For fans of Lauren Kate's Fallen series comes the exciting conclusion to the trilogy that includes The Beautiful and the Cursed and The Lovely and the Lost. The Waverly sisters must save themselves before all is lost.
Since the Waverlys arrived in Paris, the streets have grown more fearsome by the day. As Ingrid learns to master her lectrux gift, she must watch Axia's power grow strong enough to extend beyond her Underneath hive. By all indications, the fallen angel's Harvest is near-and the timing couldn't be worse.
Targeted by vengeful gargoyles, Gabby has been exiled to London for her own protection. Meanwhile, the gargoyle castes are in disarray, divided between those who want Luc to lead them and those who resent him and his fondness for humans. The Alliance is crumbling from the inside as well, its members turning against one another, and possibly against the Waverlys, too.
Axia has promised that the world will burn. And now, unable to trust the Alliance, separated from Luc, Gabby, and her twin, Grayson, Ingrid is left to face the demon uprising alone.
Now on to the post!
Choosing my top five scenes from the series was a challenge! Every scene I wrote had importance and a reason for being there, but yes there were some I loved more than others. Here they are—and you may notice a theme throughout!
5.) In The Lovely and the Lost, when Nolan charmed Gabby into entering an old confession booth with him, and well…kissing happened. Despite the fact that Nolan has taken Gabby into a confessional to kiss her senseless, he’s an honorable man, and he promises her he will remain a gentleman. The scene really shows Gabby realizing this about him. I think this is where she really falls in love with him.
4.) The first chapter in The Wondrous and the Wicked, when Marco saves Ingrid from the Alliance assassin. It’s no secret that Marco is my favorite character from this series. I loved writing him as a protector—he is one fierce gargoyle!
3.) In The Lovely and the Lost, when Luc and Ingrid are alone in the bedroom at gargoyle common grounds. I’m sure you can all figure out WHY I loved writing that scene! They can only go so far in show their affection for one another, and this scene has them pushing the limits.
2.) In The Beautiful and the Cursed, when Luc and Ingrid are in the abbey and he shows her what he is for the first time. I loved writing his transformation and her reaction to it. She doesn’t shy away from him, like he expects. That’s where Luc first realizes this human is going to be trouble!
1.) The last chapter of The Wondrous and the Wicked. Because I wrote the whole series to be able to write that scene. No spoilers, sorry!
Woot I loved this Page and #5 happens to be a personal favorite of mine! Also if the readers want to read that scene from Nolan's POV I had Page here for the blog tour last year and she wrote it for me go HERE to read it!
Page Morgan is the author of the young adult Gothic thriller, THE BEAUTIFUL AND THE CURSED and its upcoming sequel, THE LOVELY AND THE LOST. She became intrigued by gargoyles when she came across an old, black-and-white photograph of a Notre Dame gargoyle keeping watch over the city of Paris. Right away, she knew she had to tell that gargoyle's story. Page lives in New England with her husband and their three daughters, along with an English Pointer puppy, an arrogant cat, two surprisingly cuddly bearded dragons, and a brood of chickens.
