Summary: (courtesy of http://laurenkatebooks.net/category/books)
Lucinda is sure that she and Daniel are meant to be together forever. Now they are forced apart in a desperate bid to save Luce from the Outcasts–immortals who want her dead. As she discovers more about her past lives, Luce starts to suspect that Daniel is hiding something. What if he has lied to her about their shared past? What if Luce is really meant to be with someone else?
My Rating: 9 out of a possible 10
Explanation: I wasn't sure what to expect when Fallen left off [you can read my review of Fallen HERE]. Thankfully, I was riveted to this entire novel. Without giving anything away, I'll say that the new location was fabulous to picture, and brought a new host of characters that are fascinating and crucial in their own way.
In fact, not much is revealed about Luce in the grand scheme of things, and somehow that didn't faze me. The shadows become not only revealed, but crucial, and the end leaves off with a cliffhanger. The sequel, Passion, comes out this summer [according to the last page of the book], and I will be watching and waiting for it.
I have a theory about a patten I noticed with the couples, and I don't want to write it, but if anyone else would like to hear it, feel free to email me HERE, and please let me know your own theories.
Overall, this book was better and faster moving than the first, and a great tie in of characters and plots, despite the new setting. Also, new sides of existing characters are revealed, and the plot has twists around every corner. If you've read the first one, rush out and get this one somehow.
