Review
Received this book in return for a honest review. The book is about Lil Falcon a sixteen year old girl, who just moved to town and has to start all over. She lives with her grandfather who has raised her since she was little, because her mother and grandmother died in a car accident. Having been raised as a gypsy all her life she's had a hard time fitting in at school and never really made friends before. As if being a teenager isn't hard enough she learns that she's not human but a guardian a demon hunter.
When Bran shows up asking for help getting his sister and brother from the demons. However he speaks to her using telepathy, causing Lil to think he's a ghost. Afteralking to Bran she learns about her abilities, that she's not just a human girl. She talks to her grandfather about what Bran had said and learns that she comes from a long line of Guardians who protect the humans from the soul harvesting demons. With this knowledge Lil is sent off to school, and told to keep her eyes out for the other guardian trainee's who will help her. Her first day she meets several human girls who become new friends as well as the guardian trainee's. Lil set's out to learn the powers that the guardian posses in hopes of being able to control them better, along the way she needs to fig ture out how to help Bran, and stop the demon queen.
I loved this book. It had my from the first page I was drawn in and couldn't put it down. Lil is this sweet shy girl that reminds me a lot of myself at that age. Throughout the book we watch Lil grow from a shy girl to a powerful set to save the world. I enjoy reading about Lil and Bran's growing chemistry. I really like the rest of the trainee's in Lil's guardian group at first I wasn't sure but the more I got to know them the more I started to like them.
The book has it all action, romance, fireballs, daggers and hot guys. The characters are well written I felt like I was with Lil though most of the book, and I love that when I read a book. I like the aspect of the guardians, how each one is different is unique in their gifts, and that it's a team effort. I just really loved this book, it was one of the best books I've read all year. I don't know what else I can say but it's an amazing book that didn't let me down and left me wanting more. I'm so lucky that I have the second book from the author I can't wait to start it.
