Fallen by Lauren Kate

There’s something achingly familiar about Daniel Grigori.
Mysterious and aloof, he captures Luce Price’s attention from the moment she sees him on her first day at the Sword & Cross boarding school in sultry Savannah, Georgia. He’s the one bright spot in a place where cell phones are forbidden, the other students are all screw-ups, and security cameras watch every move.

Even though Daniel wants nothing to do with Luce–and goes out of his way to make that very clear–she can’t let it go. Drawn to him like a moth to a flame, she has to find out what Daniel is so desperate to keep secret . . . even if it kills her.



Fallen is quite unlike any other book i've read before. Luce, the troubled girl and Daniel, the mysteriously familiar stanger; lifes entwined by a terrifing destiny.      
Throughtout the book there is an air of mystery and danger. The "school" is described more like an assylum, a school thats full of rules and dark empty corridors adds to the secrecy of the place. The troubled students all have dark secrets which are never revealed, the real reasons they're in the school.  The book is quite slow at the beguining which pulls you deeply into the story, letting you know and understand the characters. Leading you to think of your own accusations and suspisions. When you think you have it all figured out the book speeds up, twisting and turning the plot to leave you with a shocking and amazing ending.
I absolutely love how Lauren Kate pulld you into the story. Although the beguining is slow there is such a mystery you just can't stop reading.
