Fallen by Lauren Kate chapters 1-16

I totally love this book, its amazing. Luce has had a rough life constantly haunted by the shadows those dangerous shadows, that has she gets older take a sinister turn, that ends up with her boyfriend Trevor dying in a fire at camp, but Luce doesn't know how or what happened, after being accused of his death she gets sent to Sword and Cross reform schoool, where on her first day she realises life will never be the same again but is unsure as to why. She meets Arrienne who seems to be amazingly crazy, she gives Luce a back ground information setting to the school, that Luce is unsure of how to take. Then her eyes fall upon a gorgeous boy, who at first smiles and then insults her by flipping her the finger, though this was very wrong it made her more interested, her first day is hell which involves Molly and an incident with meatloaf. The more people she meets the more she realises that this school is never going to be the same again.
She then meets Penn who isn't actually a reform kid but attends the school as her dad used to be the land keeper of the school until he died, and now she doesn't want to move away as this is the only place she feels close to her dad.
The girls attend Cam's undercover party, which seems to have every student there excep poor Todd who was collar by the teacher at the social event, Luce starts to enjoy her self but keeps her eyes on Daniel the guy who flipped a finger at her on her first day, she follows him out of Cam's room and over hears a conversation he is having with Gabbe that makes it seem as tho they are both together which makes Luce feel ill.
After a killer early morning fitness session Penn offers to help Luce find out about Daniel, later they go to the file room and look into his notes which says very little about him, other than the fact he's in the reform school for jay walking and other smalll crimes hardly worth him being in there, there is nothing on his family life and according to his notes he is an orphane. The two almost get court by miss Sophia, who is carrying down huge boxes, Luce escapes but Penn stays she can get away with being in the restricted room, it is there that she finds more information out about the new arrivals. What she finds obviously means something that Luce, Gabbe and Cam all came from the same kind of area but Todd, further more adding to the strangeness Daniel, Arrienne and Molly turned up for the same area too on the same day.
Luce knows it means something but she can't put together what, as Penn and Luce extend there search, Penn find a book written by a D.Grigori it has to be a realtion to Daniel and they have to find that book, the only thing is its meant to be in the library but its gone missing, as Penn leaves Luce to ask Miss Sophia about it thick smoke appears almost from nowhere and Luce realises the library it on fire, on her escape she bumps into Todd, the pair try to escape the burning building via the fire escape, the walls seem to be closing in on them, then they break through to the stairs, thats when all hell breaks loose, Luce falls down the stairs and the next thing she knows Daniel has her in his arms kissing her gently wrappping his wings around her, wings she's seen the outside of or a reflection of before. She wakes up in hospital with Gabbe doing her nails, and Arrienne Penn's there too being supportive, as the police come to ask her questions about the fire and about Todd's death, Randy scoots all the kids out of the room and then brings in a punch of peonies from Daniel, her favourite flowers but how did he know there were and where did he get them from.
Back at Sword and Cross things get better but more confusing as Cam becomes more demanding of her attention, and then a fight breaks out between Daniel and Cam that blows her mind, makes her realise that she has to stop whatever Cam thinks is going on and tell him that Daniel is the only one for her. But is Cam really what he makes out to be as a black sudan picks Luce up she questions herself on if she should really go, but find herself on the way to a run down shack of the bar run by a bloke who doesn't seem to mind his underage drinkers, again Cam starts another fight with a oily meaty old man, Luce runs away and is saved by Daniel, who just happens to know exactly where she is, they drive to a beach and chat and end up kissing, more than that Daniel seems very surprised she is still there after he has kissed her. The following day she meets Cam in the cemertry to tell him to leave her alone she wants only Daniel, she tells him about the kiss and he says he won't let her go until she kisses him against her best will she kisses him in hope to get away from him, Daniel and Gabbe turn up to sort out the problem, Gabbe fights Cam as Daniel and Luce move away to talk, about the past the very distatnt past, Daniel is immortal and every 17 years he meets luce they fall in love and then she gets taken away as in dies, so over the years Daniel has started to protect himself but it always happens the same, the thing is now he's kissed her and she's still alive he doesn't understand it and neither does she, its a lot to take in and understand.
