About the book

Synopsis

'Every single lifetime, I'll choose you. Just as you have always chosen me. Forever.'

Before Luce and Daniel met at Sword & Cross, before they fought the Immortals, they had already lived many lives. And so Luce, desperate to unlock the curse that condemns their love, must revisit her past incarnations in order to understand her fate. Each century, each life, holds a different clue.

But Daniel is chasing her throughout the centuries before she has a chance to rewrite history.

How many deaths can one true love endure?

And can Luce and Daniel unlock their past in order to change their future?

Twilight-style success could be on the cards for the fallen angel saga amid Disney film romours.
- The Bookseller

I enjoyed reading Passion as much as I enjoyed reading Fallen and Torment. I read it in 3 or 4 sittings and I already can't wait for Rapture,
- Notes of Life

The descriptive writing style managed to bring all of the different time periods to glorious life within my imagination...The romance between Luce and Daniel was enchanting to behold although at times felt voyeuristic with the intensity of the emotion portrayed...What can I say about the ending but OMGosh Lauren Kate has done it again, the cliff hanger to top that at the end of Torment. I have no idea how she sustains it. I cannot believe that I have to wait until Spring 2012 in order to find out what happens next.

The writing was beautiful. This book was sent from the heavens above. ...beautiful story burning with Passion. With love found from heaven and a curse sent from hell this will be the most magical book of the year.

Wow! Lauren Kate has completely raised the bar now for the fourth and final book. Passion was completely addictive that I managed to finish it within 24 hours. From page one you just know you're just going to love it as Lauren takes you on this exciting journey.
- Book Passion for Life

The writing was beautiful. This book was sent from the heavens above. The way Lauren Kate writes is so beautiful, and so... so perfect I just loved it...This is a beautiful story burning with Passion. With love found from heaven and a curse sent from hell this will be the most magical book of the year.
- Excellent Reads

For a history geek like me, this whole book was awesome.Passion is like the perfect game of cat and mouse through time...the beginning blew me away, and the rest of the book didn't disappoint. I can only hope that Rapture will be just as good, and I'm not going to enjoy waiting for it; I want it NOW.
- Cheezy Feet Books

A captivating story full or drama and emotions as well and one heck of a twist in that my god I never saw coming but it was pure genius and you are going to love it!!!
- Love Fantasy Sci-fi Novels

This is my favourite book by far. I really wanted to take my time with it but I just could NOT. STOP. READING and I couldn't possibly put the book down. I was literally racing through the book as Lucinda was racing through time.
- Narratively Speaking

With its rich, evocative descriptions, and lush, historical settings, Passion by Lauren Kate is a masterful work of art in book form. This book is detailed, sophisticated, wonderful in every way, and my favourite book of the series so far.
- Daisy Chain Book Reviews

Kate takes Passion to an entire new level.. her writing, style, well everything about this book is really magical. I absolutely loved reading Passion.. I cannot wait to read Rapture!
- Gripped Into Books

Passion is a fantastic third book in the series and one that was greatly needed. So much is explained and readers will get a great insight into the two main characters of the series, as well as a big chunk of back story. Of course, with a title like Passion, the book had to at least have some of that but I am glad to say, it has bucket loads.
- Heaven, Hell and Purgatory

The questions raised by the last two books are starting to pull together, and she ends with a real 'how the hell are they going to get out of this one?' cliffhanger which already has me excited for book four.
- Musings of a Bookshop Girl

I have said before that no-one writes love like Kate does - not as beautifully, nor as breath taking - and that's still the case in Passion. There were moments where I could have just died over how beautiful amazing and real it all was..Passion is a fantastic book! It's absolutely amazing and such a page turner! All Fallen fans should read it immediately. You do not want to miss out on this brilliant third instalment.
- Once Upon a Bookcase

As always Lauren Kate's writing is haunting and beautiful. In Passion fans of the series will get to find out the answers we've all been craving about the curse and Luce's reincarnations. Luce and Daniel's love is put to the ultimate test making for some very tender scenes between our star-crossed couple.
- Jess Hearts Books

PASSION is refreshing in a genre dominated by Stephenie Meyer's Twilight books...readers are treated to fascinating snapshots of history, from war-torn Moscow in 1941 to Shakespeare's London. A romantic but dark tale for teenagers.
- The Express

A gripping and intelligent take on an ancient theme, best read as part of the series to get the fully addictive effect.
- Katy Moran Book Reviews

It definitely left a big cliff-hanger and I am left very excited to read Rapture. 4 stars
- Books for Company

Overall I enjoyed Passion...there is a great cliffhanger that has got me eagerly awaiting the final book in the series. It is a series that has got everything from mystery, danger, suspense and eternal love. What more could you ask for? Passion is well worth reading.
