Books are my life... discussion

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.

Dangerously exciting and darkly romantic, Fallen is a page turning thriller and the ultimate love story.

Torment by Lauren Kate

How many lives do you need to live before you find someone worth dying for? In the aftermath of what happened at Sword & Cross, Luce has been hidden away by her cursed angelic boyfriend, Daniel, in a new school filled with Nephilim, the offspring of fallen angels and humans. Daniel promises she will be safe here, protected from those who would kill her. At the school Luce discovers what the Shadows that have followed her all her life mean - and how to manipulate them to see into her other lives. Yet the more Luce learns about herself, the more she realizes that the past is her only key to unlocking her future...and that Daniel hasn't told her everything. What if his version of the past isn't actually the way things happened...what if Luce was really meant to be with someone else?

Thanks :)

I Loved the Book, I picked it up looked at the cover art then read the back, walked to the counter and paid for it. It was a great story

I'm looking forward to reading it, I just haven't had the time to yet.

This was my second read in 2010. It was a really great book and the author opened it up very well for the next story. I'm dying to know what happens next!

ugh the book got taken away from me!!!

i noooooooooooooooo

Just finished this book earlier today, really liked it and am looking foward to reading the next one.

I LOVED IT!!!!

If your liked this one you might also like Hush Hush if you haven't read it yet.

Reading it right now- which one is better Fallen or Hush Hush?

I liked Hush Hush the most, but that's just my opinion.

I have not read Fallen but I really really liked Hush Hush! I recommend it To everyone.

Yeah I like Fallen so far, but the main girl seems so weak and helpless- I need a little more umph/fiestiness from her- jmo...But I have heard good things about Hush Hush.

I definietly suggest you read it, it was really good.

so I finished Fallen last night- it was pretty good- now intrigued about the next one...

Ya it kind of leaves you on a hiffhanger.

I think it's better too

Yeah Fallen was ok- I didn't think it was Awesome or anything... didn't really connect with the characters yet...

The cover to the next book has been released

So excited to read torment!!!

Me too, there were so many things that you didn't find out in Fallen. I hope we get some answerstje all the unanswered questions from the first book.

Ya same here i'm excited

I just found this summary on goodreads and after reading it, I am more excited for the book to be released!!

I really want to read this one but unfortunately my library doesn't have so I will eventually have to buy it to read it.

Ya my library has nothing, I have to buy all the books I want to read or borrow them.

my librarys ya section is really bad they barely get any new releases but we were lucky to get this one!!! i wasnt so sure with the description but when i saw it on the shelf i decided to check it out maybe TRY to read it.....riiiight i was hooked from the first chapter!! simply amazing the first part of the book was slow(ish) but not boring and the end o my gosh the end id better not get started on it or ill never shut up :P anyway fun and interesting charcters that i felt like i knew (as weird as it sounds :P)by hte end! I CANNOT WAIT FOR TORMENT!!!

I was disappointed by this book, i don't think i'll read the second one. =(

Awww): I liked it..but I expected it to be better, the way everyone talks about it! But I guess Ill read the second one since the 1st one was pretty good.

I agree, I liked it, but it wasn't amazing for me. I think the hyp was a little bigger than it should have been.

EXACTLY!

I came across this today: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3VJrs_...

Are you liking the second one so far? I'm looking forward to reading it once I get a chance.

yeah so far its good, the 2nd book is mostly about her finding out about her past lives.

Ya that's kind of what I expected.

really? i like Torment just a little better than Fallen, maybe its because it didnt really bore me. But i am happy to say i finished it and cant wait till the third one.

AWESOME BOOK

i agree

But did you like it at all?

the 2nd book, yes i like, the only thing i dislike is the ending because its of those ending that keav you hanging and u have to wait till the third book to know what happens next.

They always do that, it kind of drives me nuts sometimes. I also don't like when they feel they need to do a whole recap of what happened in the last book for the whole first chapter.

right! I soo agree with you!
