Lucinda is sure that she and Daniel are meant to be together forever. Now they are forced apart in a desperate bid to save Luce from the Outcasts–immortals who want her dead. As she discovers more about her past lives, Luce starts to suspect that Daniel is hiding something. What if he has lied to her about their shared past? What if Luce is really meant to be with someone else?
Oh holy hannah did I love this book! I'm really not sure if it's just because it was a great story with tons of fun and a giant mystery, or that it's just *my* kind of book, but honestly, I don't care. It was awesome. One of those I-want-to-go-live-in-there kind of books. I really enjoyed the first book in the series (Fallen) but this one is not only better written, but the pacing and characterization is much more developed. Kate fills in the details slowly, and the book is set in Fort Bragg (props for a NorCal setting--that always won some bonus points for me--I love that area of Cali and wish I lived up there, well, minus the considerable amount of pot smoking that kind of rules that area :), which is a lovely, creepy atmosphere for the story she tells. There are some seriously big questions that get left unanswered here, but I'm not exactly complaining--I think the next book (Passion, which I don't honestly think I can wait til next summer for, waah!) will fill in nicely. Oh, and this time around, Kate finally fills in a battle scene, which was something I felt very cheated about in the first book. Overall, go read this one!
Okay, this is a totally rambling review, but I can't help it. Totally loved it, and now I'm kicking myself that I decided not to drive to Frisco to see her on launch day. Grr. Grad school really needs to stop interfering with my life... :)
