Book Review: Fallen

Synopsis: 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. (Courtesy of B&N.com)

I finally jumped on the Fallen train. I'd heard it was a good book and the cover always caught my attention, but I hadn't persued it until recently.

I liked the storyline of a reincarnated angel that never remembered her past lives, even though her lover did. There were some great twists and turns in the story that kept it interesting.

The characters were well described and likeable. The writing evoked emotions and the plot was captivating.

I will continue to read this series, and I would recommend this book. It just didn't have that great grasp for me that some other books have.

I give Fallen a 4 on the beam scale.
