My Review of the Fallen Series by Lauren Kate

The Covers of each book of Lauren Kate's, "The Fallen Series."

     The Fallen series by Lauren Kate is a series I discovered in my high school career and also one that I recently finished only last weekend. Now, due to silly delays and distractions I didn't get to finish this series as early as I'd hoped, but once I finished the last book I can happily admit that I'm glad I finished the series as late as I did. Now, there will be no spoilers towards this series if you read my review, only my sincerest hope that you pick up this series as soon as you possibly can because it is not to be missed! This fiction series takes place in a world of the supernatural (what this entails I refuse to reveal because it's definitely worth the surprise) and is by no means a story of a girl who is simply trying to impress "the school hottie."

     I'll begin my formal review with the summary for the first book (so as to avoid spoilers completely) :

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 all 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.

     Here as well, is the trailer for the first book. I provide this for your pleasure if the summary has already intrigued you: Fallen By Lauren Kate

     In my teen years I quickly found out that the genre of "teen romance" wasn't entirely my thing (with the release of the Twilight series especially) but Lauren Kate's Fallen series is certainly not limited to a simple love tale. 

     Instead, Lauren Kate weaves together a thoroughly interesting story with a very fresh take on a romance set in a world of the supernatural. Lucinda Price is a very relatable and realistic protagonist who is in constant pursuit of Daniel Grigori's secrets, which ultimately drives the story to reveal it's very interesting plot. Along the way Lucinda meets a batch of colorful and charmingly unique characters who seem to hold secrets of their own.

     Overall, Lauren Kate's series is a thoroughly interesting read and will have you turning page after page, desperate to follow Lucinda as she unravels the mystery of Daniel Grigori. Admittedly I will say that this book series has easily earned its place as one of my favorites, so I highly recommend this wonderful read to each and every one of you!
