Fallen

Sooo I finished another book today. :)

It's called FALLEN, it's by Lauren Kate, and it was very very good. It's about a girl named Luce who has been seeing shadows that no one else can see since she was very young. Recently, she was with her crush Trevor at a party, and something happened that resulted in Trevor's death. Luce doesn't know any more about it than anyone else, but she was with him, so she has been implicated in the murder.

So now, Luce is at Sword & Cross, a reform school in Savannah, Georgia where she's meeting all sorts of strange people - including Daniel Grigori. Daniel is gorgeous, and Luce is convinced that she knows him from somewhere, but he seems strangely determined to hate her. And then there's Cam, who is sweet and friendly and totally into Luce. She's not sure how to juggle her feelings for Daniel and Cam's feelings for  her, but she is determined to find out why she's so sure she knows Daniel.

I don't think I can say any more than that without giving out spoilers. I wish I'd been able to read the final published copy; I read an ARC that I got back in November, and there are a lot of typos and a couple of sections where there are sentences missing. I kind of felt like that detracted from it, but it was a wonderful story and if you get the chance to read it (the actual published version) you DEFINITELY should. It was so great. I adored it. The sequel, TORMENT, is due out sometime in September, and I will be very eager to read it. :) More info available on author Lauren Kate's website. And here's the pretty cover:

I definitely recommend FALLEN to anyone looking for a great paranormal romance. (I know, I read a lot of those. Get over it.) It was excellent. :)

Hasta luego, internetfolks!
