Firstly, a massive thank you to Courtney for sending me a review copy of Guardian!
To be honest, I've lost track of how many of Courtney's books I've actually read now, but each and everyone of them I thought were brilliant and Guardian is no exception to that!

Guardian was nothing like what I had expected. Surprisingly book description very much fits the story, but prior to reading the description would have been viewed in a very different context. The main character is a young girl name Whitney. She is a very strong and admirable young girl. I was impressed by her character's dedication and drive; especially when it comes to her family. In the wake of losing her father, in tragic rescue attempt, she doesn't miss a beat; just picks up and carries the...more
If you want a recap of the book, read the synopsis. This book is great for younger teen readers. Strong female character, exploration of religion and spiritual beliefs without going into televangelist mode, all made for a nice quick read for an adult, for teens I'm positive it'd be a much more satisfying, and more intense read.
This was a really great read! Excellent plot and characters and different from the normal paranormal romance! The author is so good at what she does...I love it when the reading is effortless and you're free to get involved in the mystery unfolding! I would rate it 4.5 stars...and I loved the underlying message of the existence of God and goodness and life after death...refreshing!
I liked the story, the plot and yes, even the characters. I guessed what would happen and I was right, ha. But oh well, the book was actually a breath of fresh air for me.
Keep it up, Courtney,
