Seventeen-Year-Old Luce is a new student at Sword & Cross, an unwelcoming boarding/reform school in Savannah, Georgia. Luce’s boyfriend died under suspicious circumstances, and now she carries the guilt over his death with her as she navigates the unfriendly halls at Sword & Cross, WHERE every student seems to have an unpleasant—even evil—history.
It’s only when she sees Daniel, a gorgeous fellow student, that Luce feels there’s a reason to be here—though she doesn’t know what it is. And Daniel’s frosty cold demeanor toward her? It’s really a protective device that he’s used again . . . and again. For Daniel is a fallen angel, doomed to fall in love with the same girl every 17 years . . . and watch her die. And Luce is a fellow immortal, cursed to be reincarnated again and again as a mortal girl who has no idea of who she really is.
MY REVIEW
This is the first book in the Fallen series(I have to wait til September 2010 for the next book aaaahhhhh!!!) and I really liked this book quite a bit. It's a different twist on a love story with angels thrown in there. It starts off with 17 year old Luce being sent to reform school as ordered by the court for what happened to a school boy she liked(read the book and you'll find out what she did) She quickly makes friends and enemies at this school full of society rejects. Before her first class on her first day of school Luce sees a guy(Daniel) she is attracted to more than anyone else she has ever seen. As she is staring at him she thinks he smiles but before she is too sure she flips her off leaving her stunned. During the whole book Luce tries to get to know Daniel and feels a strong connection she can't explain to him(but he treats her like a stalker and is cold and hot to her throughout the entire book). During the whole story she also has a guy by the name of Cam chasing her for her attention. Luce finds there is more to this world than what meets the eyes and that not everyone is who they seem. I defiantly say read this book(And I think I did a pretty good job at not giving too much away here lol)Basically if you like love stories and with fantasy thrown in there this book is for you. I can honestly see why there is a lot of hype surrounding this book
