The Fallen Stars By Stephanie Keyes

What They Say:

When all is lost, he will have to make the ultimate decision.

Kellen St. James was just your average seventeen-year-old prodigy, until he eighty-sixed the Lord of Faerie and proposed to a Celtic goddess. Now everything in Kellen’s life gets turned upside-down when Calienta, Kellen, and friend, Gabriel Stewart, find themselves on the run from a seriously irritated group of faeries. The worst part? They have zero idea why.

Suddenly, Kellen finds himself stuck in the middle of another prophecy that questions everything about him including where his loyalties lie. Plus, Calienta’s more than a bit different; she’s making choices that he doesn’t understand. And Gabe, his best friend? He’s started doing all sorts of freaky things that make Kellen question who he really is.

Kellen and Calienta will fight to stay together and keep the hidden part of the prophecy from becoming reality.

When the ultimate power is within reach, which side will he choose?

What I Say:

I would like to thank Jenny at Neverland Tours and Stephanie Keyes for sending me a copy of this book in exchange for a fair and honest review.

We catch up with Kellen and Calienta just as they are about to be married, but as with all stories things don’t go to plan and they just manage to escape with their lives.

On the run from with Kellen’s friend Gabe, they are don’t know why they faieries attacked or why they want Kellen, add to the fact that they are not sure who to trust, this makes this second book an excellent read.  This time we are travelling from Ireland, to London, to Leeds Castle and on to America.

As with the previous I couldn’t help but like Kellen and Calienta, now shortened to Cali.  I really liked Gabe and even though Kellen had kept things from him he was on his side.  There were plenty of times in this book when I didn't know who was on the side of light and who wa on the side of darkness.

As with The Star Child Stephanie tells you the story in such detail you feel like you are there, this book is written slightly differently to the first one as it is told from both Kellen and Cali’s POV in different chapters.  I loved how the first book was written but this gives you an insight into both of them which adds another side to this book.

I just need to decide now when I can fit book 3 into my reading schedule as I am dying to know the outcome of this story and the prophecies surrounding Kellen and Cali.
