Rapture (book 4) by Lauren Kate

***THIS IS A SERIES BOOK***

PLEASE DO NOT READ UNTIL AFTER PASSION!

Overview:
RAPTURE, the fourth & final FALLEN novel, is the Lauren Kate book the world has been waiting for.

The sky is dark with wings. . . .

Like sand through an hourglass, time is running out for Luce and Daniel. To stop Lucifer from erasing the past, they must find the place where the angels fell to earth.

Dark forces are after them, and Daniel doesn’t know if he can do this—live only to lose Luce again and again. Yet together they face an epic battle that will end with lifeless bodies . . . and angel dust. Great sacrifices are made. Hearts are destroyed.

And suddenly Luce knows what must happen. For she was meant to be with someone other than Daniel. The curse they’ve borne has always and only been about her—and the love she cast aside. The choice she makes now is the only one that truly matters. In the fight for Luce, who will win?

The astonishing conclusion to the FALLEN series. Heaven can’t wait any longer.

Review:
Wow, I was shocked to hear that there was another possible love yet again for Luce, but that being said I found myself sitting in bed reading/listening as I realized who that other person was. What an amazing twist. I didn't see it coming until it was about to happen. (Apparently neither did Lauren Kate! If you haven't already purchased this book, wait, purchase the audio book for an exclusive interview with this author from her Narrator Justine Eyre!)

Five hearts for the unsuspecting reader! Wonderful plot twists, beautiful symmetry for tying up all the loose ends and an ending that will be hard to forget for any reader.

Thanks for listening to my opinion!

Passion (book 3) by Lauren Kate

***THIS IS A SERIES BOOK***

PLEASE DO NOT READ UNTIL AFTER PASSION!

Overview:
Luce would die for Daniel.

And she has. Over and over again. Throughout time, Luce and Daniel have found each other, only to be painfully torn apart: Luce dead, Daniel left broken and alone. But perhaps it doesn’t need to be that way. . . .

Luce is certain that something—or someone—in a past life can help her in her present one. So she begins the most important journey of this lifetime . . . going back eternities to witness firsthand her romances with Daniel . . . and finally unlock the key to making their love last.

Cam and the legions of angels and Outcasts are desperate to catch Luce, but none are as frantic as Daniel. He chases Luce through their shared pasts, terrified of what might happen if she rewrites history.

Because their romance for the ages could go up in flames . . . forever.
Sweeping across centuries, PASSION is the third novel in the unforgettably epic FALLEN series.

Review:
We follow Luce on her journey through the announcers and her newest companion, Bill. An odd little gargoyle that knows more than your average apparition. I'm happy to say that each visit through the time warp seemed realistic and true to history as well as a wonderful insight into the past that Luce and Daniel shared. I'd actually like to see if Lauren writes a book where you can read new exploits in the Daniel and Lucinda Romance with every chapter for all of the 400 lives! That would be interesting.

Four hearts again for another good story. The characters were actually able to develop and take on their own personalities instead of seeming like pawns on a chess board, simply being moved around by the master author. Each visit through the past is a life lesson on what love truly means and I am glad to say it kept me on the hook of wanting more.

Torment (book 2) By Lauren Kate

***THIS IS A SERIES BOOK***

PLEASE DO NOT READ UNTIL AFTER PASSION!

Overview:
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?

The second novel in the addictive FALLEN series . . . where love never dies.

Review:
Another wonderful performance from Lauren Kate, though I do wonder still, who is Luce Destined for? The story takes a wonderful twist into a new realm where I get a small taste of the after effects of what happens when angels are left to earth to find love in new forms.

Four hearts to the good Lauren Kate! I'm glad to see that in this book, fate seems to stop controlling Luce's life, she seems to regain control for a short time at least. Here we meet the Nephilim and a possibility of a brand new love and a chance at a normal life if she chooses it. Overall, we still have to wait until we see the end of this new journey she is taking to know where she is going at all.

Fallen by Lauren Kate

***AGE ADVISMENT***
FOR AGES 15+
***THIS IS A SERIES BOOK***

PLEASE DO NOT READ UNTIL AFTER PASSION!

Overview:
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.

Review:
This book took a while to finish, while enthralling with its in-depth story, I found my A.D.D. taking over and I was bouncing from other books back to Fallen continually. While this book was read a while back from this review, I still remember it vividly. The epic story of Daniel's that is brought to a potion of light was slightly redundant. First thing that comes to mind is Ever and Damen in the Immortals Series, however, this being about Angels is a nice twist to the story.

This book receives four of five hearts, because while I found the story to be as old as time itself, (Those who have read the whole series will get the pun) I love the new style that it was told and look forward to the reviews for the rest of the series.
