Passion by Lauren Kate

In the third novel of the Fallen series, Luce is traveling through her past lives to discover the key to ending Daniel's curse, and making their love last. Daniel and Luce's friends frantically chase Luce through time,terrified of what might happen if she rewrites history.

This was a very easy read and moving through different time periods kept my interest most of the time. However, I did feel the story could have moved along a little faster in the middle. The final book Rapture will be out in Spring 2012.

Torment by Lauren Kate

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?

I had some mixed emotions on this one, but in the end it turned out well. I will definitely be reading the third book, Passion, coming out in Summer 2011.

Fallen by Lauren Kate

Lucinda Price has seen shadows for as long as she can remember. For the most part, they leave her alone, just hanging around and being menacing. One night, she is spending time with a boy she likes and notices the shadows creeping closer. A fire takes his life that night and Luce can't remember any details of that night. She is sent to Sword & Cross, a reform school. There, she meets Daniel Grigori, a gorgeous guy who is hostile towards her though he doesn't even know her. Despite his antisocial behavior to her, Luce finds herself drawn to him. Then she notices that the shadows tend to stay away whenever he is near and Luce begins a chain of events that will change her life forever.

A fabulous story! Watch for the next book in the series, Torment, coming out October 2010. BTW, Lauren Kate's site http://www.fallenbooks.com is super cool and gives you 'access' to the files of the students at Sword & Cross. AND I just read that Disney has optioned the film rights!
