Torment
by Lauren Kate
The title says it all. Poor Luce and Daniel are in torment pretty much the entire book. During this installment of the Fallen series, Luce is struggling to uncover her past lives and figure out where her and Daniel's relationship stands. When Daniel leaves Luce at her new school, Shoreline, with very little explanation other than "it's for your protection," she is surrounded by questions and very little answers. With the help of her new Nephilim friends, Luce sets out to discover her past and to learn why Daniel is shutting her out.
I have to say I liked where Kate took Luce and Daniel's relationship in this book. It was refreshing to see a more realistic relationship between the two. We are so used to reading the whole boy meets girl and they fall head over heels in love and nothing can tear them apart storyline. But, how real is that? In real life that's not the case most of the time. Real relationships have ups and downs. Even though this story has fantasy elements (ie. angels, demons, etc.) the rocky relationship made it feel more believable. That element made Luce and Daniel relatable and drew me into their story more.
I really enjoyed this book. Torment has one heck of a cliffhanger. I can't wait to read Passion!
~4.5/5~
