Fallen

I have just finished reading "Fallen", and I have to say, it's okay. I mean, I see the appeal as it is a supernatural love story and all that, but I'm at least glad the writing didn't bore me.
I think that Cam falling in love is unrealistic. Unless of course, the reason is explained in some other book, I think Cam is just thrown in to put int a pointless love triangle. Which brings me to an even bigger topic. Throughout the book Cam seemed like the nice guy, the guy who would be good to a girl. Then at the ed, he gets a random change of personality that completely threw me off the loop. Apparently, Cam is the type of guy who likes violence and the like. Now, I never saw a hint of this inside the book and if anything, I would think Daniel would be the more violent character. Which if that happened, I think it would make their love (Daniel's and Luce's) so much more likable because she loves him despite the fact he isn't perfect, because he's a jerk, and is quite violent, but has a good side. Sadly, she just instantly falls in love with him even though he is a jerk, then he reveals this whole thing that would be a spoiler and starts to act kind.
Now, I think the whole thing would be better if Daniel and Luce had like moments where he was nice, like more than the one time AFTER he got jealous of Cam and Luce.
Overall I don't think it's that great of a book, but it's something that other people might enjoy.
