Fallen
(5 reviews with an average rating of 5 out of 5)
Part one of the Fallen series
Publisher: Corgi Children's
Luce has been falsely implicated in the mysterious death of a school friend, and much to her despair, has been sent to reform school. Sword and Cross is a dismal place, filled with an eccentric array of students and staff, although one student, Daniel, seems curiously familiar.
Daniel is impossibly beautiful but initially hostile towards Luce, while their fellow student Cam displays far more interest in getting to know her better. Soon Luce realises that all is not as it seems at Sword and Cross and discovers that many of her classmates are hiding an angelic secret.
This book is aimed squarely at fans of Stephanie Mayer’s Twilight and the story is built around a familiar theme of forbidden love, however, Luce is a more likeable heroine than Mayer’s Bella, with a stronger capacity for female friendship as well as romance.
This pacy book is the first in a series and is sure to satisfy all those teenagers looking for a gripping new saga to devour.

I really liked the plot of this book with great relatable characters which you promptly get to know and love. Luce is a very brave, unique character and she is faced with big dilemmas throughout the book (Daniel and Cam) and consequences with dangerous outcomes. Lauren Kate has written it beautifully and the ending is lovely and makes you want to read the rest of the series.

I really love this book and have finished reading the whole series. FALLEN is a great start to this series because I quickly fell in love with Luce as she was braving the beginning of a long rollercoaster ride of an adventure. The love dilemma she faced with Cam and Daniel made her feel like any normal teenage girl. The balance of normalcy and angle fantasy is masterfully done in a way that was exciting and made to feel completely real by Lauren Kate.
