Many have heard the ancient Biblical tale of how a third of the angels rebelled against God's commands along with Lucifer and fell to the Earth. Do you often wonder if any of those "fallen" wish they had chosen differently, if they are able to reconsider their actions?
In the debut novel Nameless by Kyle Chais, this is the premise for the book. A fallen angel is finding himself bored with the same old routine on earth and wonders if angels can continue to fall from heaven to earth, is there anyth...more

The angel who doesn't want a name, is called Nameless. He is a Fallen angel, doesn't want to be called a demon. He enters in Aurick, a drunk, and takes over his life for three years but becomes ill because he's been in the body too long. He wants to return back to the Father, with a dear friend, Aisley, who believes if they do enough good with God's creation (people) then they may be able to enter back in the kingdomly gates. Sadly, the few good things they tried to do just ended up a disaster....more
The Nameless are the angels who have fallen and live in the nameless realm, waiting for inescapable death. One such angel has been watching the humans in New York. It passes the time, but at times, it is quite boring. Over the years, the humans do not deviate much in their desires and their goals. However, one individual has captured the Nameless' attention.

After having a chance to read this book, I planned to give it a four star review but decided against it for a few reasons. The reasons being that I couldn't put it down and that is a big sign, the numerous references to other books and entertainment that creates jokes to pop culture today, the book kept me thinking for days after finishing b/c it questions a persons morality. Hopefully people look into this book, read it, and have the same experience I had about questioning the ideas of what is...more
This book was a struggle. It took me over two months to finish because I couldn't force myself to read more than a little bit every so often. This is one of the few books I've considered not finishing because of how frustrating it was to read.
From the beginning it was slow, had absurd leaps, and very stilted, repetitive dialogue. There were some hysterically horrible editing issues - the seven and three year mix-up is the most glaringly obvious of those. The last chunk of the book finally picked...more

Nameless is a unique debut of wondrous proportion. A quirky and somewhat darkly hilarious story of good and evil, darkness and light, angels and demons, you’ll be dazzled. Chais has created a world with his inimitable prose and characters that will try to leap off the page if you let them. I pray we’ll be hearing more from him and his magical way with words.
A fallen angel waits for his eternal damnation and tries to change his fate by possessing a human and doing good deeds. He is a Nameless. S...more
I have been running to my mailbox for this book. I AM SO EXCITED to read this novel. 18 year old teenager in New York wrote it. How exciting!
....well, this is strange....started having dreams about the nameless, which were really more like nightmares so I must abandoned the book entirely and donate it straight away. I can be superstitious like that...

Not an entirely bad book. I found it hard to keep focused on the book, but the story line is interesting.
Well, I published it. So of course, I think it's fantastic!
Strange and a little derivative, but a decent read
Couldn't finish this. Was written so poorly.
NAMELESS by Kyle Chais is a promising debut novel, written by the author who has such an inspiring story. NAMELESS is not the traditional take on the fallen angel tale. Don't mistake this book for an angel book that will pop up on Young Adult shelves. NAMELESS is gritty and thought-provoking.

I found this one to be disjointed and slow; also I found the magic system of the Fallen to be riddled with contradictions and all-too-convenient loopholes (it's a pet peeve of mine, but maybe it won't annoy others as much).
