Goodreads Summary: There’s something achingly familiar about Daniel Grigori.

Mysterious and aloof, he captures Luce Price’s attention from the moment she sees him on her first day at the Sword & Cross boarding school in sultry Savannah, Georgia. He’s the one bright spot in a place where cell phones are forbidden, the other students are all screw-ups, and security cameras watch every move.

Even though Daniel wants nothing to do with Luce–and goes out of his way to make that very clear–she can’t let it go. Drawn to him like a moth to a flame, she has to find out what Daniel is so desperate to keep secret . . . even if it kills her.

Dangerously exciting and darkly romantic, Fallen is a page turning thriller and the ultimate love story.

An immortal guy who is in love with a girl who dies and comes back every 17 years?  And good and bad fighting for her soul?  It’s been done before.

However, I liked that it’s all because she wasn’t baptized in this life.  I wasn’t expecting that, so it made the novel a lot more interesting.  It does start off slow, and the ending was exciting but a little rushed.

The characters were just okay, and were pretty lackluster.  No one really stood out, and they were pretty typical characters.  Hopefully they’ll liven up and get more interesting in the next book.  I thought the setting of a reform school was interesting, but there was something off about it too.  I loved the descriptions of the school and how old the school was.

I loved the prologue and the epilogue, and I’m hoping we see more of that in the future.

It gets a 4 out of 5.  I really enjoyed it, and hopefully it’ll get a lot more interesting.
