Fallen
Lucinda Price is a new student at a reform school in
Georgia. She was sent there due to past events where her boyfriend died under
suspicious circumstances in a fire. She carries the guilt, as she cannot
explain what happened. She blames the shadows that follow her around
everywhere. She meets Daniel, and Luce is immediately drawn to him of reasons
she cannot explain. It is like she has seen him before, but where and when?
“Sexy, fascinating, and scary” is written the cover of this
book by P. C. Cast. When reading this novel I did not come across any of these.
It is rather sad as I was looking forward to something new. There are too many
books circulating out there with vampires and werewolves, and whatever. But this
book promised fallen angels, however, I had not expected ‘this’ kind of fallen
angels. But we are picture something different in our heads.
I did not see any serious character development, as Luce
just could not make up her mind. Daniel keeps leading her on, then suddenly he
disappears on her, and she starts stalking him because she is obsessed.
Another dislike of mine is that is seems that the book is
divided into 2 parts. The first part is the 2/3 of the book where nothing really
happens, and no explanation for anything. Then we have the last part, which
sadly is only 1/3 of the book, where everything happens and it happens so
quickly. Simply too quickly for my liking. Everyone around her knows about her
and her past. All the people from the school that is mentioned in the book are
a fallen angel or know about it.
Maybe it is because this book is the first in the series
that I have so many unanswered questions. The story could be good if there were
some changes to it.
