Book description
Let me be clear: I didn't just listen to Torment-I felt every heartbeat of Luce's loneliness. The audiobook version of Lauren Kate's Fallen sequel? Pure magic.
You know that ache of missing someone so deeply it feels like your bones are made of glass? That's Luce's world after Daniel vanishes. And the narrator? She nails it. You hear the tremor in Luce's voice as she tries to breathe through the silence, the way her words catch when she thinks of him. It's not just telling you she's heartbroken-it's making you feel it in your chest.
Shoreline School isn't just a setting; it's a character. The rocky California coast, the whispers of Nephilim students, the eerie pull of the Shadows (those eerie windows to past lives)-all come alive through sound. You hear the waves crashing outside the dorms, the hushed arguments in the library, the sudden stillness when Luce finally understands what the Shadows really mean. It's immersive in a way a silent page never could be.
But here's what really hooked me: Daniel's secrets. The audiobook makes that tension unbearable. You hear the hesitation in his voice when he says, "I have to go," and you know he's hiding something. The narrator's subtle shifts-when Luce's suspicion creeps in, when she questions if she's "meant for someone else"-are pure genius. It's not just a plot twist; it's a slow, delicious unraveling you can't stop listening to.
And let's talk about the sound. The gentle rustle of pages when Luce flips through old journals? The distant chime of a school bell? These tiny details pull you deeper. You're not just hearing the story-you're in it, feeling the weight of every unspoken word between Luce and Daniel.
Lauren Kate's writing is already addictive, but the audiobook? It's the perfect match. The pacing is flawless, the emotional beats land like a punch, and that lingering question-What if Daniel's version of the past is a lie?-haunts you long after the final chapter.
If you loved Fallen, this isn't just a sequel-it's the reason you'll press play again. Trust me: you'll be pressing "repeat" on the "I miss you" moments before you know it. And honestly? That's how you know it's a masterpiece.
