Summary: Levi's job is to protect his human until it's their time to go. That's what a Guard does. He's done it for years on end, and he'll spend his eternity doing the same, mundane thing, following the same, mundane rules....Watch from afar....Never share your name....And above all, never touch a human.What Levi doesn't know is that his newest human to protect, Hannah, just might be the catalyst to tipping the scales between good and evil, and he will be forced to decide which side he belongs to. Which friends will he side with, and who will he ultimately protect: his human, or the delicate balance that hangs on stopping the heartbeat of the person he has sworn to protect?And, when you're already condemned, what's there to lose by breaking the rules?
ReviewWOW, Loved it, this book had me gripped from start to finish, Where do we start, well OK we will start with characters, We should start with Levi, our hero (wish someone was watching over me like him, yum yum) the story is told from his point of view, which I think is fantastic, too many books are written from the girls point of view, to have a guys perspective makes a great change, he is 101 year old guard, someone with black wings sent to look after certain souls in their human bodies until it is time for them to leave this Earth, this is where Hannah Gordon (your average high school student) comes in, she was his call, the one he has been sent to look after, unfortunately he seemed to break all the rules where she was involved, then we have Levi’s best friend another guard called Ethan, who seemed to be a bit of a playboy, but that added to his charm, I loved Ethan, he had most of the classic one-liners, he also had an answer for everything, would love to read his story especially what happens from about half way through this book, as he seemed to get more interesting, can’t say too much or I will end up spoiling it for everyone who wants to read it, but believe me he will definitely be worth reading about, then we have Angie, She is Hannah’s best friend and she was Ethan’s call, she was in it as a best friend in the beginning, just a mention here and there, but as the story progressed she had a more important part to play, there were other characters too but these are the main ones, I loved them all, The storyline was loosely based on Angels, I like that, it made a change, If you like winged things or rather people in your stories this is the book for you, The twists and turns that Levi had to go through for Hannah was astounding, could not put it down, just glad it was a sunny day, so the kids could go outside and play, The love that Levi had for Hannah was all consuming and occasionally I felt it made him a-bit wimpyish, but that only happened a couple of times, so it did not alter the story, He told his side, so I would like to believe all boys go through this stage at some point in their lives, We can only wish right girls? I can’t wait for book 2 I hope there will be a book 2 as its Guardian Chronicles, So I really hope there will be more, I am really looking forward to it. I would give this book a 4/5, you will be hooked from the start, Enjoy.
