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

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.

"Sexy and fascinating and scary . . . I loved loved loved it!"--New York Times bestselling author P.C. Cast

One girl has led many lives. The balance lies in her hands. However, she's a little fuzzy on all the facts.

I really enjoyed this book and am eager to start the next book. I love this idea of angel-human love, the "cycle" of their lives intersecting and the battle between the fallen. The book is filled with many different characters: Molly the mean girl, Daniel the brooding beautiful boy, Cam the charmer, Gabbe the southern belle, Airrel the wacky one, Penn the faithful friend, and many more. L Kate did a good job of slowly introducing us each character, as well as slowly revealing the underlying lore of the book. I actually appreciated the style. You have to be patient, and like, earn the details, but when you see it all coming together, it is really great.
