Fallen & Torment by Lauren Kate
Fallen Summary:
There’s something achingly familiar about Daniel Grigori.
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.
Thirteen Reasons WHY WAS INCREDIBLE! Great pick!
