The aforementioned rushed ending brought this down from 5 stars for me but make no mistake, it's a seriously excellent book, with a huge amount of really interesting characters - all of the six students I mentioned earlier, plus a couple of members of staff at the school, are vividly drawn and stand out as very realistic (for a fantasy novel, at least!) I can't wait for the follow-up, Torment, as I think with the characters already established and an intriguing starting point, it will be even better than Fallen.
I'd like to thank the publishers for sending a copy of this book to Bookbag. We also have a review of Kate's [[The Betrayal of Natalie Hargrove by Lauren Kate|The Betrayal of Natalie Hargrove]].
Further reading suggestion: [[Twilight by Stephenie Meyer|Twilight]], obviously. Fans of supernatural romance going for a less well-known book would also be advised to try [[Wicked Lovely by Melissa Marr]], and/or Rachel Caine's [[Glass Houses: The Morganville Vampires by Rachel Caine|Morganville Vampires]] series. You might enjoy [[Ghost: Blood and Fire by Phoebe Reeves Murray]] but we had our reservations.
