Fallen Series

A story of star-crossed lovers takes an incredible turn in this dark and intense series from Lauren Kate. While this series has been heavily criticized, it is impossible to ignore the intriguing premise of the plot. The story is centred on Luce, female protagonist, while she is drawn into a world of fallen angels, finding love and making enemies in the process. Admittedly, the love story of this series is not overly unique. However, the intensity and chemistry Kate creates between Luce and her love interest, Daniel, adds a captivating dynamic to the story. Furthermore, Kate's slow burning prose makes for a more interactive and pleasurable read, completely immersing her readers into her world before throwing you into the action, drama and love-triangle dilemmas. Kate's more simplistic writing style and the milder themes across the series makes this series a perfect read for younger teens looking to step away from childish novels and foray into the world of young adult fantasy. This five-book series has most recently been adapted into a film of the same name, however, make sure you check out these fantastic novels before you hit the cinema.
