Hell on earth.

That’s what it’s like for Luce to be apart from her fallen angel boyfriend, Daniel. It took them an eternity to find one another, but now he has told her he must go away. Just long enough to hunt down the Outcasts—immortals who want to kill Luce. Daniel hides Luce at Shoreline, a school on the rocky California coast with unusually gifted students: Nephilim, the offspring of fallen angels and humans.

At Shoreline, Luce learns what the Shadows are, and how she can use them as windows to her previous lives. Yet the more Luce learns, the more she suspects that Daniel hasn’t told her everything. He’s hiding something—something dangerous. What if Daniel’s version of the past isn’t actually true? What if Luce is really meant to be with someone else?


“Sexy and fascinating and scary . . . I loved loved loved it!”

A LOT better than the first book! More action, a faster pace, and Luce finally bought a clue :) Very nice, now, I can't wait 'till the next book comes out next summer!
However, I was a bit annoyed with Daniel, his attitude is not helping Luce to understand and to trust him. He might very well have this whole big picture thing going on, as he's been with her (but for how long? a few weeks each time?) a thousand times. He keeps forgetting that she doesn't know all of this, though. And even if she feels connected to him, she doesn't really know him all that well, since she can't remember her past lives.
And Luce is not the kind of girl I prefer to see as the heroine, she's a little weak at times, not really thinking things through. But I have faith in her (or rather, I have faith in Lauren Kate).
