Summary (via Goodreads)
How does a girl choose between the one who steals her heart and the one who owns her soul? 

Matt and Emily were created for a specific job. Raised and trained as the ultimate angel/warrior team, they are sent down to save, defend, judge and forgive, depending on the 'life' they've been assigned. What they don't realize is that the power of human emotions, such as love, anger, passion and fear can take over even the best of souls, causing them to make mistakes and follow paths that lead to confusion and heartache. 

When the reason for their training is finally revealed, the angel/warrior team find themselves thrust into a world they know nothing about. Matt takes over the life of Daniel, a young man with a great deal of baggage. Emily becomes Liz, a girl living in a remote village who relies on nothing more than her own strength to survive. A violent storm erupts one night, and framed in the window of Liz's establishment is a frightening face. Let in by the soul of a Good Samaritan, the two visitors bring with them a past full of secrets that could literally change an angel's path and a warrior's plans. 

From murder to redemption, this angel/warrior team must find a way to keep the faith they have in each other in a world that's ripping them apart.

My Thoughts: Wow. Let's just start out with that. Just from reading the summary, I was intrigued. Don't say you aren't too! I had never come across an idea quite like this, so props to the author for being original. Though, as I'm sure you can imagine, this does have it's religious feel to it. Particularly in the beginning, if you're unaware of aspects of religion (ie. heaven) it gets confusing. Though, to the author's credit, I think she helped out a lot with the explanation and once you're past that, it's pretty unforgettable. I absolutely loved the characters, and I connected to them so well. Emily was my favourite, she was just such an interesting character. Not quite sure why I loved her like I did, but that's what novels are all about! The author kept this fairly straightforward, and her writing style kept the flow of it. (You know the novels, were you just can't stand how the author writes? This definitely isn't one of them). Also, can I just say I really enjoyed the love aspect to it - although a bit Twilight-esqe at times, I thought it was what the book needed. To be completely honest with you - I really found nothing wrong with this book at all. It was so enjoyable, I'm almost sad it's over. 

Final Thoughts: You know those books where you wish the author would have published the whole series at once? This is definitely one of those. I will be on the look out for the rest of this talented authors works. If you never listen to anything I say on this blog, trust me on this, and pick yourself up a copy of this novel.

  2. Kristen - I do NOT know what to say. Thank you SO much for giving the angel/warrior team a place on your fantastic site - and in your mind - I am unbelievably humbled by your words. Matt and Emily are a big part of my life and I hope that readers out there will love them. And I will try to get Book II in your hands as fast as possible LOL.

  7. Just in case, if you feel that you may not be equipped with the Lactobacillus Acidophilus naturally, then it is a mandate that you consume the Lactobacillus Acidophilus supplements.
    If you want to avoid a severe condition, you need to
    take yeast infection medicine right away. There is disagreement about what foods can be added
    back into the diet and when, but common sense will help the reader
    to decide if they are ready to risk adding a controversial item
    to their diet.

  8. Cellulite is an unsightly dimpled appearance, especially around the thighs.
    Later, the skin will come into view smooth as lying down,
    but the dimpling will appear when standing. Activity and healthy diet will help
    one retain firm skin tone but it can’t guarantee that cellulite won’t appear.

  12. It is irrefutably an application of design, a procedure that when applied, a number of problems are resolved.
    Also, the credibility of these shopping carts
    make things more safe and secure for online buyers. Another important
    element of web design involves the visibility of the website.

  14. When we do not understand things we tend to make assumptions that are not always correct.

    The main reason is the gender-biased interpretation of the Qur'anic text by men of religion. and a 'passionate moderate' for religious tolerance").
