I always like a good book about angels & demons, and it had okay reviews on Goodreads, plus I liked the cover, so when I saw this book in a used bookstore I had to get it.
It took me a while to get to it and when I finally got to it I was fairly disappointed. I really didn’t see all the hype about this book (I heard the making or made a movie based on the book).
I really liked the idea and concept of the book but not the book itself. I know it is a YA and most of the time I have no problem reading YA but this book made me want to smack Luci all the time. She seemed naïve and very immature and there was way too much teenage angst in this book, even for a YA.

Relatively painless YA romance. Not the best, but hey, I finished it in a day, and it passed the time.

I saw a lot of people in the reviews comparing this book to twilight so I thought that I would love it because twilight is a comfort book of mine, but this book wasn’t it for me. The main characters immense obsession with Daniel is just creepy and even though it’s explained later in the book the entire thing about it was just meh. I definitely won’t remember this book tomorrow because overall it was just very forgettable for me.

Pretty good, I liked it, but it got kind of confusing in some parts.

I thought this book was okay. I could kinda see what Kate was trying to do, making it mysterious but at the same time hinting at the truth, but it was quite obvious to me a mile off who was good and who was bad and what was going on really. I felt like it was just slowly slowly slowly building for ages and there wasn't much of an ending. I dunno. I can see what the author was trying to do but I just don't think it was pulled off in a great or gripping way. I never felt a strong need or desire to continue reading this book.

Am Anfang mochte ich es nicht so, es hat sich ziemlich in die Länge gezogen. Aber das Ende ist so toll, das mir das Buch sehr gefällt.

Cute story that had a lot of foreshadowing while remaining mysterious with loveable characters

The cover is really appealing but it was really slow, no exciting twists and turns... I didn't relate to the characters at all. The one good thing this author does well is that she portrays each characters personality really well.. Her characters come off as boring though.... most of the time Luce the protagonist in this book is just thinking about Daniel,Daniel,Daniel I mean I get that they are the main plot line of the story being star crossed lovers and all. but does she really have to obsess that much... She seems like quite a judgmental person..... like when she assumes that Daniel is with Gabbe like sure it did sound a bit like they are a couple when Gabbe says "I'm the only one you have"but Luce jumped to conclusions without confronting them... It would of been more exciting if she confronted them or Just Gabbe... I think that Luce should of interacted with Penn a lot more and thought of her more... One really unreal aspect of this story is that if someone in real life got sent to unfamiliar surroundings or a reform school like Sword and Cross they'd think of their family more... Whether they were missing them or seething that they sent them away.
