Fallen By Lauren Kate

Book: Fallen

Author: Lauren Kate

Genre: YA Fantasy

Rating: 9/10-amazing Book

Fallen was a page turning thriller. The round characters added up very well to the main character. Though the description of the setting was a little off ,that didn't stop me from reading. This story also has been compared to the world wide famous "Twilight." But I don't see the similarities in between them except the love traingle. This book's prologue starts off in england during the 1850's. A man sketches a drawing of the woman he loves. But knowing that their love is damned, he tries to flee and move somewhere else. To his surpirse she wakes up and sees his suitcase. He tells her that he's leaving and she begs him that she wants to go with him.

Their distance was very little between them and she starts to remember her previous lives. In the last few minutes they have left together the man held her close to him and kissed her. Finally she is taken away by a mysterious shadow during the kiss and he is left alone again. Then the book continues on with the main character Lucinda(Luce) price. A seventeen year old girl sentenced to go to "Swords and Cross" a dull and gray reform school due to previous events in her life.Including the mysterious death of her old boyfriend Trevor. Who was killed in a fire when he was with her. Making her the only suspect. When Luce enters the school , late for her orientation she sees three other people there too. A blonde haired girl named Gabbe. A freckled-covered face, guy named Todd. and lastly a guy with slick black hair, pale skin, and alluring green eyes named Cam. But unlike the other two students, Cam looks at her and held his gaze. Later on in the story Luce meets a girl named Arriane who is forced to take Luce on a tour around the school. During the tour Luce spots a guy leaning against a wall of a building, wearing a red scarf that goes against the all-black school uniform. But then Luce is struck with a random memory of seeing him before and being wrapped in his arms. He had golden hair, muscular arms, tanned flawless skin caught her attention at the first sight. Arriane tells her that his name is Daniel Grigori. But the thing is that Daniel wants nothing to do with Luce and he tries his best to keep her away. The rest of the book Luce spends most of the portion struggling between her bond with cam and her obssesion with Daniel. Lauren kate did an excellent job by picking a gothic tone to the story. She ends the story with an amazing twist and leaving you wanting to read the next book. The love triangle between the characters is really good. Her next book: Torment will come out semptember 28th

I will be writing a review and rating it about it. I recommend this book to fans of "Twilight." Also if you loved this book I also recommend reading "Hush,Hush" by Becca Fitzpatrick.
