Fallen: Lauren Kate

It's not a dystopian novel!!!  So I thought this was a book someone recommended, but it was another book called Fallen.  But I didn't find out until I had already read it.  This was alright.  It was a little hard for me to get into, but I went ahead and just trudged my way through and in the end it didn't end up half bad.  It was completely different than what I imagined from the cover.  One thing I didn't like about the book was the perspective it was written.  I don't know if that's because I'm used to reading first person books or strictly third person.  But it was written in third, but it almost seemed like it needed to be written in first because it includes Luce's thoughts.  I don't know, it just confused me at times.
Pretty much this girl, Luce, is in reform school after her last love interest died while she was with him.  Well not so much died as was burned to death.  She doesn't really understand what happened.  She was kissing him and then all of a sudden things went awry.  So she's at reform school, and really it's the type of school where juvenile delinquents go.  When Trevor, the boy who burned died, she had seen shadows and they have been haunting her since she was a little girl.  And she tried explaining it but no one really took her seriously, which resulted in the reform school.
While she's there she meets a lot of interesting people.   But from the first day she feels a weird connection with this guy named Daniel and for some reason she attracted to him.  But she also has another admirer, Cam.  He's quite charming and keeps beckoning for Luce to date him.  She keeps having weird dreams of Daniel, she kinda feels like a stalker.  She does all this research on him and with help from her only friend on campus, Penn, she sneaks a peak at his school records. She keeps trying to talk to Daniel and have a friendship with him, but he keeps pushing her away and then at other times he seems really into her.

Characters to know:
Luce:  She's the main character, she is in reform school because her (kind of) boyfriend died while she was there and she doesn't know what happened.
Daniel:  He's kind of Luce's love interest but he's constantly shoving her off.
Arriane:  Arriane takes a liking to Luce.  On the first day she (Arriane) takes Luce around the campus and just befriends her.
Penn: Penn quickly becomes Luce's friend. She's pretty much the only 'normal' AKA non-delinquent at Sword Cross.  She's there because her dad died and he was the groundskeeper there, and it was the only place she called home.
Cam: He's quite charming, but there's something about him that is too perfect.  He won't give up on trying to go out with Luce.

(I'll come back and edit the characters, but it's getting late and I have work in the morning.)
