Seventeen-Year-Old Luce is a new student at Sword & Cross, an unwelcoming boarding/reform school in Savannah, Georgia. Luce’s boyfriend died under suspicious circumstances, and now she carries the guilt over his death with
her as she navigates the unfriendly halls at Sword & Cross, where every student seems to have an unpleasant—even evil—history.

It’s only when she sees Daniel, a gorgeous fellow student, that Luce feels there’s areason to be here—though she doesn’t know what it is. And Daniel’s frosty cold demeanor toward her? It’s really a protective device that he’s used again . . . and again. For Daniel is a fallen angel, doomed to fall in love with the same girl every 17 years . . . and watch her die. And Luce is a fellow immortal, cursed to be reincarnated again and again as a mortal girl who has no idea of who she really is.



My Thoughts
WOW! A mystifyingly awesome book.
I completely LOVED it. I read it all in one sitting. It was just that good!

Page after page, the thrilling events all kept me engaged and reading. There was nothing confusing. Everything is plain and simple. Definitely easy to understand.

I love the way Daniel and Luce met. It wasn't the typical cliche- love at first sight. She saw him. He saw her. Then flipped her off. LOL. Very unique I'll say.

The way Daniel's and Luce's relationship grows and deepens is very intense. I like how it develops and how their first kiss is near the end of the book. Its not sudden but something to wait for.

I love the whole concept of angels especially how Daniel's wondrous wings are described. The events are constant and consuming.


Lauren Kate really knows how to keep a reader engaged. A breathtaking read.
Cant wait to read Torment!

    Great review! I'm really glad that you enjoyed it. :) I absolutely loved 'Fallen' and can't wait to get my hands on 'Torment'. I read and reviewed this on my blog not too long ago. It's a great start to a series.

    Happy reading!

    Well I had this book pegged wrong. I thought this was of the insta-love variety where the main characters get together early on. Thanks for setting me straight!

    Fallen's another book I've wanted to read, and the cover is absolutely beautiful in a gloomy way.

    The storyline is interesting also, and your review made the book sound even more desirable to read! Keep up the great work!

    Wow! You're the 1st person that I heard (read) that said the flipping of Daniel to Luce was unique. I agree with you on that! Lauren Kate knows how to write a story that's just soo good! I read this and Torment and currently reading Passion! (enjoying so far!)

    I didn't like this book at all. It was pretty much the same like many other books. I didn't find there nothing original. Still, you write great review on Fallen. :)

    I read this book in my native language - Slovac and i just did not like it at all - sorry... The story was quite predictable for me, characters were really one-dimensional, i didnt care for Luce - which is a bda thing, i guess... but still i am considering picking up the sequel as i want to know more about Cam!

    I actually think this is one of the worst books I've read. It's dull & unoriginal. The pacing is slow & Luce is naive & annoying.
    But, great to know you loved it. Nice review!

    I'm glad to hear you liked it. I had begun to read it a while ago, but I only got a few pages in because I thought the scenery was described way too much and that annoyed me. I'm mad at myself for not finishing the book, though. haha. So I guess since you liked it so much, I can give it a chance. I'll go and finish it. Thanks for the review!!!!!!!!

    I'm hearing amazing things about Fallen. I desperately want to read it, but it's always checked out at the library. Probably should go ahead and bite it. I'm pretty sure I'll love it. I've definitely jumped on board the angel bandwagon that has hit a peak in the past couple years with Fallen; Hush, Hush; Halo by Alexandra Adornetto (I recommend that one. It's sweet and the sequel will be released soon).
