"Lauren Kate has created an amazing series. Rapture is the last book. She captures the essence of her characters with love. You time travel and experience a vivid part of Lauren's imagination. There has not been a series of books that took me so many places with her characters. It's a gift to create the amazing circle of the cast of players in these books. You can't help but understand the misunderstood. You can't help but feel the heartbreak of Luce as with every life experience, she comes closer to understanding her love for Daniel. Luce has her guardians, all trying to correct the Fall, knowing She is the key. In Rapture, all the characters come full circle. Luce begins to understand her place and the actions of the Fall. We finally see the purpose of Luce's journey, and Luce does as well. In an Angel series, this has by far been the best I have read. Lauren breathes life in all that she writes. You begin to breathe each character as well. You feel joy, love, heartbreak and most of all the sense of urgency as Lucifer begins to shift the world. As Luce becomes more keen to her role, hope reigns! The twist of the beginning of Daniel and Luce was unexpected and given by grace. Rapture is a fitting title, as the love that was in the beginning, continues until the end. Commitment and glory reign, as Luce and her friends find and understand the Fall. Grace is gift given by Lauren to her myriad of characters. A must read, after you start from the beginning of the series. After all, it was in the beginning....."

Rapture Fallen Lauren Kate Books Reviews
- This book has a very good ending that I can't get out of my head. Lauren Kate did an amazing job and the ending was bitter sweet that it made me cry!!! I loved Luce and Daniels story and am upset that it's over I will definitely miss these characters a lot. I can't believe that it's over! I need more stories about Luce and Daniel!!
Spoilers
Luce and Daniel and the rest of the angels have nine days to stop Lucifer from erasing the past, to do so Luce and Daniel must find where the angels fell but none of the angels seem to have memory of it so they go seeking for 3 relics that when brought together will tell them were the angels fell. During the quest Daniel gets the Outcasts to join them. The Scale are after them and want to make sure that they don't get the 3 relics. They had split into groups, Daniel and Luce successfully finding the 1st relic. But the Outcasts inform Luce and Daniel that there friends are in danger that Arriane, Roland, and Annabelle had been caught by the Scale. Luce and Daniel go to save them along with the Outcast, once they do they go find the 2nd relic and find out that it's a women nicknamed Dee who is Sophia's sister but she was also one of Luce's past aunts. Daniel then says that the Outcasts had informed him that the other angels are in trouble and were captured by the Elders. They go rescue Gabbe, Molly, and Cam who had been set out to find the 3rd relic. The Elders are armed with starshots and attack Luce and Daniel with them but before they could get to them Gabbe and Molly stepped between them saving their lives but Gabbe and Molly die. They end up killing the Elders, Phil tells Daniel that there are only 4 Outcasts left. They them move on to another location in which Dee tells them what must be done to the 3 relics to find out the falls location. Dee tells Luce that she will have to sacrifice Dee in order to see the location, Luce does not want to do it but ends up doing. In Dee's last moments she tells Luce that she gives her the gift of knowledge. They finally find out where the fall takes place which is in Troy, the angels head there. After that Luce starts seeing things and begins to think that she is going crazy but then realizes that they are memories of her past and finally Luce figures out that she was an angel the 3rd close to the Throne and also that her first love was not Daniel but that it was Lucifer but then she realized that he was to controlling and falls for Daniel. Lucifer rebels against God and Luce remembers what had happened at the Roll Call, when Daniel is called he says that he choses neither but choses love, Luce comes up next to Daniel and she agrees with Daniel. Lucifer felt betrayed and then cursed them both. But then Luce also see's another Daniel come up and beg for mercy in which it is granted, then they fall. Luce finally remember everything. Then an announcer has opened in which holds the fallen angels and Lucifer, Daniel tells Luce that she will have to stop him. Luce then comes face to face with Lucifer who tells her that he did this so that her can try to get her back so that they could be together and rule together Luce tells him that she no longer loves him anymore but as they are arguing the Thorne appears and along with with the angels and tells Luce that she has already finished her punishment and it shall be lifted and is asked which side does she chose heaven or hell Luce again says that she choses love and Daniel also stands by her. (Luce also asks the Throne if the Outcasts could go back to heaven, Throne says yes) The Throne offers them that they could be together however they would be reborn as mortals and have no memory as what had happened and who they were and that the angels are banned from seeing them. They both accept.
17 years later Luce and Daniel meet at a college that they are both attending where they don't have any memory who they were but Daniel senses something familiar about her and Daniel and Luce fall in love with each other for the first and last time).( but Lucifer meet with her again for just a few minutes, who she of course didn't recognize.) In the epilogue Annabelle, Arraine, Roland, (Shelby and Miles are married and also expecting a child)Shelby and Miles are watching over Luce and Daniel. And no one seems to know what happened to Cam.( Annabelle asks Shelby and Miles if they want a heads up on when Daniel and Luce will have their first date? Miles says aren't they suppose to leave them alone but Shelby quickly disagrees and says yes she would. - I haven't uniformly loved the books in this series (yes Fallen, not so much Torment) but I do love the series overall. Though it isn't always pitch-perfect, 'Rapture' is still a great ending to the - quadrilogy? Well, series. In particular I'm glad that Kate didn't try to spin it out any further, as seems to be happening too much these days with series in this genre. There's a definite, logical progression in the development of the two main characters throughout the four books, and the way that their quandry pans out in the last book makes good on that trajectory. Though both the 'twist' regarding Luce's true identity and Luce & Daniel's ultimate fate are somewhat predictable, they're still satisfying. And let's be honest there isn't much that isn't predictable in teen paranormal romance novels. Which is part of the reason those of us who love them, love them!
Having said that, there is another twist at the end regarding Luce's history which I didn't see coming, and which is actually one of the reasons why I didn't give this book five stars. Rather like Primrose's fate in the Hunger Games, the revelation of the second forgotten section of Luce's past, presumably put in there for effect, seemed to me unnecessary and rushed. More to the point, it depleted what had, for me, been the driving force of the plot and character arc Daniel & Luce's unwavering love for and devotion to each other. It also detracted from Luce's character itself. One of the things I've liked about this series is that Luce isn't necessarily the most perfect and beautiful girl in the room, but Daniel still loves her best, because of what's in her soul (as he tells us repeatedly.) But the final revelation about Luce's past [slight spoiler alert] was gilding the lily. We already have three major characters in love with her - this fourth one pushes the situation from just-about-believable into Mary Sue territory. Especially when there are so many other desirable females in attendance... Anyway, to say more about that is to say too much. But I'd be interested in whether other readers felt the same way.
The book's other major downfall is the many loose ends it doesn't tie up. And they're some pretty major ones what, for instance, was the deal with Trevor's spontaneous combustion? That has been nagging me since the beginning of the series, but everyone just seems to accept it without explanation, with no mention made among all of the big revelations at the end.
And then, why do so many of Luce's close friends have to die? I actually hold JK Rowling somewhat responsible for this one - she was determined to kill off lovable characters as if it would somehow give the books greater adult credibility. Now this tendency seems to have infected the genre and similar ones. Can't good ever just plain triumph over evil? Do there always have to be major sacrifices? It's annoying, especially when the sacrifices seem just too simple.
Another peculiarly major oversight for Kate in her Big Decision at the end of the book, Luce agonizes over what it might mean for her and Daniel and their angelic friends, but she never spares a thought for the human friends and family who stand to lose the most from her decision. In fact they never even cross her mind, which seems strange at best, given how important they've been to her in the past, and what she's learned about loss from visiting her past lives.
I was also ready to complain about the fact that Shelby & Miles seem to just fall off the face of the earth, along with the explanation for Arianne's burns, Roland's allegiance to Lucifer, etc. Then I remembered the strange little book 'Fallen in Love' which came out on Valentine's day. Got it, and it does explain some of these things - though not always particularly well. But that's another story.
At the end of the day this tragic love story does have a happily-ever-after, and it was well enough done to make me smile. So four stars, definitely. I'll be interested to see what Kate comes out with next. - Lauren Kate has created an amazing series. Rapture is the last book. She captures the essence of her characters with love. You time travel and experience a vivid part of Lauren's imagination. There has not been a series of books that took me so many places with her characters.
