The Blurb : 

Hell on earth. That's what it's like for Luce to be apart from her fallen angel boyfriend, Daniel. It took them an eternity to find one another, but now he has told her he must go away. Just long enough to hunt down the Outcasts - immortals who want to kill Luce. Daniel hides Luce at Shoreline, a school on the rocky California coast with unusually gifted students -Nephilim, the offspring of fallen angels and humans.
At Shoreline, Luce learns what the Shadows are, and how she can use them as windows to her previous lives. Yet the more Luce learns, the more she suspects that Daniel hasn't told her everything. He's hiding something - something dangerous. What if Daniel's version of the past isn't actually true? What if Luce is really meant to be with someone else? The second novel in the addictive FALLEN series . . . where love never dies.

My Review : 

I was pretty busy and distracted while reading this so l probably didn't give it all the time this book deserved which is why l can't say this book 'gripped me'. I have to say one of the disappointments in this book was not seeing much of Daniel's side of things, l really enjoyed that in 'Fallen'. Because of the lack of Daniel, for me, Lauren really had to bring some new characters in this book and she did exactly that, l loved all of the new characters. I especially loved what Miles brought to the book.

The plot, like Fallen, wasn't the most action packed book which made it not the best page turner l have read lately. Even without the action Lauren has managed to write an intriguing book with a few twists in where the main characters Luce grows.
After putting this book down l can't wait for the 3rd book, 'Passion' to be released, it has been left on a cliff hanger with so many possibility for what Passion will contain.
