Review: Fallen by Lauren Kate

Fallen (Fallen #1)
Author: Lauren Kate
Publisher: Delacorte Press
Publication Date: December 8, 2009
Pages: 452
Source: Hardcover/Own

There’s something achingly familiar about Daniel Grigori.

Mysterious and aloof, he captures Luce Price’s attention from the moment she sees him on her first day at the Sword & Cross boarding school in sultry Savannah, Georgia. He’s the one bright spot in a place where cell phones are forbidden, the other students are all screw-ups, and security cameras watch every move.

Even though Daniel wants nothing to do with Luce–and goes out of his way to make that very clear–she can’t let it go. Drawn to him like a moth to a flame, she has to find out what Daniel is so desperate to keep secret . . . even if it kills her.

Review: Ok, so right off I'm gonna admit it, The cover of this book made me pick it up. Its so beautiful and it pulled me toward it. Then after I read the synopsis I decided to get it. Now, like many others I also have the complain that it started out slow and was kind of boring at the beginning. Don't get me wrong, I love this book. It just started out slow. The details and interest in what was going to happen kept me reading though. I was one who desperately wanted to know what Daniel was hiding. 

Sword & Cross... I got really depressed every time we heard a description of that place. Its sounds so depressing!!! I did like how descriptive Lauren Kate was however. Even though it was depressing to hear and think about Sword & Cross I liked how the descriptions gave you a clear picture of the place. 

The whole thing with Luce feeling like she knew Daniel even though she never met him and her whole thing with the "shadows" was interesting. It kept me reading, even when it was a little slow the small pieces of info you found out even in those parts made you wanna keep reading. I also found the fact that Luce was grouped together on a piece of paper in the files with Cam, Daniel, Arriane, Gabbe and the others interesting. What did she have in common with any of them? I also found the fact that there was such little info on Daniel when Luce and Penn went investigating interesting. And while we are on the subject of Penn I really liked her. She was an awesome friend to Luce. There was so many questions I was asking myself while reading when we found out another piece of info. It kept me hooked because I so badly wanted those questions answered. 

The end... OMG! I was totally not expecting what went down in the end. It was like *BOOM* sudden and intense action scene. It was a great ending. I was sad however with one of the people who died and who turned out to be on what side and who suddenly turned out to be not what was expected. It definitely sets up so much for Torment though. 

Overall I really enjoyed this book and I would recommend it to others. :)

Review: Passion by Lauren Kate

Passion (Fallen #3)
Author: Lauren Kate
Publisher: Delacorte Press/Random House
Publication Date: June 14, 2011
Pages:420
Source: Hardcover/Own

Luce would die for Daniel.

And she has. Over and over again. Throughout time, Luce and Daniel have found each other, only to be painfully torn apart: Luce dead, Daniel left broken and alone. But perhaps it doesn’t need to be that way…

Luce is certain that something—or someone—in a past life can help her in her present one. So she begins the most important journey of this lifetime… going back eternities to witness firsthand her romances with Daniel . . . and finally unlock the key to making their love last.

Cam and the legions of angels and Outcasts are desperate to catch Luce, but none are as frantic as Daniel. He chases Luce through their shared pasts, terrified of what might happen if she rewrites history.

Because their romance for the ages could go up in flames… forever.

Sweeping across centuries, PASSION is the third novel in the unforgettably epic FALLEN series.


Review: Luce starts traveling through announcers to her past lives, hoping to find the source of the curse and change it. Along the way she learns just how deep Daniels love for her is and what happens each time she dies. The farther back she travels the more she learns but what exactly happens in the end may shock you.


OMG! I LOVED the ending. I didn't expect it to end quite like that but it was definitely enjoyable. I got a little bored reading the stories of her past lives but in the end it was worth it. Its obvious that a lot of research was done just for this book alone. It was pretty interesting learning certain things from her past lives and all the different ways things happened. I also loved how real the love seemed to be in every lifetime. I liked how the book wasn't only from Luce's perspective but also from Daniel's as he was chasing after her through each life time. It really gave you a sense of what he was thinking and feeling at the same time she was experiencing each life. Things that were referenced and questions people had from the other books suddenly made sense and were answered. A fair amount of times while i was reading, I read something and I was like "Oh" because I finally understood things. I love the cover of the book. It is beautiful. I cant wait for Rapture to come out. :)
