I'm not much for vampires these days. You can thank Twilight for that.
I am, however, all for fallen angels. I feel like there's so much more there than with other popular paranormal teen romances. Lauren Kate's series is the second that I've read involving fallen angels (the Hush, Hush series by Becca Fitzpatrick was the first, and I'll probably write something about how much I ADORE that series later). Anyways, I've recently finished the 3rd book, and I feel like it's worth checking out, and here's why:
1, If you're a teen and you're looking for a good summer read. It's easy to understand, a fairly quick read (I finished the 3rd book in less than 24 hours), and there is enough page-turning conflict to keep you wanting to read.
2, Luce, the main character, has this lovely little thing called DIMENSION, which is lacking in some other...ahem...prominently featured leading ladies. Without giving too much away, there's a whole lot riding on Luce and her choice of love, and it's not just 'Oh darn I sure would like to date that moody boy I sit next to in science class.'
3, Appearances by some of the best characters. The fallen angels all have their own, separate personalities, and most of the time, you can't tell who's siding where. Plus, who doesn't love an appearance by Satan?
4. The legend woven by the author is interesting in and of itself. Kate's main characters have years (yes years) of history attached to them, and Kate does a good job of weaving it together.
Overall, if you're into paranormal romance, I'd check it out. I'll be sure to let y'all know my thoughts on the final book in the series when I read it.
