Hey, teen eReaders, we've got a good one for you: Fallen by Lauren Kate. In this darkly romantic supernatural tale, the beautiful Lucinda (Luce) Price is enrolled in conservative reform school (no cell phones, no Internet) after surviving a fire that took the life of her close friend. In this repressive atmosphere, she finds herself drawn to the mysterious and utterly aloof Daniel Grigori, a fellow student. As she battles the evil, terrifying shadows that seem to appear wherever she goes, Luce is determined to find out the secret Daniel is keeping.
Dangerously exciting, Fallen is a page-turning thriller and the ultimate love story.
