(Just a quickie comment from my second read 5/26/13)
Okay, so I was only going to do a reread of the Michael parts of the series, but I couldn't find my copies of Demon Angel or Falling for Anthony in paper so I started here, and Savi caught me - I'd forgotten how much I liked the oddball brilliant, geeky, vibrant combo that is her and how much she manages to slip through Colin's shields

A pleasant surprise (review from first read 8/27/2007)

After reading The Guardians: Demon Angel (Book 2) (Berkley Sensation), I just couldn't see how Colin could possibly make an appealing hero, he just seemed so shallow and self absorbed. Somehow Meljean Brook manages to pull it off. Savi (Hugh's adopted sister) is the perfect foil for Colin, she is as brilliant as he is beautiful and the seemingly doomed courtship between them has humor as well as heat. Surprisingly, the reason behind Colin's vanity and the apparent hopelessness of his love for Savi, make him a fine tortured hero and give him the depth needed to be worthy or Savi's love.

Where Demon Angel was really two books in one - covering eight hundred years and building the world of the guardians, demons and vampires - Demon Moon was much more focused, with events pretty much occurring during about a six month period. So the reviewers who complained about the lengthy prolog in the first book, should have no problem with this one. Demon Moon stands alone pretty well, but if you'd like to get the most out of it you should read Demon Angel, and then the short story Falling for Anthony in Hot Spell )(even though it was supposed to be the first in the guardian series it was far more enjoyable after having read Demon Angel). Falling for Anthony, is about Colin's sister and has the story of how he became a vampire, and knowing the back story makes certain scenes in Demon Moon more poignant.

The one area where the author could improve a bit is in setting up her next book. As I mentioned earlier, I was unsure about whether I really wanted to read a book about Colin based on his appearance in Demon Angel and while Drifter, the hero of her next book Demon Night did appear in this book, his role was very minor and didn't whet my appetite for more. ...more

This is book 2 in the Guardian Series. Based on a recommendation from the author, I started reading the Guardian Series with book 3, and read and really enjoyed the series. So I decided to go back, and pick up the back story with book 1 (which is not available on kindle!!!) and book 2. Book 1 was rather long and convoluted, but Demon Moon was very much like the rest of the series, and I really loved it. While you could probably skip book 1 completely, there was actually alot in there that I thou ...more

Comecei a ler este livro, sem grandes expectativas e com o desejo de querer "despachá-lo". Tinha tido grandes dificuldades na compreensão do Damon Angel e sabia que, quanto mais depressa ultrapassasse este livro (considerado por alguns fãs da saga e mesmo por indicação da autora, difícil), mais depressa poderia apreciar o resto da saga. Isto pode parecer um pouco cruel mas, quando temos uma estante que parece crescer de dia-para-dia, em vez de diminuir, há alturas do ano em que não o interessa o ...more

ไม่อีกแล้วที่แม็กซ์จะสงสัยเคลือบแคลงคำแนะนำของผู้รู้ (คงรู้ตัวนะว่าแม็กซ์หมายถึงตัวเอง) ที่คำแนะนำให้แม็กซ์อ่านหนังสือไม่เคยพลาด

ไม่อีกแล้วที่แม็กซ์จะด่วนสรุปก่อนข้อเท็จจริงทั้งหมดจะถูกวางอยู่ตรงหน้า

ไม่อีกแล้วที่แม็กซ์จะพูดว่าหนังสือของเมลจีน บรู๊คยาวเกินไป

หนังสือหนา 471 หน้าของเรื่อง Demon Moon เป็นสี่ร้อยกว่าหน้าที่สั้นเกินไปด้วยซ้ำสำหรับการได้รู้จักกับคอลิน เอมส์-โบมองค์

แวมไพร์อายุสองร้อยปี และไม่เคยเสียใจ หรือขอโทษในสิ่งที่เขาเป็น

คอลินเป็นแวมไพร์ที่ต่างจากแวมไพร์ทั่วไป เขาเกิดจากสิ่งมีชีวิตที ...more

Some books are good and make me feel happy (Twilight), some are well written and cause me to feel strong emotions (Time Traveler's Wife) and some are just so good - they are classics I'll read over and over (Dune). And many are so fun to read and down-right sexy (Nalini Singh, Gena Showalter, Larissa Ione... I love paranormal romance). For me, this book is all of those in one. I was just blown away.

Colin and Savi are truly a match made in heaven (or Caelum). Meljean has developed two wonderful ...more
