What would you do if you had only nine days to save everything you love? Time is running out for fallen angels, Luce and Daniel, as they try to find a way to stop the rebellious Lucifer from erasing the past. Lucifer is determined to wipe away millions of years of history and return to the time and place where he started it all with his rebellion against God. If he succeeds, Luce and Daniel's love will be destroyed. So the fallen angels and their friends, both angel and demon, are in a race to find three relics that will lead them to the spot of the Fall. Only then will secrets be revealed that explain why Lucifer rebelled in the first place and why he now wants to go back in time. But stopping Lucifer is not easy. Dark forces are all around and constantly trying to stop the angels' progress. And even as they battle to survive, Daniel is not completely sure he wants the truth to come out. What Luce does not remember is the role she played in Lucifer's rebellion. Once she discovers her connection to that most historic day, she will have to choose if it is Daniel that she truly loves. While this book is based loosely on Catholic lore about angels and their fall from grace, it is heavy on the romance and definitely more a romantic novel, than a religious history. Fans of the "Twilight" series books would definitely enjoy this storyline. This book is the fourth and concluding book in the "Fallen" series. Reviewer: Heather Kinard
VOYA - Pam Carlson
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. Reviewer: Pam Carlson
