I decided to stay in and finish Fallen by Lauren Kate this evening instead of going to see The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn for the third time. It was a very good use of the evening and I'll start the second book in the Fallen Series, Torment, shortly.
I started Fallen on Sunday and was immediately sucked in. I actually hadn't really read what this series was about, I just saw it sitting on the Teen Paranormal Romance shelf at Barnes and Noble and thought, hey what the heck, let's give this a shot. The book follows the life of Luce Price and her life as a new girl starting out in a reform school called Sword & Cross. At the school she makes several friends who take her under their wing and show her the ropes of coping with day to day life in this creepy school. She also encounters Daniel Grigori **SPOILER incoming**, a Fallen Angel, who has been falling in love with Luce throughout history. Every 17 years he meets her and she has no idea who he is but senses that she knows him from somewhere. He is of course the brooding and irresistibly attractive guy she can't seem to stay away from (much like Edward in the Twilight Saga). He's self loathing and of course tries to keep her at arms length so she won't figure anything out about him.
Lauren Kate has great character development and writes a wonderful story for you to fall in love with. I highly recommend this book to anyone who reads YA Novels.
