There's something achingly familiar about Daniel Grigori.
Mysterious and aloof, he captures Luce Price's attention from the moment she sees him on her first day at the Sword & Cross boarding school in sultry Savannah, Georgia. He's the one bright spot in a place where cell phones are forbidden, the other students are all screw-ups, and security cameras watch every move.
Even though Daniel wants nothing to do with Luce--and goes out of his way to make that very clear--she can't let it go. Drawn to him like a moth to a flame, she has to find out what Daniel is so desperate to keep secret . . . even if it kills her.
"Sexy and fascinating and scary . . . I loved loved loved it!"--New York Times bestselling author P.C. Cast

You figure out who Daniel is and it's kind of "blah, blah, blah". The truly interesting and engaging character is Cam. He's the only reason I wanted to finish the book. Good thing I did because I totally got the ending wrong!...yeah for that and Luce is not as much as a "whoas is me, I'm gonna faint" damsel in distress as I thought she was going to be. Will read the sequel that is coming out in Sept. 2010 just to see who Cam really is: a good or bad fallen angel.
I have been having a difficult time coming up with a plot summary, I think it may be because I am not entirely sure there was an actual plot. Okay here is a stab. Luce was sent to a boarding school, Sword & Cross. There she met two guys Cam and Daniel and girls Arriane, Gabbe and Penn. They try to navigate around each other and stay alive. Really that is the best I can come up with.
I firmly believe if the author deleted the three primary characters and made a story involving the secondary characters the story would have been much better. I understand she was trying to make it seem as if Cam was mysteriously charismatic whenever he was actually around Luce, but it just made her feel flaky without actually knowing what she was wanting.
Luce said from the beginning that she wasn't going to talk about her past and the events that lead her to the reform school. Then she talks about it with the first two people she met. Then she again told us she wasn't going to talk about it. Luce really stuck to her conviction by discussing it with both of the guys in the story, Cam and Daniel.
One of the things that puzzled me throughout the entire book was the sweaters. Why if they were in the south in September was everyone wearing either a sweater or a hoodie? There was even one character who wore multiple sweaters at the same time. I realize this isn't a pivotal plot point, but I really got stuck on this detail.

This book was beautiful! I couldn’t get into the second one but this one is amazing, it covers themes of mental health, friendships, angels and more. I found this story to be adventurous, romantic, and dark, my favorite combo!
