FALLEN

Lauren Kate

MSRP $17.99, 464 Pages.

Published by Delacorte.

Thwarted love at boarding school.

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.

Dangerously exciting and darkly romantic, Fallen is a page turning thriller and the ultimate love story.

From when I saw the cover of this book, I wanted to read it, and you know what they say about covers and books.

I must admit I did enjoy the story and the principle of the story, yet at times it felt a bit drawn out. Daniel irritated me for always dragging her away for this big discussion, but then he sulks away before barely speaking two words.

I bought this book. I had to order it at my bookstore and I had to wait two weeks for it, so you can imagine my chagrin when at the end all it did was set me up to buy Torment. This is not cool!!!!

After reading all the reviews i figured i would at least give it a chance. i actually really like the story. it was slow at some points. i would be ready to get on with the story and it felt like she kept going and going with things that didnt really matter. but overall it was a very different love story than i am used to. she is stuck between two boys she is attracted to. one is sweet and charming the other is hot and cold all the time but she feels a deep connection with him. he keeps pushing her away for her own good. but in the end it leaves you hanging for the next book which i didnt like but am excited to read the next and get all the answers :)

Fallen--in love with this book!

Rating

(Insert dramatic sigh.) It's been a while since I've read a book that's reached 5 STAR quality for me--and 5 STARS is something I rarely give out--but this book totally did it for me. Move over Hush, Hush, I have a new Fallen Angel book at the top of my list.
So--let's get into the nitty-gritty of why I liked this books so much. First off, right from the start it was refreshingly original wrapped up in suspense. Lace starts at this reform school and you have no idea what she did to land herself into this awful place. I mean the kids are vicious and creepy and it makes for a wonderfully spooky setting. Then you mix in the plot, which takes you on this wild ride from start to finish with all these strategic twists and turns. Even once I thought I had the whole story figured out...then comes the epilogue at the end and, man, did not see that one coming! Then mix in the romance...OMG...and Lauren Kate's way with words. This book just had it all. I don't have one complaint and I can't wait for Torment--the 2nd in the series due out Sept. 28 2010.


Loved it!!

I almost didn't read this book because of some of the bad reviews I read. BUT! I am soooo.... glad I ended up reading it. I kept coming back to this book and I always re-read the description. I even came across this book at a store and picked it up and kept having a little interest in it. So I finally got it for my Kindle and boy am I glad that i did. Once I started, I could not put it down. I sometimes lost track of time reading it and found myself awake really late. For someone who loves her sleep, that was a BIG deal. hahaha... I loved this book and can't wait for the next one. I already pre-orderd it on my Kindle. So do not let the bad reviews keep you from reading an awesome book.
