WELL WELL WELL I'm kind of surprised that I was right about Luce. I was not especting her to be an angel. I mean, I thought that she was, but I didn't really believe it. I mean, that just came out of no where. I mean, In book 3, when we were with Daniel watching that seen, we didn't see any Lucinda. So, why is the seen different, Seriously Lauren, pay attention to details please. And what's up with the Whole Lucifer thing, Gees Lauren, why did you have to do something like that? Once again You've left someone with a broken heart. Still, at least was Wasn't Daniel. I hadn't really formed any character attachment to Lucifer yet, only to Bill, and that went out the window when he started making evil plans and turning into a devil. So I don't really care about his broken heart, but still Lauren, that was a jerk move. Although I'm glad it's not Miles whose left being the one behind in love with Luce, but I do have to say that I think Shelby is not the right girl for him. But as long as he's happy.(saddly Shaking head) Some of my questions have finally been answered, but still, I don't think I will ever understand this series, although part is from not pay attention. Like I just reread Unforgiven while reading the series in order from start to finish, and I reallized, that in the beginning(where I fell asleep the first time through,) it mentions the whole Luce being an Angel thing, so now I'm not sure weather I guessed that on my own, or whether I half remembered it from trying to listen to a book when I was in the middle of falling asleep. Oh well, which ever. A lot of only slightly happy endings, and a few things really ticked me off. Like Gabbe, why did she have to die? Couldn't Molly have jumped and infront of them and taken the starshots alone. It would have been a better death for her anyway. I never liked her, but she was starting to look like she had a heart, so what a good way for her to go out, selflessly for Luce and Daniel. Gabbe didn't have to be there too. And I have a question about Gabbe, I thought the second To Lucifer was a male angel named Gabriel, not a female Angel named Gabrielle, so Am I wrong, or are they different angels, or what? Although, I always thought God was a guy too. Not been sexist on anything, Hey I'm a girl so it's not like I'm putting my gender down or anything, it just what I heard. I've never read the bible or gotten into religion or anything like that, In fact, the person who created the whole world makes more sense as a girl. I'm kind of Thinking, "Take that guys, you men think your all that, but god's a girl." Although I supose that God can be anything, so this ym toesn't really matter, and again I'm not being sexist by saying that girls are better than guys, I was just surprised, and a little happy when that twist popped up. It was just wow. God and Angels aside, the book like the others, was okay, go ahead and read it. Although, I should ask you to read the rest of the books first, because this is a book 4, and if you although know that and have read the books, than your probably going to read it anyway, out of desire to know the ending, if nothing else. So your mind won't be changed no matter what I have to say about it. Lauren, I'm glad this Didn't end like Teardrope, this book wasn't bad, who knows, I might reread the series again, you never know.

Millions of readers across the globe were waiting for this one. THIS is the story of whether or not Luce and Daniel would finally overcome and be able to live a full life together. Over the years they have fought to accomplish this goal. Daniel has been the fallen angel who chose Luce as the girl he wanted a long time ago; Luce is the teenage girl down below who was fighting and struggling to live her life (or, at least, find a way to like her life) when they first met up at Sword & Cross. And, yes, this was the school that made all readers a little creeped out and definitely wanted to do better in school so they wouldn’t be put there.
Over the years (and books) Luce began to have incidents and, most of all, memories. She saw her past lives in China, Egypt, and other locations where she and Daniel met, kissed and death took over. This was a curse and something they had to overcome in order to be together.
Suffice to say the final book was the picture of a paranormal battle of wills. This was the war of Heaven versus Hell that had to be played out in order for Luce to finally unveil and uncover exactly what she is and find out exactly why she and Daniel have had this horrific heartbreaking history. The cast of characters are back - the angels (bad and good) must get together to hunt the land for three objects; three objects that when brought together will show a solution to stop Lucifer from altering time and starting the world all over again - erasing the lives and future that Luce and Daniel had shared, making sure they will no longer find each other the next time around.
This is the pain, the agony and an adventure where the group must actually meet up with creatures they haven’t exactly liked along the way in order to fight for what they want. What’s the main issue? Luce has a secret buried in her own mind and when she finds this secret out she will have to fight for her very life, existence, and - of course - the ability to be with the boy she loves.
This is one of those ‘vacant’ reviews because…it has to be. Literally every page of this adventure introduces a new character, a new piece of the past, and a new secret that readers will want to learn for themselves as they sit in a room alone and come to terms with what Lauren Kate has been saying across this series. There are those readers who will not be surprised (frankly, I think many knew where this was all going). But the biggest issue with this series is the fact that it has come to an end. Likened to the ‘fanged’ character that everyone loved for so long as he fought for his lady and vice versa - Lauren Kate’s couple will be caught in the imagination for a good, long time until - perhaps - the movie screen allows readers to see Luce and Daniel up close and personal.
The writing is as good as Book I and does not leave readers unhappy. ‘Nough said. Advice to Lauren Kate? Get going on another YA series because you’re certainly a master at it!
Quill Says: A fond farewell to Luce and Daniel!
