A Colloquy on Books

Beware of the spoilers to  Fallen  and Torment that lurk beyond this message... Luce would die for Daniel. In fact, she has. Over and over again. Over hundreds of years Luce and Daniel have shared the same fate: They meet, they fall for one another, Luce dies, and Daniel is left alone, broken, and grieving. But maybe there is a solution to this, a way to stop the cycle from repeating itself, a way for them to be together with Luce dying. Luce is sure that her past lives hold the information that she needs to break the cycle once and for all. So, Luce sets off on a journey of many lifetimes. She is going back through the years to see her past with Daniel and to find the key to making their love last. But it may be more dangerous than she realizes as Cam and the Outcasts are hunting her. No one is looking for Luce harder than Daniel because he knows that if Luce manages to rewrite their history together, the love that they share could go up in flames.  This is the first bo...

Beware of the spoilers to Fallen that lurk beyond this message... Hell on Earth. That is what Luce feels when she has to stay away from her boyfriend, Daniel, who happens to be a fallen angel. Even though it took the two of them an eternity to find each other, he still says that he has to go away from her. Daniel wants to keep her safe from the Outcasts, a group of immortals who want to kill Luce. In order to keep her safe, Daniel drops Luce off at Shoreline, a school for Nephilim, the children of fallen angels and humans. There on the California coastline, Luce learns about Shadows and how to use them. As she learns a little more about her previous lives she realizes that Daniel may not be telling her the truth. He is definitely hiding something and that may change everything that Luce knows about their relationship.   This is not my first time reading Torment, however I read it quite a few years ago and could not remember much from it. The main thing that I recalled from th...

Luce Price can’t take her eyes off of Daniel Grigori. There is something about him that is achingly familiar. He is mysterious and the one bright spot at Sword and Cross, the boarding school in Georgia, that may as well be a prison. What else would you call a place where no cell phones are allowed, security cameras watch the students' every move, and the students are all screw-ups? Daniel has made it clear that he wants nothing to do with Luce but she is unable to let him go. Much like a moth that is drawn to a flame, Luce needs to find out what Daniel is hiding, even if she loses her life in the process.  This is my second time reading Fallen but the first time that I am writing a review about it. Before I do review it however, I do want to say that this book does have religious undertones to it which I will not be commenting on. The only things that I will be talking about is the storyline. I thought the concept of this story was interesting. I have never heard of any other story...

Vee has always been behind the scenes. Whether it be the costume and makeup artist for her school’s plays or the shadow to her best friend, Sydney, Vee is comfortable away from the spotlight. Vee decides to play Nerve, the game of dares, but she isn’t sure if she’s cut out for it. But Nerve knows exactly how to keep her playing, tempting her with amazing prizes, the shoes she wanted, a hot partner, and much much more. Her partner, Ian, gives her the courage that she needs to keep going but the game is slowly getting deadlier and deadlier. How far will Vee go to win those prizes? Is she willing to put her own life at risk to win everything that her heart has desired? Let me start by saying, I watched the movie before I read the book. Actually when I watched the movie I had no idea that there was a book. A couple weeks ago, I was browsing in the library when Nerve caught my eye. So I picked it up and decided to give it a shot. The first thing that you are probably wondering is: was the b...
