From Goodreads: Hell comes home to Jersey. The seven Fallen have returned. Ancient demons with a taste for human flesh are reborn in Newark, New Jersey. Ann, a PhD student, and Mike, a local traffic cop, are all that stand in the Fallen’s way. Trapped in a hospital filled with monsters, there appears to be no way out. That is until they stumble on a crazy patient who claims to be an immortal demon hunter from a century ago. Now they must unravel the mystery of the “Cursed” and battle to escape with not only their lives but their very humanity.

This novel has a little bit of everything, and I think that many readers, across all spectrums, will really enjoy it.  There are werewolves, vampires, zombies… but these are not the traditional type we’re used to.  Instead, Laube has taken these entities and created a much fiercer, scarier group of monsters, and I loved the explanations and details provided as the monsters multiplied within the novel.

I enjoyed the plot of the story, though at times I did feel like I was missing some information—nothing to the point where I couldn’t follow the story, but I feel like I was left with a lot of questions that weren’t answered, though, as this novel is the first in a series, I think it is natural for readers to feel this way. In terms of characters, I enjoyed most; however, Ann was a little difficult to stomach at times.  For me, she’s a little too naive and her neediness was a little overwhelming.  Yet, she pulls through in the direst of situations, making her a likeable character in the end.  I did thoroughly enjoyed both Mike and Miller, especially as the battle scenes unfolded and Miller attempts to protect those around him from the Fallen.  Overall, I think Laube did a great job putting this novel together; this was a good read.  Three and a half stars. 

 I received a copy of this novel from the author in exchange for an honest review.
