Synopsis:

The sky is dark with wings . . . .
Like sand in an hourglass, time is running out for Luce and Daniel. To stop Lucifer from erasing the past they must find the place where the angels fell to earth. Dark forces are after them, and Daniel doesn’t know if he can do this—live only to lose Luce again and again.
Yet together they will face an epic battle that will end with lifeless bodies . . . and angel dust. Great sacrifices are made. Hearts are destroyed. And suddenly Luce knows what must happen.
For she was meant to be with someone other than Daniel. The curse they’ve borne has always and only been about her—and the love she cast aside. The choice she makes now will be the only one that truly matters.
In the fight for Luce, who will win?
The astonishing conclusion to the FALLEN series. Heaven can’t wait any longer.

Review:
Wow… That was one heck of a way to end the series. It made you stop and think about what was going one and what has all happened in the past. Rapture was the conclusion that you couldn’t put down for the life of you and all you wanted to see was how Luce and Daniel would end up.


Cover:
The cover completes the set, and goes along with one of the settings in the book. It was beautiful and creepy, just like the other covers.


Plot/Writing:
Well, it was never boring that’s for sure. You were always invested in what was happening. The story never had a dull moment. It continued to amaze me with all the new ideas and how the story finally came together in the end. Lauren Kate never ceases to shock me with the story and how she tied it all together and polished everything off nicely.


Characters:
Luce is the same as ever, but not quite. Sure she’s stronger and has her past lives with her now, but she is still the same girl at heart. She has all her same morals and is still Luce. The Luce that you have come to know and love throughout the series, maybe with a little something extra, but still the ever amazing, strong and beautiful Luce!

Daniel, well there isn’t really words for Daniel. He is still tormented with all of Luce’s past lives and he is trying to get past that. He is there for the whole story and you learn a lot about his character, which is nice because you haven’t really seen a lot of this completely open and honest Daniel. He is still as sexy as ever though! ;)


All in All:
I am going to miss Luce and Daniel, Arriane and Roland, Shelby and Miles, Cam, Molly and Gabbe. All of them will forever be in my heart. A great way to end the series and I hope to see more of Lauren Kate’s writing! Goodbye angels. 4 out of 5 tacos!
