Don't ask me why I read this.
I haven't read any of the Fallen series and I never intended to. But after reading this collection of short stories, I'm thinking maybe it wouldn't be the worst thing to give the series a go. If I do though, I'll probably end up reading them in Dutch. Note: I also read this collection of novellas in Dutch.
I can't speak much for the short stories plot wise or in relation to the main series because I know nothing of it. But the characters were all nice enough and unique, and from what I saw of the angels and the world I would actually like to know a bit more. I can see how romance is going to feature a lot in the series but I kind of expect that of 'older' YA like this.
Conclusion: I might try this series at some point after all! We shall see...

I liked it way more than Fallen in Love.
FULL RATING: 2,92 stars
What Happened to Trevor: 2.5 stars (hmm, I can't understand what actually happened. Too confusing)
Arrianne's Day Out: 3 stars
Daniel in L.A.: 3 stars
Miles in the Dark: 2.5 stars (it's completely useless, it's nothing new)
Inside Francesca's Office: 2 stars
Cam Goes Hunting: 4 stars (Cam <3)
Luce and Daniel's Date: 3.5 (the end kind of surprised me, it was so unexpected and I liked it)

Honestly? This was better than the actual books. More substance, less cringe. Fun to see different perspectives.

Utterly unecessary. Adds nothing to the story, only serves to promote the author's new (at the time) series because they stuff a couple of preview chapters at the end.
But the only one to blame here is me and my completist tendencies and inability to leave books unread on my shelves and series unfinished. I suck.

Heeft helaas niet veel toegevoegde waarde aan de serie en is ook nog eens erg dun. Ik vond fallen in love wat dat betreft veel beter. Ik ben blij dat ik hem van de bieb heb geleend. Toch fijn dat ik hem nu wel heb gelezen, al had ik er meer van verwacht.

I can't believe that this is the last book, add-on to this series. I was in need of a quick read and this book was more than enough. Earlier this year I read the Fallen series, and though you don't often hear too many positive things about it, it's one of my favorite series. It's the book that made me fall in love with the concept of fallen angels. I am completely obsessed with angels now, and I intend to read any book that deals with them. It may surprise you, but this book got me interested in the Daughter of Smoke & Bone trilogy. So, I hold this series in high regards.
My thoughts on each short story
THIS REVIEW DOES HAVE SPOILERS!!! But, if you've read the ENTIRE Fallen series, you have nothing to worry about.
What Happened to Trevor: Finally. Finally. Finally! I was beginning to think that we were never going to get the full story. Luce vaguely told what happened, but now I am glad the mystery is put to rest.
Arriane's Day Out: I love Arriane. I think she's an awesome kick-ass character. I loved her since Fallen. But, what I love even more is Arriane and Roland together. They have such a great friendship, especially since they both are on opposing sides. You know, there are two types of Fallen angels. Some are on the good side with the hopes of returning to heaven (Arianne) and others are on the dark side because they don't agree with heaven's rules (Roland). It takes a strong friendship to endure something like that.
It was nice to see how excited Arriane was about Luce returning. Since I know how Arianne actually feels about Luce coming back and reuniting to Daniel, this just makes me want to read the first book again. Now that I've read the series in its entirety, maybe there were some things I didn't notice/understand then that makes a lot more sense now. I can't wait to read that series again. Also, this was my favorite story out of this little companion book.
*Plus, they mentioned Luce's favorite flower, no matter what time period she's in. Aren't these lovely?! (White Peonies)
Daniel in L.A: I really don't have much to say about this story. This story deals with the first time that Daniel and Shelby met. You know, when she made it known to Luce that she was "with" Daniel during the time period he was waiting for Luce's return. Nothing happened between Daniel and Shelby, of course. In fact, what Shelby told Luce in Torment is what made me really dislike her. I never liked her after that, even when she did finally come clean about how nothing really happened.
Miles in the Dark: I didn't too much care for this story. I don't too much care for Mile's and Shelby's relationship, either.
Inside Francesca's Office: This was a very short story, and I don't think it really brought anything to the original series. This was just Meh.
Cam Goes Hunting: Cam, another one of my favorites! In all honesty, I liked the majority of the characters in this series.
This story deals with Cam fighting that outcast at Shoreline. I didn't think there was much more to that storyline, but apparently so.
Also, I have a question. I always thought that in Fallen, once it was revealed who Cam Briel really was, that he was leading Luce on the entire time. But, maybe I'm wrong? Did he actually at one point have feelings for her, or was he only after Luce to spite Daniel?
There are two ideas I get from this. 1)Cam is lonely and he misses how close Luce and him had gotten. Or, 2) at some point Cam really did fall for her, but just left it alone because he knew they would never happen. Either way, it's kind of sad. Poor Cam.
Luce and Daniel's Date: I don't know when this story took place. But either way, it didn't really add anything either to the original series. Sure, I love the interactions between Daniel and Luce. I love them together, but this was just lacking.
Overall: This was a very nostalgic read for me. I loved jumping back into this world and loved remembering the characters that I fell for in the Fallen series. I felt that this book filled in all those missing pieces and now we're able to get the whole picture.

"You are spying on her." The girl jerked her blond head upward, toward the deck where—it was true—Lucinda was seated on a bench, looking striking in a rose-red sweater and her newly bleached hair. She was talking to some Nephilim friend, talking in the open, trusting way she used to talk to Cam. Her hazel eyes wide, her lips pursed with that old sadness. Cam could look at her all day.
(...)
"I'm protecting her from the likes of you," he spat. "There's a difference, baby, not that you'd be able to see it." He stole another glance at Luce.
(...)
"You will"—punch—"not"—knee snap—"get her."
The Outcast gagged as she coughed up one of her teeth and spat blood across Cam's T-shirt.
"Spoken like someone who never even had a chance."
He punched her again, right in the eye. "I did. You hear that, Outcast? I may have lost it, but I used to have a chance."
There are two ideas I get from this. 1)Cam is lonely and he misses how close Luce and him had gotten. Or, 2) at some point Cam really did fall for her, but just left it alone because he knew they would never happen. Either way, it's kind of sad. Poor Cam.

I just got this ebook and it about 7 short stories from the Fallen series.
1- What Happened to Trevor ★★★★★
This was intense and I loved this insight, I have always wondered what exactly happened in the beginning of the story. I think I just understood something (yeah, I'm too late) when Luce kissed Trevor in this lifetime, she broke whatever curse she and Daniel had, that's why Trevor burned, it was always Luce who burned and Daniel who stayed behind. That's why this time when she and Daniel finally met again and kissed she stayed.
2- Arrian's Day Out ★★★☆☆
I got to say Arrian always creeped me out, she is funny but crazy and out of control. I didn't know everyone knew exactly where Luce would appear, I thought it was random, after 17 years, somewhere somehow she will just enter the picture, because Daniel seemed surprised to me.
3- Daniel in L.A. ★★★☆☆
This is the story of how Daniel met Shelby and how he was thrusted into Sword & Cross. I felt sorry for him.
4- Miles in the Dark ★★☆☆☆
So Miles loves Luce, though Luce's love story is well-known to everyone in the angel circle, stupid move?
5- Inside Francesca's Office ★★☆☆☆
Rowland is in this one, he seems like a cast in Gossip Girl in my mind.
6- Cam Goes Hunting ★☆☆☆☆
This one was sort of disturbing, Cam spies on Luce and stalker her and he kills this person (an Outcast) and it was just scary and creepy.
7-Luce and Daniel's Date ★★★★★
Felt like Aladdin and Jasmine there for a second... they are cute together.

This is a collection of 7 short stories that take place in the world of Fallen, some take place before the books and some take place within the books.
There were 17 short stories/extras released through the years (at the back of a specific book edition or online), but only 7 of those were included in this collection. You can find all 17 in the correct reading order in the Fallen Wiki: https://fallen.fandom.com/wiki/Fallen...
I thought the Angels in the Dark collection was really good but I wish it included all 17 short stories. The stories are really short so the book reads super fast. I love Daniel's POV the most. It was nice to see Lucinda's life before Sword & Cross.
Daniel's First Sighting [not in Angels in the Dark]
This is a short story of Daniel's first meeting with Luce at Sword & Cross. I love Daniel's point of view. The series would've been better if he had more POVs throughout the series. We finally find out why he flipped her off 😭 I was laughing when I finished the story 😁
Before the Fire [not in Angels in the Dark]
This is a short story of Luce's life before the events of Fallen (book 1). She used to work as a mechanic for an Italian family. I thought they were really sweet to her. Luce being a mechanic and car enthusiast was unexpected as this isn't mentioned in the main series at all.

I grabbed this series when I was going through my first divorce.
I mean can we all just mention how amazing Daniel and cam are……
They got me though some tough times!
I wish they had continued with the movies as well! Would have been amazing!

If you've read the Fallen novels by Lauren Kate (and enjoyed them), then I highly recommend you pick up this novella compilation of all the shorts Kate has written. Somehow, I didn't know they existed at all, but then found this at my local library and scooped it up. It's a very short read; very well done, but it took me a minute to wrap my head around the first story because it's been a long time since I actually read the full series. But, these shorts brought it all back, and I loved getting reacquainted with the characters. In fact, I'm planning to re-read the full series again because this rekindled my love for the characters and their plights. It fills in some small gaps here and there, and it fleshes out some scenes in more detail as well, which I know any fan of the Fallen series will just love.

This is just a fun collection of about 8 really short stories. Maybe a 30-40 minute read tops. It was fun just thinking back in time to when each of these stories took place and seeing how they fit into the lives we glimpsed. Kind of makes me wish I had these in hand during the reading of the series. Either way it is a fun way to spend some time with the group again, even if it is a short little hop.

1.5 stars
these are random scenes that happens during random times during the books, I think these scenes are deleted from the books but they didn't want to waste them so they published it .. maybe the one I hate the least was Cam goes Hunting and Miles in the Dark, because I kind of like those two and Shelby out of everyone.
It's a good thing I was prepared for a trashy series otherwise I'm not sure if I can last this long

Dit boek is onderdeel van de serie ‘fallen’ en is een dun boekje met losse verhalen die in de serie niet benoemd worden. Aangezien in dit pas 3 jaar na het lezen van de serie gelezen heb, was het moeilijk om me te herinneren wie wie ook alweer waren. Buiten dat was het wel fijn om de achtergrond verhalen van bepaalde scènes te weten.

Honestly I don't even know does this count as a book? It was barely even 50 pages and the edition that I had didn't include at least have of the short stories. I really don't know what to think about these... Mostly they just made me more confused than I already was... Although I did like the one with Shelby and the one with Arriane and Roland.
September 25, 2016
Non conoscevo i protagonisti e le loro storie, mi serviva un libro fantasy e questo mi è capitato tra le mani. Si legge velocemente e i racconti non mi sono dispiaciuti. Valore letterario naturalmente 0 (lo so, sono una persona orribile!).
July 17, 2014
This was an amazing extra to all the characters I loved from the Fallen books!
March 6, 2015
Oh, loved these short stories, loved these looks into the series! Need to read more!

geen meerwaarde aan de serie.. maar we weten nu wel wat er met trevor gebeurde... ongeveer toch... niet echt een aanrader

A nice addition to the Fallen series. Took me less than half an hour to read but I still quite loved it.

2.5
This was okay but the fact that the last 30% is an excerpt should tell you how short the actual book was.

Estos relatos son muy dispares.
Hay algunos que sólo sirven para que conozcas más los sentimientos de alguien o para contar alguna anécdota. Pero hay otros que realmente son necesarios para entender ciertas cosas que pasan en la historia principal. Es como el libro de 'La eternidad y un día', por eso no entiendo que no haya una publicación de estos relatos en español, como sí existe un libro en inglés que los contiene todos.
Los relatos correspondientes al primer libro son, en su mayoría, para entender un poco más a nuestros ángeles, exceptuando los dos últimos que hablan sobre el incidente de Trevor. Aún así, como ya dije al actualizar, no terminaron de resolver lo que pasó con Trevor exactamente.
Los relatos correspondientes al segundo libro también iban en la misma línea de entender más a algunos personajes, aunque revelaban ciertas cosas interesantes y relevantes para la historia: lo que pasó realmente con Shelby y Daniel y la conversación en la oficina de Francesca son dos ejemplos claros. Estos relatos me parecieron bastante importantes para la trama.
Los relatos correspondientes al tercer libro ya dan más pistas para entender ciertos aspectos de la historia, sobre todo el de Daniel.
El relato de 'La eternidad y un día' es simplemente una muestra más del sufrimiento y la culpabilidad de Daniel por la maldición, lo cual no lo hace menos maravilloso, porque nos hace quererlo aún más.
El último relato, correspondiente al cuarto libro, es el que más me ha sorprendido. Creía que sería un relato para que Daniel y Luce tuviesen algún momento romántico durante el libro, porque no hay mucho tiempo para disfrutar de su amor con todo lo que pasa, un relato para que pudiesen ser sólo un chico y una chica normales y enamorados durante un rato antes de que se desatase todo el caos.
SIN EMBARGO el final del relato me ha dejado boquiabierta. Daniel le pregunta a Luce sobre su época época Dover y cuando ella hace un resumen escueto y una mención a la muerte de Trevor, por fin, ¡POR FIN! Daniel nos da una explicación.
FUE EL MALDITO LUCIFER. Se aprovechó de la primera vez que Luce se fijaba en otro chico que no fuese Daniel e intentó asustarla para que sintiera que si quería a algún chico, lo mataría y ni se atraviese a fijarse en Daniel ni a enamorarse de él. Un truco absurdo a manos de un desesperado muerto de celos.
Le iba a dar 3 estrellas a este 'libro' porque me ha aportado información y me ha entretenido, pero tampoco era para tirar cohetes... Hasta este final que me ha dejado impactada y ha respondido a mi mayor duda de toda la saga de una vez por todas.

Overall a 4/5 stars but I had to rate each separately.
* What Happened to Trevor: 3/5 stars. I feel like it wasn’t really necessary to give us this. We already knew what had happened so it felt like filler really but it was nice to see the kind of person Trevor was. Not that he deserved what happened to him but he wasn’t the nicest guy either.
* Arriance’s Day Out: 4/5 stars. I loved seeing a glimpse into how things were right before Luce arrived at Swords & Cross.
* Daniel in L.A.: 4/5 stars. It was so interesting to see what Daniel was doing right before Sword & Cross. It was even more interesting to see Daniel and Shelby’s meeting and what that past looked like. I feel like it was absolutely nothing in comparison to what the books make it seem like, or what Shelby made it seem like.
* Miles In The Dark: 3/5 stars. It was nice to see inside Miles’ head for a second but it still doesn’t make sense how he basically just proved he lived Luce and just gives up because of Daniel’s longer and stronger love for her? Eh.
* Inside Francesca’s Office: 5/5 stars. Who knew such a short little peak inside Francesca’s mind would reveal so much. First, although her love for her demon partner is there, she too can’t deny the wrongness she feels in it or embarrassment in this case. Also, they knew exactly what they were doing showing those announcer’s in class!
* Cam Goes Hunting: 3/5 stars. Although interesting to see what occurred right before Luce saw Cam that day, it wasn’t really necessary. We knew he cared about her so nothing was revealed there and we got enough Outcast fighting starring Cam when Luce snuck out thinking she was meeting Daniel.
* Luce and Daniel’s Date: 5/5 stars. It was nice to peak inside Luce’s “date” or so called dream giving us another taste of Luce and Daniel’s eternal love.
* What Happened to Trevor: 3/5 stars. I feel like it wasn’t really necessary to give us this. We already knew what had happened so it felt like filler really but it was nice to see the kind of person Trevor was. Not that he deserved what happened to him but he wasn’t the nicest guy either.

I feel like it was absolutely nothing in comparison to what the books make it seem like, or what Shelby made it seem like.
* Miles In The Dark: 3/5 stars. It was nice to see inside Miles’ head for a second but it still doesn’t make sense how he basically just proved he lived Luce and just gives up because of Daniel’s longer and stronger love for her? Eh.
* Inside Francesca’s Office: 5/5 stars. Who knew such a short little peak inside Francesca’s mind would reveal so much. First, although her love for her demon partner is there, she too can’t deny the wrongness she feels in it or embarrassment in this case. Also, they knew exactly what they were doing showing those announcer’s in class!
* Cam Goes Hunting: 3/5 stars. Although interesting to see what occurred right before Luce saw Cam that day, it wasn’t really necessary. We knew he cared about her so nothing was revealed there and we got enough Outcast fighting starring Cam when Luce snuck out thinking she was meeting Daniel.
* Luce and Daniel’s Date: 5/5 stars. It was nice to peak inside Luce’s “date” or so called dream giving us another taste of Luce and Daniel’s eternal love.

No esperaba mucho porque es un libro de relatos cortos, pero unos fueron demasiado cortos y no aportaron absolutamente nada a la historia.
Las calificaciones individuales:
What happened to Trevor: 1⭐️
No entendí qué le pasó a Trevor. O sea, no me dijo nada que no supiera ya. Completamente innecesario o incompleto.
Arriane's Day Out: 3⭐️
Mi favorito de esta recopilación. Es bonito ver el cariño que le tiene Arriane a Luce, y cómo los demás ángeles viven los regresos de Luce. Además, explica un poco mejor por qué Daniel era distante y grosero con Luce al principio.
Daniel in LA: 2.5⭐️
Me confundió un poco, porque no recordaba que Shelby y Daniel se conocieran. Pero estuvo entretenido y me dio un poco más de contexto sobre Shelby.
Miles in the Dark: 1⭐️
El más innecesario de todos. No sé ni por qué existe.
Inside Francesca's Office: 1⭐️
No me dio nada nuevo
Cam Goes Hunting: 2⭐️
Nunca he shippeado a Luce y Cam, y después de leer El Retorno de los Caídos , los shippeo aún menos. Aún así, siempre es lindo leer sobre Cam.
Luce and Daniel's Date: 2.5⭐️
Me encanta fangirlear sobre Luce y Daniel ❤️ le iba a dar más, pero no me gusta que nunca mencionan explícitamente quién es el responsable de la muerte de Trevor (tuve que venir a las reseñas para encontrar la respuesta). Solo te permite intuir que fue Lucifer, pero la verdad, había mucha gente celosa de Daniel y Luce.
Calificación general: 1.8⭐️
No me arrepiento de leerlo, ojalá lo hubiera leído en cuanto terminé la saga. Pero no creo que sean muy necesarios.

Angels in the Dark es otro libro complementario de la saga Oscuros (al igual que La oscuridad y un día).
En esta ocasión el libro cuenta con sesenta páginas (en digital) que juntan siete mini relatos cortos y contenido exclusivo de la nueva saga de Lauren Kate "La última lágrima".
Los títulos que contiene está edición son:
👀 ¿Qué le pasó a Trevor?
🌈 El día de Arrriane
😶🌫️ Daniel en Los Ángeles
❤️🩹 Miles en la oscuridad
🏡 Dentro de la oficina de Franchesca
🏹 Cam va de caza
🐫 La cita de Luce y Daniel
Las historias abarcan distintos momentos a lo largo de la saga. Tenemos la historia de cómo murió Trevor, Arriane preparando todo para la llegada de Luce a Espada y Cruz, el primer encuentro entre Daniel y Shelby, los sentimientos de Miles por Luce, Franchesca y su inquietud respecto a Luce y el destino de todos ellos, Cam cazando proscriptos en los terrenos de la escuela de la costa y protegiendo a Luce, y una cita "no cita" de San Valentín entre Daniel y Luce.
Lo leí en digital porque claramente este libro no está publicado en forma física al menos no en Argentina ni en español. Se lee rápido, los relatos realmente son demasiado cortos y enganchan. El libro perfecto para cerrar esta saga (que me acompañó durante exactamente un mes) de forma divertida y entretenida sin tanta nostalgia.
Se puede leer después de La última maldición en cualquier orden entre La oscuridad y un día y El retorno de los caídos.

Je leert over Luce haar verliefdheid voor Daniel . Het boek is gebaseerd op een vervolg van andere boeken wat het lastig maakt in het begin. Het is een zeer interessant boek voor jongeren tussen de 15-18 jaar.
Het verhaal speelt zich af in een bos waar ze zoenend op een bed belanden de twee geliefden en jongeren van die leeftijd maken dat wel af en toe mee. Tijdens het verhaal maken ze nog een aantal spannende acties mee.Waardoor je wel verdiept in het boek en met spanning verder leest. Ook op het einde van het verhaal gebeurd er nog iets spannend namelijk een brand maar daar eindigt het een beetje wat jammer is. Het boekje heeft totaal maar vijfenvijftig pagina’s en dat is iets wat ik wel jammer vind. Ik had graag een langer verhaal gelezen wat er precies gebeurd, ook na de brand. Dit boek is perfect voor jonge lezers die niet zo graag lezen het boek stimuleert je wegens de kleine hoeveelheid pagina's maar eens je klaar bent verlang je nog wel naar een vervolg en dat maakt dit boek zo bijzonder.
Ik ga zeker eens kijken of ik een vervolg kan vinden voor verder in het loop van het jaar.
