 I feel like this is one of those books I'm supposed to hate, and maybe I would if I read it today... but I loved it the first time I read it and really liked it the second time around. I was younger for both reads, so that may explain a lot. It probably also has to do with the fact that, aside from Twilight, I hadn't been introduced to enough paranormal romance at the time to be sick of the tropes (outcast girl falls for broody male who treats her like shit to "protect her," love triangles, et cetera). 
 Anyway, you can see my full review of the FALLEN series over at Paper Droids: http://www.paperdroids.com/2012/10/26.... 
 I was originally going to knock stars off of this but I want to honor my original feelings about the book, so at 5 stars it will stay. I just wanted to update my actual review with a bit of an explanation since this isn't the type of book I think I'd rate 5 stars today.
