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.
Booklist (08/01/2012):
Grades 8-11 Lucifer has bent time in order to erase history and return the world to the point of the angels’ original dismissal from heaven. Star-crossed celestial lovers Luce and Daniel have only nine days to unravel a 7,000-year-old mystery that will keep history intact and also break the curse that prevents their being together. Kate’s theatrical language may not appeal to every reader, but there are some Indiana Jonesworthy action sequences and a satisfying emotional conclusion in this final book of the popular Fallen trilogy.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2012, American Library Association.)
Voice of Youth Advocates (10/01/2012):
Exquisitely beautiful girl meets divinely handsome, gentle, and protective boy who turns out to be an actual angel. The two fall instantly and completely in love. Girl dies. Girl is reborn in another century and meets the same boy once more with the same result, again and again and again. Lucinda and Daniel are obviously meant to be together forever, but what is the price of eternal devotion? Luce and Daniel must battle Lucifer himself in order to continue their wondrous love. Angels of all types join the two in searching for ancient artifacts that will enable them to stop Lucifer from recreating the Fall, a disaster that would end the civilized world. In the fifth and final book of the series, Luce continues her slow recovery of memories from the beginning of her existence and is stunned by the truth she discovers.
Each book in the series has built up to this revelation, and each character divulges his or her role. Kate brings everything to a nail biting yet poignant conclusion in which enemies become friends and friends will sacrifice whatever it takes in this ultimate battle between good and evil. She succeeds in providing a splendid supernatural romance without too much gore, guts, or gruesomeness and even provides a lighthearted epilogue.Pam Carlson.4Q 4P S
