Dangerously exciting and darkly romantic, Fallen by Lauren Kate is a page turning thriller and the ultimate love story. There's something achingly familiar about Daniel Grigori. Mysterious and aloof, he captures Luce Price's attention from the moment she sees him on her first day at the Sword & Cross boarding school in sultry Savannah, Georgia. He's the one bright spot in a place where cell phones are forbidden, the other students are all screw-ups, and security cameras watch every move.

Her new reform school, to be precise.   She was still getting used to the term.   "Could you, uh, could you repeat that?" she asked the attendant. "What was it, meds--?"   "Well, look what the storm blew in," the attendant said loudly, then continued, enunciating slowly: "Meds.
