Review Detail

This was quite disappointing after reading Fallen, the first book in the Fallen series. I really liked that, but this book seemed to be lacking in any depth. There are four different tales in this book based around Valentine's day. The first is the Valentine tale of Shelby and Miles; the second, Roland's tale; then Arrianne's story of lost love and lastly, the first time Daniel and Luce spend a Valentine's together. This should have been, and could have been something much more, to whet our appetite and give us a greater insight into these characters. To me it seemed like a bit of a flimsy gimmick where every tale is really a re-hash of the one before.

Won't let it spoil my reading of the rest of the series though. I'll put it down to a small blip in Lauren Kate's thinking.
