For readers of Lauren Kate's Fallen series comes the sequel to The Beautiful and the Cursed, The Lovely and the Lost finds the Waverly sisters in mortal danger and able to trust no one.
Ingrid and Gabby Waverly moved to France expecting a quiet reprieve from London gossip, but the truth they face in their new home has a sharper-and deadlier-sting.
Paris is plagued by an underworld of demons and gargoyles who all seem to want something from the Waverly girls. Saving Ingrid's twin, Grayson, from the fallen angel Axia nearly killed them. And they're still being hunted-only this time, demons aren't their only predators.
Ingrid's blood is special: it bestows the power to command gargoyles. It's an ability no other human has, and in the wrong hands, it could be used to send her cursed guardian, Luc, and his fellow Dispossessed to extinction. There are those who will do anything to get Ingrid's blood-and they see no value in human life.
The Alliance has vowed to protect the Waverlys, and a new gargoyle has been assigned to guard their abbey home alongside Luc. But no one can watch over Ingrid, Gabby, and Grayson all the time-which means the three must learn to fight for themselves.
Because darkness follows the Waverlys. And sometimes darkness comes in the form you trust the most.

HERE IS MY INTERVIEW WITH THE LOVELY PAGE MORGAN. MAKE SURE YOU READ IT UNTIL THE VERY END FOR A SPECIAL SURPRISE :)
1. USING THE PHRASE, "THIS IS A STORY ABOUT...," SUPPLY FIVE WORDS TO DESCRIBE THE LOVELY AND THE LOST. FIVE WORDS? SO HARD! OK...THIS STORY IS ABOUT GARGOYLES, FAMILY DRAMA, AND IMPOSSIBLE LOVE. 2. WHICH CHARACTER IN THIS BOOK (MAIN OR SECONDARY) DID YOU ENJOY WRITING ABOUT? I REALLY LOVED GETTING TO KNOW GRAYSON BETTER IN THIS BOOK. HE HAD A MUCH SMALLER ROLE IN THE BEAUTIFUL AND THE CURSED (FOR OBVIOUS REASONS!) AND NOW THAT HE IS OUT OF THE UNDERNEATH, I HAD THE CHANCE TO DEVELOP HIM MORE FULLY. HE SURPRISED ME IN MANY WAYS! HE TURNED OUT TO BE LESS OF A PLAYBOY AND MORE OF A TORTURED SOUL. 3. WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO WRITE THE LOVELY AND THE LOST AND DID YOU HAVE A INSPIRATION BOARD I.E. PINTEREST THE DISPOSSESSED SERIES IS A TRILOGY, BUT I WANTED THIS SECOND BOOK TO BE MORE THAN JUST A "PLACE HOLDER" FOR THE SERIES. I WANTED IT TO STAND ON ITS OWN WHILE ALSO CONNECTING TO THE FIRST AND THIRD BOOKS, EXPANDING THE CAST OF CHARACTERS, AND DEVELOPING THEM FURTHER. I DO HAVE A PINTEREST ACCOUNT FOR THE SERIES! EACH CHARACTER HAS THEIR OWN BOARD WITH IMAGES THAT REMIND ME OF THEM. MY FAVORITE? NOLAN, OF COURSE! HTTP://WWW.PINTEREST.COM/PAGEMORGAN/ 4. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE LINE IN THE LOVELY AND THE LOST? OOOH, TOUGH ONE! IT'S A SHORT LINE FROM LUC, SPOKEN TO INGRID WHILE THEY ARE ALONE IN THE BELL TOWER OF THE ABBEY. "I "AM YOUR GARGOYLE." SIMPLE WORDS, BUT SPOKEN WITH DEEP EMOTION ON LUC'S PART. 5. IF THE LOVELY AND THE LOST WERE TURNED INTO A MOTION PICTURE AND YOU HAD CONTROL OVER WHOM WOULD BE CAST. WHO WOULD YOU PICK? I'M HORRIBLE AT CASTING CHARACTERS! BUT I DO KNOW I WOULD LOVE LUKE EVANS OR ERIC BANA TO PLAY MARCO. AND WILLA HOLLAND WOULD BE A FABULOUS GABBY. MATT BOMER OR LOGAN LERMAN AS LUC, PERHAPS. OH WAIT, I HAVEN'T MENTIONED IAN SOMERHALDER YET! HE COULD PLAY ANY CHARACTER-EVEN INGRID'S-AND I'D BE HAPPY, HA! 6. WHAT IS YOUR INSPIRED YOU TO BECOME A WRITER? I'VE ALWAYS LOVED WRITING AND READING. IT'S JUST A NATURAL THING FOR ME. I CAN'T IMAGINE "NOT" CREATING STORIES AND CHARACTERS. I'M INSPIRED BY EPIC FILMS AND PHOTOGRAPHY, HISTORICAL SETTINGS, AND LITTLE KNOWN PIECES OF HISTORY. I JUST ALWAYS WANT TO KNOW MORE, LEARN MORE, AND EXPLORE. 7. DO YOU HAVE SOUNDTRACK THAT YOU PLAYED DURING THE TIME THAT YOU WROTE THE LOVELY AND THE LOST AND COULD YOU SHARE THAT WITH ME? I DID HAVE A HANDFUL OF SONGS THAT HELPED ME PREPARE FOR EACH WRITING SESSION (THOUGH I CAN'T LISTEN WHILE WRITING). ALANIS MORRISETTE'S GUARDIAN WAS A BIG ONE FOR MY LUC SCENES. HALO BY BEYONC'e FOR GABBY AND NOLAN. A LOT OF CLASSICAL MUSIC FOR INGRID AND GRAYSON. THE MOULIN ROUGE AND GLADIATOR SOUNDTRACKS WERE ALSO ON REPEAT! 8. IF YOU COULD TRAVEL BACK TO PARIS AND REVISIT THE PLACES MENTIONED IN YOUR BOOK. WHERE WOULD YOU GO? I'D LOVE TO SEE THE NOTRE DAME AGAIN, AND THE EIFFEL TOWER. I LOVE THE HISTORIC WALKING TOURS IN THE LATIN QUARTER, AND I THINK I'D LIKE TO SPEND MORE TIME IN THE LUXEMBOURG GARDENS. ALSO, I DIDN'T GET TO VISIT THE BOIS DU BOULOGNE WHERE MONSIEUR CONSTANTINE'S FICTIONAL HOME IS SET, SO I'D LIKE TO GO THERE AS WELL. 9. DO YOU OWN ANY GARGOYLES? IF YES, HOW MANY DO YOU HAVE. I HAVE ONE! HE'S BOOKEND SIZE (DOG CASTE!) AND HE SITS ON A SHELF IN MY WRITING CABIN. AND YES, I'VE NAMED HIM LUC. 10. CAN YOU SHARE THE TITLE OF THE NEXT BOOK IN THIS SERIES? YES! IT'S ANNOUNCED IN THE END PAGES OF THE LOVELY AND THE LOST, SO I BELIEVE I CAN OFFICIALLY SHARE IT HERE WITH YOU AND YOUR READERS. THE CONCLUDING NOVEL IN THE DISPOSSESSED SERIES WILL BE......................... THE WONDROUS AND THE WICKED!
