The Storylines
Daniel and Lucinda were destined to find one another no matter how many times they were forced to be apart. Whenever the human girl was born, she would always be without memories of her previous life, and when the two of them were reunited again, the girl would be dead, and the whole cycle would begin again.
However, in this lifetime, something had changed. Lucinda was able to escape from her fate and be with Daniel longer than the usual period. But it also meant that if she died in this lifetime, she would no longer be reborn.
There were things that Daniel the fallen Angel couldn’t openly tell Lucinda. She would need to find out about it herself because otherwise, it would bring her harm.
But Lucinda didn’t know about it, and as she often being left alone without proper explanation, there was a time when Lucinda started questioning herself about her relationship with Daniel, especially when Daniel was often unreachable, and there was a new guy in school giving her attention she much needed.
Desperately looking for the answer to her past life, she took drastic action by travelling back in time and studying her relationship with Daniel in the hope of finding a solution to their cursed life. Lucinda’s journey on breaking the curse wasn’t easy as there was also evil lurking around trying to change the fate of the fallen angels as well as human beings.
My thoughts…
The first book in this series progressed so slowly that I almost put down the book. However, I was glad that I continued reading it. I thought that the time travelling in this book was great as I got to visit different countries like Moscow, Italy, and China in a different timeline.
But honestly, I loved the story of Cam and Lilith in book five more than Daniel and Lucinda.
In book 5 – Unforgiven, when Cam realised his love of life was living in the hell created especially for her by Lucifer, he made a bet with the devil, and if he succeeded in making her fall in love with him in fifteen days, she would be free.
But the first moment they met, Lilith immediately hated him without knowing the reason for it. With only half a month given, it was an impossible mission, especially when Lucifer kept intervening in his every plan. This story made me think about the possibility of ‘we’ currently living in hell without realising it. Could it be possible?
