Fallen Series by Lauren Kate
The covers to this series are beautiful, and caught my eye the first time several years ago when I picked up the first one.
Synopsis:
#1 Fallen
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.
#2 Torment
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?
#3 Passion
Luce would die for Daniel.
And she has. Over and over again. Throughout time, Luce and Daniel have found each other, only to be painfully torn apart: Luce dead, Daniel left broken and alone. But perhaps it doesn’t need to be that way. . . .
Luce is certain that something—or someone—in a past life can help her in her present one. So she begins the most important journey of this lifetime . . . going back eternities to witness firsthand her romances with Daniel . . . and finally unlock the key to making their love last.
Cam and the legions of angels and Outcasts are desperate to catch Luce, but none are as frantic as Daniel. He chases Luce through their shared pasts, terrified of what might happen if she rewrites history.
Because their romance for the ages could go up in flames . . . forever.

My thoughts
I struggled getting into the first book, but it grabbed me, and I wanted to keep reading. The second book was again hard to get into at the beginning. You had to learn new faces, new places, etc. which bothered me but eventually the writer came back to why I liked the first book. The third book dragged a little at first but soon I was sucked in again to Luce and Daniel's world, but I really was hoping that was the last book, and came up empty. Guess I will have to wait for another to finish this series? Don't get me wrong, I liked it overall, just felt like she dragged it out with this last one.
This series is worth a read, I would put the age group 15+, so far the author has kept it clean for the most part. There is violence, intense scenes-and too much angst for me sometimes. :p
