Fallen by Lauren Kate-Parent book review


Quick Facts
  • Author-Lauren Kate
  • Pages-452
  • Genre-Urban Fantasy/Angels
  • Series-Fallen book 1
  • Age-11 to 17
Fallen is about a teenager girl, Luce, who is sent a away to a boarding school after something bad has happened with a boy she was dating from her school. You don’t know what happened until much later in the book. Luce also sees shadows, which she realizes not everyone else sees, this secret is getting more and more difficult to keep from everyone else. While at the boarding school she meets a boy named Danielle who she feels she has met before, if only she could remember where. Fallen has a mystery about it as the answers to the questions above are revealed. Overall I enjoyed Fallen, though the lack of action made it seem a little slow in the middle of the book. There is a little romance as Luce and Danielle become friendlier, but not more than a kiss. The language is fine and there is very little violence until the end, and it is not graphic. No real life lessons in Fallen, but still an enjoyable read that will be mainly enjoyed by girls.
