TORMENT

THE FALLEN SERIES #2 : TORMENT

Torment (Fallen, #2)
Hell on earth.

That's what it's like for Luce to be apart from her fallen angel boyfriend, Daniel.

It took them an eternity to find one another, but now he has told her he must go away. Just long enough to hunt down the Outcasts - immortals who want to kill Luce. Daniel hides Luce at Shoreline, a school on the rocky California coast with unusually gifted students: Nephilim, the offspring of fallen angels and humans.

At Shoreline, Luce learns what the Shadows are, and how she can use them as windows to her previous lives. Yet the more Luce learns, the more she suspects that Daniel hasn't told her everything. He's hiding something - something dangerous.

What if Daniel's version of the past isn't actually true? What if Luce is really meant to be with someone else?

The second novel in the addictive FALLEN series...where love never dies.

REVIEW:
I liked the Fallen series very much. But I have to say that torment really was a little of a torment for me (yes, the pun was intended). I don't like waiting and this book was a book that introduced you and let you learn about the angel and nephilim world, so you had to wait for the action to begin and get to know what Luce and Daniel's relationship is all about. But this book really needed to be there in the series. 
I liked the way torment went into al the details of the world you had only glimpsed in Fallen.
Miles and Shelby are wonderfully introduced and I loved the fact that the story of Luce and Daniel is a legend/ mythe amongst the shoreline kids.
My first thought was, when I was guided through the shoreline school, was that it was a fancy, rich kid school. But I actually really liked the school and the kids that go there weren't the snobs I expected.

So my oppinion is that you really have to get through this book to really understand the angel world.
And it really isn't as bad and slow as I momentarily thought.
So I gave this book 4 roses.
