Apple 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?
The second novel in the addictive FALLEN series...where love never dies.
My Review
My thoughts on the book were kind of disappointed. Fallen was a little bit more upbeat and had me on the edge of my seat. Torment was just the opposite. I like the cliffhanger at the end though. It has me guessing on what is going to happen next to Luce and Daniel, but I was expecting more out of this book. I was happy to a certain degree though that Luce kept putting her foot down and she wanted to find out the truth from her past. I’m also excited that she made new friends in this book. I’m upset though on that Daniel was hiding stuff from her and that Cam didn’t show up much in this book. I must be into the bad boys because I loved Cam in the first book, Fallen. I’m hoping he’ll show up more in the next book. I can’t say I didn’t like the book because I enjoyed reading more about Luce and finding out more about her past lives. I also find it interesting on how strong she has become. I give this book 3 1/2 moons. I love cliffhangers. Makes me anxious for the next book now.
I hope the next book has a little more action though and keeps you guessing. I love Luce, and Daniel together…but give me more Cam too in the next book, and I’ll be a beyond happy reader. =)
I guess I should type a bio here. I'm FranJessca, or Fran for short. I'm the owner/reviewer behind A Book Lovin' Mama's Blog. I've been reading and reviewing books on my blog since leaving the Navy in 2011, and I will keep doing it as long as possible. My favorite genres will always be Romance & Fantasy, and I read every subgenre underneath those two genres. (Sorry, not a fan of nonfiction, so don't try to convince me to read it.)
My obsession with reading started over 30+ years ago when I went to my first Scholastic Book Fair and found R.L. Stine's Fear Street series. Later, I came across Anne Rice's novels at my public library when I was fourteen when my obsession with vampires started. I was the girl who preferred to be a vampire over a princess any day. My husband says I would leave him a heartbeat for a vampire that looked like Spike or Angel (from Buffy the Vampire Slayer) or Damon Salvatore from The Vampire Diaries. (It's true, though, and he's accepted it.)
