In the wake of Twilight there have many more young adult books published featuring paranormal characters and love triangles...
FALLEN
(BOOK 1)
written by Lauren Kate
genre: young adult, series, paranormal romance, angels
After a bizarre fire kills a friend Luce is sent to a reform school where her classmates seem odd yet intriguing. One student in particular catches her eye, gorgeous and standoffish, Daniel Grigori. Then there is charming handsome, Cam who tries to get her attention as well. She is torn between someone who wants her or someone who does everything to avoid her.
I started out liking the novel and the teen angst and longing was all right. Luce was a bit annoying and weak but this seems to the new characteristics for teen heroines. I thought that the "mystery" dragged out for too long and even when answers were given it still came out stilted. I sort of felt letdown when everything was explained. It built up my expectations way too much. Unfortunately, I will not continue with this series.
Anyone love this book/series and have thoughts?
love,
kris
