I actually thought this story was different and intriguing. It isn't a masterpiece of literary fiction, but I wasn't expecting that either. The story was original and quite a page turner. I will be reading the rest of the series to see how the characters & the story evolve.

Real rating: 4.5, though I suppose I rounded up.

It was a nice little story. I liked all the characters. I liked the story. It was captivating enough to make me go and buy Torment before I was even finished.

Sad thing...I liked Cam. I thought he was going to turn out to be the poor nice guy whose heart gets broken. Sad day. I still like him, though, even though he's apparently an evil douche. Ah well.

My only issue was how it ended. It was far too open ended for the beginning of a series, IMO. But whatevs. At least I have the sequel in hand.




EDIT AS OF APRIL 25, 2011
Down to three stars, because the more I think about this book, the more and more I dislike it. Ah well.

This book, this series has me in a choke hold. Idc what anyone has to say. There may have been things keeping it from a five star but I read this as a teen a writing this review just remembering and looking back on it.
The romance, what I think opened me to paranormal romance

I wasn't a big fun of the book simply because I personally didn't like the writing style.

This is mostly address to the people who say "they fall in love in two days ew wnfnjskf*
Having read the whole series they don't exactly fall in love immediately. They are connected by fate and the protagonist knew the male lead in all of her life times, yada yada yada, there's no point in analyzing it further tbh.
But yeah I can see why that might be confusing to the people who've only read the first book :)

Mi principal motivación a leer este libro fue que Jeremy Irvine es parte de su adaptación al cine y no quería ir a ver la pelicula sin tener idea de que trataba el libro.

Empece a leer y estaba como oh, interesante pero tambien era un poco confuso y no entendía nada excepto que a la protagonista la dejaron botada en un instituto; aunque ella es medio emo, solitaria y nostálgica y se viste de negro, y de alguna manera consiguió que los dos tipos mas atractivos del internado estuvieran interesados en ella.

Estuve confundida durante gran parte del libro y algún punto me di cuenta que era sobre ángeles caídos y ya no me gusto. Simplemente no entiendo el interés de las personas por los ángeles en general. Quiero decir, no entiendo muchas de las cosas que le gustaron a las personas que leyeron este libro antes de mi. Como por ejemplo, el amor instantáneo entre Luce y Daniel, yo sé que se supone que van a estar juntos pero no deberían hacer algo tan apresurado, deberían tener el tiempo suficiente como para volver a enamorarse de nuevo.

Aunque sí me gusto el comienzo, con el misterio y la intriga. Y siguiendo a la protagonista tratando de averiguar sobre el internado y los personajes secundarios como Penn o Cam, que hicieron emocionante el pasar de las paginas. Y los pocos momentos en que Daniel y Luce hablaban y se sentía como el comienzo de una relación.
