The idea of ​​the plot is cliché: the narration can sometimes drive you to despair because it is slow and not very fluid. But with the theme of angels it's fine, I would have liked more development between the two.

I like the third book better, honestly. Still, I'll give it four stars because I love it.

I quite enjoy it at first, but then I got bored and almost never pick the book up again

Surprisingly, I don't get annoyed as much as people do probably when they read the love triangle on this book. I actually quite enjoy it and it does make sense to me because- hey they do falling in love a lot of times and she ends up die anyway so- it does make sense for me when fast love between daniel and luce. Because, this time she remembers something on her previous life. It sounds make sense to me. So, I am not annoyed at all.

For those of you reading this review (which is propably just Nikoleta but whatever), this is not gonna be a review from which you can benefit something, or understand if you'll like this book. This is going to be a pointless review about i how much i hate this book. If you wish for something more helpful, stop reading NOW.


Here we go...i REALLY hate this book. No, wait, i'm not suppose to say that yet. So, let's see what this book is about. This book is about a girl who falls in love with this guy, but can't quite figure out why. Later, she realizes that this guy is her "soulmate" and she has known him, in all her previous lifes. Of course, he is aware of that, because he is an angel.


As you can realise the plot itself is not stupid. Someone could say it is rather good. The whole thing that makes this book ridiculous is the way Lauren Kate "tells" the story. When Luce (the girl) first sees Daniel (the boy) she feels strangely attractive by him. He of course knows who she is and wants to push her away with his behaviour (i'm not going to explane to you why, if you want to know, read a real review). So Daniel, gives her the middle finger. That seems logical to him, but Luce doesn't know that. So instead of her getting pissed of, yelling at him and never speaking to hm again, we see that she hardly even notices his gesture. In fact she keeps drewling over him, for about half the book!


But that's just one particular thing i didn't like hated in this book. The most important thing that i hated, was the fact tha it took for Luce to realise that Daniel is an angel about, well let's see...452 pages. Do you knows how many pages does this book have? 452!!! That's right! She even sees him, getting out of a river with FEATHERS (!) and even then she stills SUSPECTS that he MIGHT be an angel! It didn't bother me that the writer decided to reveal that to us, at the end of the book (that happened in [b:Hush, Hush|6339664|Hush, Hush (Hush, Hush, #1)|Becca Fitzpatrick|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1311064637s/6339664.jpg|6525609] as well, which i really liked). What bothered me was that Lauren Kate had basically already told us the dude was an angel, from the first 50 pages...she just had to make the female character stupid enough to realise that at the end of the fucking book!


Some of the whole bunch of people reading this "review" (yes, that is ironic) may wonder why i gave this book 2 stars, instead of 1 if i hated it so much. (like i did with [b:Shiver|6068551|Shiver (The Wolves of Mercy Falls #1)|Maggie Stiefvater|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1312474550s/6068551.jpg|6244926]). Well, the thing is, that this book is so rediculous that you enjoying making fun of it while reading it. So I may say i hate this book, but the truth is that i hate and love it at the same time :P


That's the reason why i'll be reading the whole series!
