Goodreads Synopsis:

The sky is dark with wings . . . .

Like sand in an hourglass, time is running out for Luce and Daniel. To stop Lucifer from erasing the past they must find the place where the angels fell to earth. Dark forces are after them, and Daniel doesn’t know if he can do this—live only to lose Luce again and again.

Yet together they will face an epic battle that will end with lifeless bodies . . . and angel dust. Great sacrifices are made. Hearts are destroyed. And suddenly Luce knows what must happen.

For she was meant to be with someone other than Daniel. The curse they’ve borne has always and only been about her—and the love she cast aside. The choice she makes now will be the only one that truly matters.

In the fight for Luce, who will win?

The astonishing conclusion to the FALLEN series. Heaven can’t wait any longer.

My Review:

            After stepping into an announcer, meeting her past selves, and learning about her life, Luce has finally arrived to the point in time where time first began. Along the way, Luce was escorted by a small man who claimed he was the guardian of the announcers and he was going to help Luce figure out why she was cursed. Luce has arrived to the beginning of time when the battle of good and evil began. She is witnessing the fall of Daniel, the choice the angels were given, and why she was cursed. While Luce is witnessing this, Daniel and the rest of the angels have arrived right behind her.

            
          I felt like the whole book was based on the war and not their love. I mean c'mon the author could have give Luce and Daniel a sexy scene. But no, the story revolved on the curse and the thing that made me mad was that the author never explained why Trevor died. It was like he wasn't a big part of the story (but actually he was since this curse started because of him!) and we don't even know what happened.

            Anyways...when Luce figures out that the small man that was helping her was actually Lucifer she looses her mind! How could she not have realized a crazy devil was with her the entire time. As the other angels watched, Luce jumped into the announcer after Lucifer in order to defeat him. So does she do it? Of course she does!! But was there a good vs. evil battle scene? No! I guess for me that was probably the most disappointing part about the end because there wasn't a fight, Luce defeated the angel of hell just like that... But I gotta say the covers for this series have been beautiful!!!
