Daniel & Luce. A love that spreads across eons of time and one that ends in Luce dying in a ball of fire each and every time. Except this time, something is different and Luce's on a journey through their past lives to find out why. Through ancient China, old fashioned England and Egyptian tombs Luce winds her way towards the answer she is searching for....And then here is where my problems lie..WHAT ON EARTH IS SHE SEARCHING FOR?I know I know, it's all pre-determined and she had to do it to change the past/therefore change the future, but really the whole time I was just thinking, "and the point of that was?". It just frustrated me and the more I think about it, the more problems I have with it.The whole book pretty much didn't need to happen, I admit at the start I was thinking 'this is kinda cool going back in time' but I honestly thought it would only be for half the book, not the entire novel. It also meant I missed the other characters, it was pretty much the Luce and Daniel show (and if you love their soppy and sometimes over the top, death defying and completely unrelatable love then you will adore this book) with Shelby and Miles popping into a past life for what seemed like no reason what-so-ever and a small performance by Annabelle who just popped out of no-where. I missed the snarky, witty banter from Cam and the delightful relationship between Roland and Arriane. And if anyone can tell me the answer to two simple questions, well i'd love you forever... Why do all the other fallen angels (i.e Arriane, Cam, Roland, Gabbe etc. always hang around Daniel and ultimatly Luce in each life? Maybe i've missed something, but come on, they are always hanging around and i'm not quite sure why, perhaps they are just awesome friends who like to watch Luce die over and over again, or perhaps i'm just being cynical and they're just besties.And How does Daniel keep changing his appearance in almost each past life? Suddenly he's Egyptian, and the next minute he has his whole torso tattooed, and then he's oreintal? I'm not sure I get this either. Phoar, glad I got that all off my chest. All in all, it was an easy read and had it's great moments, but I had too many questions left to ask rather than any of them being solved.Also secretly I want Cam to end up with Luce.

THANK YOU GOD, I FINISHED IT!!!This book sucks terribly.Fallen and Torment were both really good books and I found the series got a little boring, predictable and disappointing.Everything in this book got so confusing:1. It has no plot at all!2. Time traveling was literally so confusing.3. Luce is dumbass: what on earth is she searching for?4. How does Daniel keep changing his appearance in almost each past life? He´s immortal after all. He doesn´t die!5. Why do all the other fallen angels always hang around Daniel and Luce in each life? 6. All the characters are doing nothing except wandering from one era to other.7. My biggest disappointment (both with this book and the last) was the lack of Cam.Passion was 420 pages of torture . I don't know anything more about Luce and Daniel than I did in the last book.

SpoilersHere is the short review:Here is the long review:And the award for The Worst Couple to Have Ever Been Written In the History of Mankind, No Seriously, What the Hell Were You Thinking goes to Lucinda Price and Daniel Grigori!Good evening. I am here with Lucinda Price and Daniel Grigori, the winners of the award for The Worst Couple to Have Ever Been Written In the History of Mankind, No Seriously, What the Hell Were You Thinking! Lucinda, how does that make you feel?Lucinda: They just dont understand our love for each other!Didnt you just go through all different periods of time because you didnt understand your love for Daniel?Lucinda: Yes.What did you learn during your journey? What did you see?Lucinda: I stalked my former self and former Daniel. I watched endless make-out sessions and got jealous of my former self for making out with former Daniel. I also watched myself die over and over again. For love. Daniel would eventually find me again. He always does, because he loves me! And I love him!You were accompanied by a gargoyle named Bill. He tricked you, right?Lucinda: Oh, how was I supposed to know he was Satan in disguise? He transformed himself into Daniel once, so obviously he was trustworthy! I broke down crying when he did that. [Lucinda sobs] I just.. I missed him so much!Daniel: Lucinda isnt exactly the brightest bulb. But my love for her consumes me.Lucinda: Hey, I am sma- wait, you love me?Daniel: With my entire being.Lucinda: Oh Daniel, youre so romantic! [Lucinda lovingly strokes Daniels cheek] I love your cheek.Can we get a bucket over here? My apologies, Im done puking now. On to the next question. Daniel, obviously youve learned nothing since Torment. It was made clear that you cant do anything right, yet you keep refusing the help of your friends.Daniel: I dont need their help! I can do it by myself.Then how do you explain the fact that you never caught up with Lucinda while she was travelling through time?Daniel: I said, I dont need their help.Do I need to remind you that you were also tricked by the gargoyle named Bill?Daniel: I didnt realise it was Satan.Yes, that was obvious. Now, about Satan, everyone is anxiously waiting for you to choose between Heaven and Hell. WhDaniel: I choose my love for Lucinda![Lucinda swoons]That was not an option. You know you're gonna have to choose eventually. Why are you taking millennia to decide?Daniel: Things got in the way.Things like Lucinda?Daniel: Yes. I fell in love with her soul, and I saved her life by killing her.You think one girl is more important than the entire mankind?Daniel: Yes.You think shes worth it?Daniel: Yes.Why? Shes not exactly interesting.Daniel: I love her.Well, youre not that interesting either. But you barely know the girl. How much time have you spent with Lucinda?Daniel: Ive known her since the beginning of time. We have spent a lot of time together. I even let her tattoo my entire body once, that's how much I love her.Lucinda's personality changes with every lifetime. Even when shes a snotty brat in Victorian England, you love her because shes Lucinda.Daniel: Ill always love her.But you have nothing in common.Daniel: That doesnt matter, we dont talk anyway. All we do is make out. And then she dies.Yes, speaking of that. Dont you think youre a selfish bastard for catching up with Lucinda every lifetime?Daniel: I want to be with her. I love her and no matter how little time we have together, it'll be worth the wait.But she dies because of you. Shes never turned 18 because of you.Daniel: ...Lucinda: Dont hurt my Daniel! I kiss him back, you know!Yes, but youre a daft cow without an opinion.Daniel: Dont talk to her like that or Ill kill you!Now, now, lets not get violent. Im just mentioning the fact that you keep her from living a long and healthy life because you keep showing up.Lucinda: I will never be truly happy without Daniel!Daniel: I mourn her every time she dies.You do? How do you mourn?Daniel: Sometimes I sleep for weeks. Other times I jump off a cliff and break every bone in my body.Thats deep, Daniel. Because thats the immortal equivalent of dying, right? So you dont do anything productive while youre waiting for Lucinda to become of legal age?Lucinda: What does productive mean? Daniel, what is he talking about?Daniel: Dont break your pretty little head over it, my sweet. You are safe.Im starting to like this Satan. How did it make you feel when he called you self-centred, Lucinda?Lucinda: I am not self-centred! Its not my fault the whole world revolves around our love!Heres another quote from Satan for you: Theres more to life than teenage passion.Lucinda: This is not passion! This is love!Youre seventeen.Lucinda: [Lucinda huffs] That is it! I have had it with you! I will not let you criticise us! [Lucinda stands up and struts off]You know Im right, Daniel.Daniel: No! I refuse to accept that these books shouldnt revolve around me! Me, me, me! I dont like you very much!Boo hoo. The feeling is mutual.[Daniel grabs the award and storms off after Lucinda]Thats all for today, folks! Tune in next time when we discuss Rapture. Lucinda and Daniel and their sidekicks friends go back to the beginning of time to save their infatuation love from the curse once and for all. As for now, I need chocolate. Lots and lots of chocolate.

so...,a prequel.i don't know how i feel 'bout it.,i'm mostly sad cuz there won't be much Cam,he's the best part of the series.i fear i will have to read about 5000+ years of the "great love" between daniel and Luce.

Now this is what I call torture. I have literally never suffered when reading a book, like I suffered when reading Passion. This book really was a pain to read. I wanted to punch something so badly that I ended up taking a jog in the middle of the day to calm down because I am that furious with Lauren Kate. Lauren, thanks to you I damaged my brain not just by banging my head. It makes me want to cry because I liked the first two books in the series (they weren't some epic books, but they were enjoyable), but this book was so beyond crap and boring and repetitive that it made me want to stab myself to death with the cactus on my desk. On the plus side, there was some character development. Luce definatelly became more stupid and stubborn than she was in the previous books. I mean she was stupid enough to trust an ugly gargoyle with her life. Ok, let's say you're walking down the street in the middle of the night, and a van stops next to you. The window rolls down and a piss drunk asshole offers you a ride home. Would you say yes? Luce trusting that ugly-ass gargoyle was a hundred times stupider that saying yes to the piss drunk asshole to take you home. And every other page Luce kept talking about how pure and strong their love is - IT'S SICKENING!!! (Ok side note. If their love is so freaking strong why did she go on that fucking trip to the past?) And she always kept describing his chest all the time and how much she adores his washboard. What happened Lauren? Lost your writing talent in the imaginary Daniels abs? UGHHHH!!!! I'd like to talk about this one particular line in the book. "One day our love will conquer this dark cycle." (Daniel, p. 379 of the paperback edition I own) I am not joking, but this line made me laugh like a maniac until I started choking on air because that is the most stupid thing I ever heard anyone say. Bullshit, Daniel, BULLSHIT!!! Their love - or love in general - can not do anything other than be love. Love will not make a homeless guy rich. Love will not make me get into the university I want, so love will definitely not conquer a curse.
