Fallen

Fallen by Lauren Kate

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


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.



:D I read this book simply because of all the hype about it. I mean, if a book franchise is big enough for a trailer in the cinema, hell yeah I'm going to read it!

I did have some trepidations though. The last book I read in which the franchise was that huge was Twilight. But let's not go there. So, anyway, I am a (self-confessed) book trend addict. And who cares about vampires when you can have angels right? So I jumped on the angel wagon a couple of months ago with Hush, Hushand kept meaning to read this one. And now I have.



AND IT'S BRILLIANT!!!!!!



It pretty much starts off like any other YA novel (and I've read a plenty)with the main character starting a new school, having to make new friends, etc. etc. which every young person can relate to. (did I just say young person? I mean teenager) BUT!!!! Luce is starting a reform school. For crazy people. Which is pretty weird, especially as she had no idea how her love interest burst into flames....



But probably one of the best bits about this book is (in a very un-YA-main-charatery way)is that, when deciding if she likes Cam or Daniel better, she just sees them both, one after the other. She doesn't mope around, wailing about her boy troubles. She just gets into trouble with boys. I especially like it when they start fighting over her.



So, yeah it's a good book. Please read.
