So I don't really feel like going into a great bunch of detail, I'm just really frustrated with blogger right now so I will just give a summary of whats in it. It's the second in a series, the first is called Fallen. It has fallen angels, curses, Outcasts, and Nephilim. Basically this girl Luce has to live and die over and over again decade after decade until she is seventeen. At that time when this Fallen angel kisses her, Daniel, she explodes and the whole process starts again. In the first she finds out about all this and then someone almost kills her. So in the second one she is moved by the angels to a school for Nephilim so she can be better protected. Daniel and Cam (a dark fallen angel/demon) made a truce to try and kill as many of Luce's enemies in eighteen days as possible. at this new school of hers she is a celebrity, all the nephilim kids have heard the romantic story of Luce and Daniel. It's almost like a fairy tale or bedtime story to them. While there Luce learns how to glimpse at her past lives but it's very dangerous not to mention forbidden. She also makes some good friends, although one might just be falling for her and she starts wondering what life would be like without Daniel and with this other boy instead. And at the end there is another big battle were people try to kill Luce but this time she does something really unexpected that has left me waiting impatiently for the next one.

I really like these covers too. They are really smooth almost like a leather feeling and they are thick. And oh my god they have that new book smell!! My favorite part about the covers is the girls' dress, it is just so pretty and I want one just like it.
