Friday Finds hosted by Should Be Reading asks us to share what great books we heard about or discovered in the past week. While there are many I could post about I always pick one of my favorites.
This week’s find is a book called Fallen by Lauren Kate which I found on Fantastic Fiction. However it is being released by Delacorte Books on December 8, 2009. Not only do I think it sounds great – I don’t know why but I love books that take place in boarding schools, it also has a fantastically dark cover which I love! Here’s a bit about the book from Fantastic Fiction…
Seventeen-Year-Old Luce is a new student at Sword & Cross, an unwelcoming boarding/reform school in Savannah, Georgia. Luce’s boyfriend died under suspicious circumstances, and now she carries the guilt over his death with her as she navigates the unfriendly halls at Sword & Cross, where every student seems to have an unpleasant – even evil – history.
It’s only when she sees Daniel, a gorgeous fellow student, that Luce feels there’s a reason to be here – though she doesn’t know what it is. And Daniel’s frosty cold demeanor toward her? It’s really a protective device that he’s used again . . . and again. For Daniel is a fallen angel, doomed to fall in love with the same girl every 17 years . . . and watch her die. And Luce is a fellow immortal, cursed to be reincarnated again and again as a mortal girl who has no idea of who she really is.
Looks like this might be a must read for me. How about you – what did you find this week?
This book sounds good! I should consider participating FF.
Wow, I have seen the cover around but first now read a blurb and it sounds great
Wow, sounds good! Great Find 🙂
That would be my FF if I were participating. Sounds great, thanks for the blurb!
This certainly does sound like a good book, and this one I probably would not have picked up. Thanks for sharing it Dar!
Great find, Dar…it sounds great!
That is a great cover!
And sounds like a good story too!
I like it. This book is calling out to me.
Interesting cover. Here's my Friday Find, a new Sue Grafton mystery.
I saw Scott Westerfeld talk about his new book Leviathan last night, and it sounds fantastic! That would be my find for this week.
Sounds like a very interesting read, great find :0)
I totally love boarding school themes too Dar. Great Find.
This looks like a great read! I love the cover.
I like books set in boarding schools too!! Could be the whole Harry Potter thing and how I think it would've been cool to go away somewhere for school!!
Great find, and beautiful cover!
