and Fallen Angels.

I admire her. She not only made decisions based on herself but the lives of others and most importantly her sister.
If you love to hate to love slow burn romance, adventure, fantasy, and brilliant writing, I highly recommend this book.
