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.
Even though Daniel wants nothing to do with Luce--and goes out of his way to make that very clear--she can't let it go. Drawn to him like a moth to a flame, she has to find out what Daniel is so desperate to keep secret . . . even if it kills her.
For me, this was an okay book. Not bad, probably predictable, but not bad. There's always those books that you love-to-death, ones you really like and ones you hate. Then there are books you don't feel passionately about either way. Just okay. This was that book for me.
I did enjoy her writing, specially her descriptions in romantic scenes, but I was lacking interest for some reason. The plot was slow, which sometimes is not a bad thing; but in my opinion if it's a paranormal romance you need to speed it up a little, pour some action into it. The characters were good, again not great, but good. The cover is gorgeous, I love it.
In overall, it is an enjoyable book, specially for those supernatural or the "fallen angels" fans, but not too memorable. I'm hoping she'll write a wonderful sequel to make this one worthwhile.

I'm torn about whether or not to add this to my wishlist, I've seen a few so-so reviews but then others rave! Thanks for your honest review :)
Wow I was so shocked when I saw three stars. Your review is the first review I have read with a rating for this book less than 5 stars. Its kind of refreshing in a way. Thanks for the honest review!!!

I have this for review too - I like the honesty of your review :)
I'm going to try it and hope it works more for me although if it is slow, then it probably won't. The cover is gorgeous though.
Very well said. I enjoyed her writing style. I thought the plot was a bit too slow, especially the first half of the book. Hopefully the next book is way better.
The cover's author is Brazilian.
