"One HELL of an epic paranormal romance!"

Fresh Fiction Review

Rapture
Lauren Kate

Reviewed by Lyn Nicholas
Posted October 5, 2012

Young Adult

This time around, Luce is definitely getting more than she bargained for. RAPTURE is a flurry of action and emotion all rolled up into one gorgeous book package. The story contained within is definitely the most epic supernatural tale I have ever found in a young adult series.

Heaven and Hell, angels and demons, God and Lucifer. This book has it all! And so so much more.

The most notable staple of this series is the absolutely timeless love story. If you adore those meant-to-be-come-hell-or-high-water kind of love stories, than this series is the one for you. The high tension love triangle will keep you on your toes and the conclusion will blow you away. Oftentimes, I'm disappointed with the end story when a love triangle is involved. Not this time! I'm in love with the way each individual story came to an end.

The Fallen series has some of the best and most intricately written secondary characters. I dare say that I have come to love them just as much as the main characters. But beware! There are some major surprises that take place in this thrilling finale. I won't spoil it for you, but trust me, the end of this book is heart-wrenching. In fact, the entire book is one constant torrent of emotions.

In conclusion, I'm enthralled by this series and the world that Lauren Kate has created. Although you certainly could start with this book, I very highly recommend reading the entire series starting with the first book, Fallen. And if you have read the others but haven't gotten a copy of RAPTURE yet, you should go out and find yourself a copy now!

SUMMARY

RAPTURE, the fourth & final FALLEN novel, is the Lauren Kate book the world has been waiting for.

The sky is dark with wings. . . .

Like sand through an hourglass, time is running out for Luce and Daniel. To stop Lucifer from erasing the past, they must find the place where the angels fell to earth.

Dark forces are after them, and Daniel doesn’t know if he can do this—live only to lose Luce again and again. Yet together they face an epic battle that will end with lifeless bodies . . . and angel dust. Great sacrifices are made. Hearts are destroyed.

And suddenly Luce knows what must happen. For she was meant to be with someone other than Daniel. The curse they’ve borne has always and only been about her—and the love she cast aside. The choice she makes now is the only one that truly matters. In the fight for Luce, who will win?

The astonishing conclusion to the FALLEN series. Heaven can’t wait any longer.
