London Falling by Chanel Cleeton
5.0
Chanel Cleeton seriously surprised me with the first book in the International School series, I See London, but that was nothing compared to London Falling. London Falling was everything I could have wanted in a sequel and it left me with the biggest smile on my face.
The cast of characters from the first book is back and better than ever. Maggie has grown more confident in herself but she still has her small town charm. She’s still a bit clueless when it comes to some things (which I loved) but she’s changed a lot from the scared girl at the beginning of I See London. Samir has also changed a ton. He’s no longer the cocky manwhore from book one. He’s still cocky as ever but he’s set his sights on one girl and one girl only. Watching him put forth a real effort to get Maggie was great. He’s definitely a guy who has always had things handed to him so it was good to see him work for something. He and Maggie really were perfect for each other. Their differences were enough to keep things interesting between the two of them but they had enough in common that they never ran out of things to banter about. Their banter was seriously adorable. As for the rest of the characters, I think Fleur was my favorite. Fleur was cocky and kind of cold in the first book. She is nothing like that in London Falling. Readers really get a glimpse of the vulnerable side of Fleur this time around and it left me hoping that she will get her own book soon.
The story was nothing spectacular or pulse pounding but it was enough to keep my attention. The different settings throughout the course of the book really helped move things along. If you’re a fan of travel in your books, the International School series is definitely perfect for you. I’d also definitely recommend this one if you are a fan of steamy romances! Samir and Maggie have some amazing chemistry that makes from some definitely sexytimes.
Overall, I really have no complaints about London Falling. I can’t recommend this duology enough for new adult fans. I look forward to reading more from Chanel Cleeton especially if it centers around any of the characters from these books.
