When is rapture by lauren kate coming out
I couldn't care less about almost all of the stories in Passion that's the one I wanted the whole time. And I sure as hell got it, but not in the way I wanted at all. It all happened so fast and felt so superficial while God was away for those seven days and all that shit and it left me with a sour taste in my mouth.
I just didn't like it and it didn't work for me. Now I didn't really mind the choice they made at the end and deciding to stay together; at least they weren't wishy-washy like that, but the rest of it I could have done without, to tell you the truth. And now I'm finally done with this review, and I shall leave you a picture of a real angel: Ugh just let me touch your buns and give you sweet, sweet, lovin' Ahem.
Enjoy the review. I have a very strange sinking feeling that Kate's still not going to give us any answers whatsoever and is somehow going to avoid it. Even though it's the last book where the answers are supposed to freaking be.
Here's how I think it's going to go: Luce: So, Daniel, why did we ever fall in love in the first place? What ever happened with the first me and you?
How'd we meet? Daniel: Oh, you know, just This thing happened; you know, the thing with me and you and all the Then everyone was like, "aaahhh! It burns! Luce: Oh. Daniel: Yeah, like always and forever and destiny and all that stuff. You wanna let me touch your wings, lick your feet, and make out before we go fight Lucifer? And when I say fight, I mean I'll go do something idiotic and almost die which sends you into a sorrow-filled rage then you get all sparkle-sparkle shiny and pose dramatically while everyone else fights?
Daniel: Like chhhaaaeaaahhh! Let's do this shit! I'll let the picture speak for itself. Enjoy, as God's own son does a facepalm. Ohdearohdearohdearohdearohdearohdearohdear Rapture has a cover. Heaven help me not Daniel, though, I would die sooner from him trying to save me than reading this book. Edit 2: Okay, so the final cover of Rapture is out and, I must say, that it's fucking gorgeous. If I wasn't going to buy it and review it already, I would have bought it just to have the beautiful dustcover.
Props, Kate. View all comments. Oct 22, Megan marked it as to-read. View all 17 comments. This was absolutely beautiful. Reading this series was worth every second of my time. The first book threw me off, but from the last book I have been reading like I am addicted. The plot, the story, the characters, the very purpose of the plot unraveled in the most amazing way and left me breathless.
Many things I found were absurd and meaningless earlier on in the story have proved to carry a certain purpose and even some of the characters either have more to their personalities than was revealed in the beginning or have changed their ways. Now when I go back to see my review of the book, I realise I was a little brutal about quiet a few things that took place along with the personality of the protagonists.
I stand by my review for the first book, but as for now a lot of the things that happened and the reason the personality of certain characters was held nback makes sense. Many characters proved tone great people and as more of the plot was revealed the characters also seemed to compliment the overall story. Luce finds out who she is, she reaches into her past and learns everything there is to know about the people she was and how they still play a part in the person she is today.
Arienne, Roland, Can, Gabbe, and Molly were each amazing people who enhanced the story which would have otherwise been dull at some points.
They all have incredible personalities and are great friends. Each of them exhibit a great capacity for love and friendship and I shall miss reading about their lives. Even Miles and Shelby who were only truly featured in the second book have turned out to be great people and seeing their story end in this book was one of the happiest moments in this book.
I especially enjoyed watching her navigate her way through her past. Seeing how different each version of her were is both entertaining and shocking. I had a great time making my way through this series and shall go on to read the next and final book. Every single one of these characters grew on me and I rate this book 4. View all 5 comments.

Let's go Luce and Cam! This needs to happen! It so didn't! I was expecting this whole boring story that would make me fall asleep.
Sure,there were some less interesting parts. I struggled through the first half but then it quickly picked up and things were starting to make sense.
We learn more about Lucinda's connection with Lucifer,Daniel and Luce remain too cute and Cam is still a flawless God pardon fallen angel even though he didn't have as many scenes as I hoped he would have. We also see the almighty G. If you are worried that your favorite character might die,I can tell you that some people did actually die view spoiler [but no one major hide spoiler ].
We get a VA type of a happy ending and I shed some tears because there won't be more of these books. I do think Lauren should write a spin-off with Cam as a MC. I would definitely buy that and so would all Cam's fan girls. Also because I had a feeling we didn't actually see what happens to him in the epilogue. So please,Mrs. Kate write at least one book with this flawless devil. I am not joking. That is her name. I laughed so hard. For those who don't know who has the same name,I'll tell you.
Nora is the name of the very stupid girl from Hush, Hush. Rapture wasn't perfect but it is so much better than Passion which I never finished reading.
I am so sad Fallen is over. I wish all the best to the author. Haters need to GTFA. Goodbye to Lucinda,her man Daniel and to Cam,hopefully one day I will call him mine. It was a blast hanging out with you over these past few years.

Daniel, Luce, and their friends must stop Lucifer from renewing the history by using the Announcer to change the place where the Fallen first happened. But what I get is the opposite that I do know I must accept sooner than later even if it's so hard.
I'm sobbing for them, for everything they've endured, for the time I've spent on this serie. I will choose you every time. Daniel is stunning as always, my love for him was growing in each book.
For Luce, I quite liked her in this book, her self-reliance is a kind of development I want to see since Fallen, particularly when her past is revealed. Because I stopped loving you. Who doesn't fall for this boy? Yet seeing from his point of view, it's only give to deliever this ending, but from mine, it's not fair because I think they deserve more than this. They meet each other again after giving up their immortal lives.
The sacrifices have been made. The curse has been broken. However, I still want them as they used to be, angels, immortality, and being totally in love. So the ending disappointed me a bit. From the last book when Daniel went back to Heaven and saw himself making a choice, view spoiler [Luce wasn't there. You're great, Kate! And I still have one question after all, where is the Fallen?
I has been binded to them more or less and I'm not realy to leave it here, move on, and read another series, therefore, I save the last book of the series for later if I miss Daniel, Luce, and Cam, I will come back to this series and read it once again.

I'll be pre-ordering this as I did with Passion. Does that mean we have a new love triangle in the picture?
What an unforeseen turn of events! What an interesting plotline we haven't explored before! Sign me up for this new territory! The story is over. Okay, it is a bit sad that it's over, mainly because i can't write these reviews anymore but i don't think i could handle another book with Luce and Daniel.
For a change i will start by saying this book was an upgrade from the sloppy Passion and it actually had a plot, so congrats there!
It starts off rather slow for my taste. Like, really slow. The first half of the book was a struggle to go through. It's like a running theme with this series. The whole saga is a story for barely a two parter but okay, we have a successful book deal and Twilight had 4 books so let's stick with that cardinal rule of paranormal romance. The first chapters aren't anything important and we deal with the usual measure of stupid by the lead couple so there's that. Maybe the person you are about to kiss might care about your nasty breath, Luce.
It's a thought. This whole 'stopping the fall' scheme involves world ending consequences but Luce still believes the world revolves around her and her thrilling romance with Daniel. Dating is more important than saving the world as we know it. It's not explained at all, he just buckles her seatbelt instead of her. He doesn't do anything to prove that this seatbelt needs a special trick to buckle other than Is he subtly shading his true love?
I just want you to know that. And Avalon. Next time try to fly to actual places. Words cannot describe it, Luce. Lucifer was beautiful. Some say he was the most beautiful. Heaven was a fucking pageant show, wasn't it? Daniel wanted to be the fairest of them all but Lucifer stole his thunder and he's been bitter about it.
Some people just like to overreact. Try it: Tell yourself that you are not cold, not hungry, not tired. She decided to give this crazy idea a try. She straightened her shoulders. She projected the words into the misty dusk. She felt rested, equipped for whatever the night called for,determined to succeed. So if you say out loud like that you don't need to eat, sleep or shit you won't have those needs anymore?
My God, i love how she blindly follows Daniel's advice each time. We established that she can breathe underwater thanks to him, except from that time he left her to drown and now she can get rid of her bodily needs? If Daniel says it's possible, then it's possible! Makes sense if you think about it! Mind you, they are standing on the rooftop of the Hofburg Palace in Vienna. Didn't anyone see or hear her act like a drunk lunatic up there? Get that crazy bitch down and have her arrested!
By the way, why wasn't he never accused of Luce's deaths? I think he was jailed once in France but other than that he always gets away with it, despite being the number one suspect. Not even one person didn't press charges against him? His criminal record should have been pages long with all these unreported murders! But it is an old, Heavenly substance—a venom, which, when mixed with an antidote contained in the alloys of the starshot, reacts to produce a healing potion for angels.
For light ailments such as these. Or "i just totally pulled that out of my ass for the sake of plot convenience". Every chapter in this book is a revelation. Suddenly Luce can recall her past lives with details, making the previous book a waste of time since she had that ability all along but she conveniently discovered it now because a bunch of immortals can't remember where the fall happened.
Yes, we are supposed to believe it and not think that it is an excuse to make Luce seem more useful. Before she knew it, Luce had her hands around a cold brass fire poker resting in a stand by the library door. She raised it like a weapon, jaw clenched and heart hammering, and barreled into the hallway. In case you've missed the hints, Luce is really supposed to be the hero in this book. She's our deus ex machina, the solution to every mystery, the savior of the universe, the lion hearted courageous heroine.
Oh my God, somebody help me! They have long worked closely with angels. A transeternal is someone who is technically mortal but can live for thousands of years because this makes sense and shut the fuck up.
Is there such thing as a transmortal? Someone who is technically immortal but able to die? Or are there transangels?
People who are angels but can't fly? I'm loving this terminology! Have you, Daniel? What an extraordinary thing to say when you've been cursed since the beginning of time.
One more reason you haven't heard her talk like that is because she is finally aware of her curse and her history and what selfish asshat her boyfriend is. Every other time she died before she knew anything about it, but continue with the awfully pretentious slimy praise nevertheless.
You're asking why? You blew your cover, Sophia shot you and the two angels jumped to save your useless ass. That's why. Also, why was she so distressed?
She hated Cam before, now she was desperate to save him? Moreover, she continues to be suspicious of him later on so it is bizarre she wanted to risk her life for him. Her feelings towards Cam are as inconsistent as ever in this book.
You don't know that plus now there's two dead angels instead of one so the damage is greater. Also Gabbe was first in line making her soul priceless. Thanks, Luce! The angels didn't give a shit about their friends dying. Arriane and Gabbe were besties but she didin't seem too bothered by her death! It is shocking how no one expresses their sadness or never mentions them again. I wonder why these cold hearted jerks became angels in the first place, they are pretty terrible for the job in my opinion.
They don't have any purpose in the story either. Arriane is eventually a caricature and the others just lurk around in the background sucking up to Luce. Kate probably didn't develop their characters so that Luce could outshine everyone. He let her cry. Held her close. So, not only she had she forgiven him but she grew to love him as well? This happens without any buildup or transition. They suddenly became friends, as though something occured behind the scenes that the readers don't know.
This felt out of place considering how little they've interacted throughout the series. She didn't even thank him when he saved her in Torment, come on. That adoration makes us the best versions of ourselves. We feel encouraged to go further with our instincts, not to change ourselves for love.
If I were yours and you were mine, I would want you to be exactly as you are. I would never eclipse you with my desires. Maybe Lucifer had discovered love, but this angel seemed to understand how to build it into something wonderful. Suddenly, Lucinda was kissing Daniel, showing him how it was done, needing for the first time to give her soul entirely to another.
So, a two minute cheesy pep talk was all it took to lose their shit for each other? How can they make out since they don't have bodies?
What the hell is going on here? Daniel's all : "I'm better than him" and she's all "Sounds legit, let's make out! Oh and Daniel telling her that he would accept her the way she was? Buddy, you made a scene because she dyed her hair blonde! Did the author forget about the numerous situations where Daniel was an overbearing piece of shit or what? If you haven't realized it yet, we have another love triangle with Lucifer being eternally pissy about getting dumped by Luce years ago.
Yup, that's right. That was the point of 4 books and 1 novella. No refunds, sweetie! Without you, I went on to invent evil, the other end of the spectrum, the necessary balance. I inspired Dante! You should see the underworld. You can do whatever you want! You know that I have always been more radiant, more talented. You were there when I invented love. I made it out of nothing, out of mere. You wanted a battle of good and evil? Settle for a bitchy Lucifer who can't get over his stupid breakup.
You know, they all sound as if they are highschool kids, like seriously, it's celestial Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen or something. He's such a craptastic cliched moron that he makes my skin crawl with embarrassment. Is this the thrilling conclusion to this series? A cartoonish Satan and two losers yapping about their love? You know what? That's lazy and i can't believe the author took the easy way out. He staggered toward her. His eyes filled with tears.
The devil shook his head. Also, the Throne? God is meant to be an equivalent of a king? The Throne nodded as if Luce should have known this all along. In Passion only Daniel is heard making a choice. Here we have a flashback where Luce also chooses love but then God tells her she refused to choose? They all suffer from memory loss when it's convenient for the plot.
But it will come at a price. It's more painful for the ones that'll stay behind actually. One of the reasons they wanted to stop Lucifer was because they didn't want their history to be erased. This ending cancels out their whole goal in this book so I don't know what to think of it. Thanks for nothing i guess? Luce of course isn't concerned the least about her parents and how they will face their daughter's strange disappearance?
They are too self focused to be worried about other people and their feelings. If you made them choose between saving the universe and saving their love, be sure they'd opt for the second option.
Even Lucifer looked impressed. Oh you know what? Fuck you forever, Fallen series! I'm done! You already saved the world. No world was at stake here, no great battle happened. We were tricked once again! But carry on with the sickening flattery, i don't care anymore! I mean. Say something.
He loves me. He loves me not. Not that! The world would end for THIS. Somebody kill me NOW. The final scene where the angels and Nephilim stalk them, er, watch them was enjoyable but Miles and Shelby are grownups with kids. Don't they have anything better to do than watch two teenagers make out? And Cam, what happened to him? Hello, did you forget about that plot point that is left hanging?
No answer for that? Now that the series is done, i still don't get why this so called love is the most important thing on the planet and why lives had to perish for it to thrive. Saving the world should be their priority but in this case romance is the main concern which is frankly, very obnoxious. It is a shallow relationship with no foundation, an unhealthy infatuation of two very self absorbed people that are impossible to relate to. God is depicted as a dictator and the love story is basically celestial hormones.
What should have been moving and profound turned out to be a laughable excuse. This was advertised as a romantic story when it's far from even trying to be one. I don't know anything about Luce now that is over, because she's forever defined by Daniel. I don't know anything about Daniel because he's defined by Luce. They are two dimensional characters with no depth or meaning other than having a selfish crush that needs to prevail because?
They kissed in Heaven and they liked it? Because the hormones are too strong? Is this enough reason for other people to die? Why does this gushy love has to exist at the expense of innocents? The whole thing seemed forced and unauthentic. Rapture was an okay book, with some good moments and some action. The story in this one was rushed and uninspired, however. It felt as if the author ran out of ideas, gave up and wrote this book just to wrap up this drag of a series.
The only character with interesting qualities was Cam, and he was terribly misused, so it's sad it ended like this. While the characters didn't develop, the final scenes are satisfying. The ending was decent, solid and what the story needed. I would have given it a 4 if the villains weren't stupid and the romance was not so crappy. Will I be watching the movie if it ever comes out? It is the second installment in the Has Fallen film series. Meanwhile, it is shown that Jennings is the mastermind behind the attacks, and he deliberately set it up for Mike to take the fall by planting his DNA in the van.
Mike calls Leah from a payphone to let her know he is okay, but the call is being tracked by Thompson. Olympus Has Fallen was released in Angel Has Fallen is also a very direct title, but it can be misleading at the same time. Begin typing your search term above and press enter to search.
Press ESC to cancel. Psychological disciplines. Ben Davis April 1, Will there be another fallen movie Lauren Kate? Will the Fallen series become a movie? Was there a fallen 2? Luce and her friends heve to stop Lucifer , who is trying to recreate Angel's fall ; Luce also is going to remember everything about each her past life: she will understand who she really is and why she's in love with Daniel.
It's followed by Unforgiven. Luce, Daniel, and the other angels had nine days to stop Lucifer from bending time end erasing everything since the Fall. They fought many Scale, the elders, Miss Sophia with the help of the Outcasts. They are in allegiance with the Outcasts now. In order to locate the site of the Fall, they have to find the three relics first. Everything was up to Luce this time. She now has the ability to see through her past lives without the use of an Announcer.
She discovered her true nature on just her own. She knew that the curse prevented her from knowing her true nature as an angel, caused her to die whenever she began to approach a memory of her past. That's why none of the others could tell her who she was. She was once an angel, even became Lucifer's Evening Light. Lucinda and Lucifer loved each other way long before and it is them that invented love itself. Her first love has been Lucifer, and Lucifer had been hers.
Lucinda and Lucifer became the first beings to experiment with affection beyond God. He grew more possessive, more envious of Lucinda's adoration of the Throne. The reason why Lucifer wants to wipe the slate clean is because he wants to reset the universe to have Lucinda back—to choose him instead of Daniel. Lucinda loved Daniel more than Lucifer because Daniel wants her for who she is and he would never eclipse her with his desires.
