Dracones Guardian (Dracones Book 6)
By: Sheri-Lynn Marean
5 out of 5 stars
The story Dracones Guardian (Dracones Book 6) by Sheri-Lynn Marean is a wonderful paranormal/fantasy book. From the very beginning, I was drawn to the characters and the storyline. It has action, danger, magical beings, and romance. I loved reading about the characters of Zander and Chloe. Zander is an archangel who is protective of his children. He is handsome, loyal, and fierce. He is unprepared for what he feels after meeting his next-door neighbor Chloe. Chloe is a kind, caring, and intelligent woman. She also feels something when she first meets Zander. There is an attraction that is only growing stronger. Their worlds both hold danger. Things are not always as they seem to be. Will Zander take a chance and move forward with his feelings for Chloe? How much danger does a new enemy that has arisen bring? Read this book to find out. This story does a wonderful job of building a world that has supernatural beings. There are many characters that are introduced and that I enjoyed finding out about who they are and their part in the story. There are also twists and turns that I didn’t see coming. The book had my emotions going up and down the entire time I was reading it. This is a book that I loved reading and I found that I didn’t want to put it down until I had read the final page. Highly recommended.
If you love adult supernatural fantasy, then this book is definitely for you! Chloe moves into a remote area of Washington state with her new husband Jeff and is greeted by a very handsome mysterious neighbour Zander. Some years later, Zander and his family help Chloe and her daughter Lilly in their time of need, and she learns a lot more about their supernatural family. Zander is a fallen angel who has sworn to protect his family, but will his attraction to Chloe get in the way?
A fab book with lots of twists and turns. I liked the world building and the different supernaturals and the descriptions of their worlds – Especially Heaven. I thought Zander sounded fabulous and Chloe was a strong and capable woman who had been beaten down by life and needed another chance to shine. Fab message and great storyline. I am thrilled to discover there are more books in this series.
This is the first book that I have read by this author and I enjoyed it. It is a paranormal story that kept me flipping page after page. The main characters are what make this story a good one. I just couldn’t help but like Zander and Chloe. They had amazing chemistry and I was eager to see where their story was headed. I am looking forward to reading more books by this author and I would recommend this to a friend.
What an amazing book! Dragons, paranormal, soul mates, fantasy… it had me riveted from beginning to end. It felt very complete with lots of thoughtful detail that allowed the reader to dive deep into this universe whether reading as a stand-alone or in series order. The characters were richly outlined and relatable. Definitely a recommended read!
There is a great story here, but I feel as though it’s buried under so much “but wait there’s more” that it just feels over done. I love a good supernatural story and I was excited for this book, but there was just so much going on and it took me so long to wade through it that I honestly just wanted to give up, but I didn’t. It was like the author had fifteen ideas and decided to throw them all into the first five chapters which made it difficult to see the charm of the characters and appreciate the adventure of the story. That being said, I found the base story riveting, the characters enthralling, and I kept reading to see what happened. This may not have been my cup of tea but I think that it is perfect for people who like a lot going on in a story and can keep track of it all.
I give Dracones Guardian: Dark Dragon by Sheri-Lynn Marean, 5 stars.
Zander spent many years as a warrior archangel in heaven. When he is sent to earth to keep the fallen in line, the one thing he never thought possible happens — he finds true love and starts a family. But his happiness does not last long, he knows he will never love another woman, so he puts all his focus in his children. When he happens to meet his new neighbor — a human female — he starts to feel things he has not felt in a long time. But he had his one true love. Besides, he doesn’t want to put this fragile human in danger. When events happen, she just may be in peril. Can he find love again? What about the enemy that swears to defeat his kind? Can they all live happily ever after? Is there such a thing?
This was an amazing book! I assumed it was your typical paranormal romance, but I was so pleasantly surprised. There is so much going on in this book. The action, the suspense, the grief, plus happiness and love — it is all there. And the characters are incredible!! Not just the main ones, but the cast of secondary characters are just as great. I hope to learn more about them in future books.
This book has some heavy scenes and romance, but it is such a well-rounded book the if you like urban fantasy, you will be hooked. I cannot wait to read the next in the series and highly recommend this book.
Dracones Guardian by Sheri-Lynn Marean a four-star read that will give you wings. This is number six in the series, but it can be read as stand-alone, I haven’t read all of the series and don’t feel like I’ve missed anything. This one has it all, romance and drama with fantasy thrown in for good measure. It’s a story filled with ups and downs, enough drama and passion to keep you hooked but not enough that its overdone. Due to the ups and downs you do need to read closely and pay attention to the story to keep up, but if you do it’s a good read. I don’t want to give spoilers as the story is worth reading.
This book took me by surprise. At the start i found it hard to get into as there are so many characters, however i am so glad i kept reading. It turned into an amazing adventure and romance, full of action.
Zander is an angel who lives on earth protecting his family and other supernatural beings from harm.
One day a human enters his life with her daughter and her daughter isn’t all that she seems. So starts the dangerous adventure involving heaven and hell and shows that sometimes to save the ones you love you have to leave them
Dracones Guardian: Dark Dragon was a great 5 star read. This is a great paranormal/fantasy romance. Once I started I couldn’t put it down.
This is a great story with Zander and Chloe. Zander is an archangel committed to keeping people safe from fallen angels. When he ends up on earth he has his children to keep safe. Than he meets Chloe. There is something about her that draws him in. The thing is, she is human. Things take a serious turn when an enemy makes themselves known.
Can Zander keep everyone safe? Can he have more with Chloe?
My emotions were all over the place. The author did a great job with the detail and pulling you right into the scenes, I felt like I was right there at times. All of the secondary characters added a great element to the story. You can read as a stand alone but I suggest reading the books prior to this one, you will connect better with the characters. I can’t wait to read more from this author and series.
A great read about duty . Zander is an archangel bound by duty to protect world’s from fallen angels. Over time, he spends his days guarding different worlds. Eventually, he ends up on Earth with a family of his own.. When trouble brews and danger lurks, can he protect his family?
A great read. Well developed plot with twists and turns that I just couldn’t put down. Well developed characters like Zander torn between duty and his heart or Chloe standing up for herself but kind underneath. Great cast of supporting characters like the kind Tierney or the quiet Jax.
I loved the visual detail throughout the novel especially wirh the scenes in Heaven with the floating clouds and grand golden doors for a sense of grandeur and majesty. Or the vivid colours of the wings in blacks and golds and reds bright and bold and beautiful full of detail for a sense of awe and magic.
I loved the sense of world building with magical beings with their own society with its rules and laws
The use of dates in chapter titles worked well to display how much time passed and was s great addition. The only issue I would raise is that the childlike narrative of Genna didn’t fit to the rest of the novel and distracted from the main narrative. Overall, a great read and I would give it five stars.
Dracones Guardian by Sheri-Lynn Marean
5-stars
Wow! I don’t even know where to begin with this one! This was my first book by Sheri-Lynn Marean but I can assure you it won’t be my last. I thoroughly enjoyed this book from start to finish. Dracones Guardian is a one of a kind read, it’s incredibly detailed, almost to the point of being overwhelming, action-packed, dark, twisted and addicting. This storyline really intrigued me, and I ended up speeding through this book because I couldn’t bring myself to stop.
I loved the flow of this story, it flowed so well even with the many POV’s. Generally, I’m not the biggest fan of multiple POV’s because it can be hard to follow, however, this author did it in a great way, all of the detail made it easy to follow.
Now that I’ve read this book I can’t wait to dive into my next book by this phenomenal author.
Dracones Guardian is an urban fantasy, and the sixth book in Sheri-Lynn Marean’s Dracones series.
Zander is an angel, living on Earth with his ever-growing family of supernatural creatures. When he is seriously injured, he has to learn to rely on others and accept offers of help.
Escaping from an abusive relationship, Chloe is reluctant to trust others and isn’t used to the kindness and generosity she finds in Zander’s family. Even more unfamiliar to her are the extraordinary people around her who can turn into wolves, leopards and even dragons.
For me, this book had a bit of an X Men feel to it with the way Zander had built up his family of supernatural creatures. There’s a well-established system of magic and history that’s easy enough to follow without having read the other books.
At times, the narrative jumps forward in time. Sometimes this is understandable – particularly the bigger jumps of many years, but at other times it felt like we were skipping over bits of the story that would have been interesting to read.
For me, this is a four star book. I’d recommend it to fans of stories with large found families, and paranormal romances. There are mentions and descriptions of abuse, including child and domestic abuse.
This is not my first book by this author. I was excited to read it because…you know..dragons. What I got was a life story/history story on angels, dragons, and humans. I have not read any other books in this series but I am wondering if all the tidbits I am reading have to do with their stories. It’s full of matings and soul mates. It starts many…many years ago and goes to the present. I can’t even count the number of characters but let’s just say it’s large…very large. It was a bit hard to follow with all the different names popping in and out. Trying to place them with who and what they are caused me to create a list. A couple times stuff happened and we just come in for the aftercare. So this might be better if you have read the rest of the series or some of the other stories.
The story mainly follows Zander from archangel days to now him living on earth. He was mated, created children and adopted others. His house now is full of children, mates, friends and new acquaintances. His life has changed as he is now single. Once the human neighbor moves into the house everyone’s lives take a turn.
This story is full of all the paranormals. From Were-animals to phoenixes to angels. While this mainly follows Zander and Chloe. There are a multitude of other stories that all intermix.
Dracones Guardian (Dracones Book 6) by Sheri-Lynn Marean
4 Stars
This is book six in the Dracones Series. I suggest that you read the others prior to reading this book. I hadn’t and I was confused quite often. It would have been good to know the history behind the characters. Characters appeared in this novel which seemed like I should have known but didn’t and not much explaining as to who they were therefore I wished I had read the rest of the series.
That being said, the story turned out to be good, once the confusion of the beginning ended. At the start of the book, we learn Zander’s history and the reasons why he left heaven. The story then skips thousands of years where we meet Chloe and learn of the attraction between her and Zander. Without any warning, the story skips ahead seven years later and chaos ensues. Chloe has a daughter and Zander was rescued from a kidnapping and there is a pack of werewolves living in his house. For me, the story actually starts here. From this point on, the book is quite entertaining and I liked it a lot. I loved Zander’s character. He was caring, loyal and a protector. He was also strong, loving and passionate. I liked Chloe’s character as well and thought they were a good match. I liked many of the secondary characters as well, my favourite being Genna. I think she deserves her own book, there are many layers to this character.
Aside from the confusion in the beginning, I really enjoyed the book. It was filled with romance, mystery and danger along with angels, demons and dragons. It had many unique characters who added to the story.
Dracones Guardian (Dracones Book 6) by Sheri-Lynn Marean is a paranormal fantasy that continues into the Dracones series. This story held the perfect mix of suspenseful elements. Zander and Chloe were an interesting collaboration in this story that kept me entertained and fully engrossed in this novel. Anticipation was high in this story wondering which direction was going to unfold next. Excellently written along with the fantastic story line and entertaining while including the danger lurking. Sheri-Lynn Marean has outdone herself in this particular story compared to the previous one(s) that I have read in this series. Amazing imagery, character dynamic and story telling.
Dracones Guardian: Dark Dragon, Archangel Paranormal Fantasy Romance, Book Six, by Sheri-Lynn Marean
5-Stars
Dracones Guardian is the sixth book in this series. It is the first book I have read from this series. I was a little confused at first, but felt the author did an excellent job providing some back story to help me understand the storyline. I do feel that it would make more sense reading books one through five. I lived main characters Zander and Chloe. They were easy to fall for and I loved their development as the story progressed. I felt that the storyline was easy to follow and full of excitement. This was a creative novel and I highly recommend it. I will definitely be reading more from this author.
Dracones Guardian by Sheri-Lynn Marean is apart of the Dracones series but it can be a stand alone book. Marean can pull me as the reader fully into the story from the very beginning. One thing that I really like about Paranormal/Fantasy stories is that it can be base on any location or any type of character. This, to me is what makes the genre exciting. This particular story is about Zander an Arcangel that is on earth to keep everything even between good and evil. He found his first love and had children and his life was fulfilled. That was until his love and children perished and that almost killed him. Now he has Chloe across the street and his world is a changing again. Will Zander start a relationship with Chloe or will he keep to himself? Will there be trials for Chloe and Zander? What will the outcome be? How much would you sacrifice for love?
Dracones Guardian: Dark Dragon by Sheri-Lynn Marean is the sixth book in this series. It can be read as a stand-alone however I do feel that, for background story, it would be best to read these books in order.
This book was amazing. It was such an interesting story, full of twists and turns. I found myself on the edge of my seat for most of it, turning the pages faster and faster in my attempt to consume this book. I had to know what was going on, I had to read more.
Zander and Chloe were just brilliant. You really get behind these characters. The way the author has written them completely captivates you the whole way through.
This book is well written and utterly thrilling. I cannot wait to read more in this series.
Who doesn’t love Archangels and the five fates and evil demon-infested angels???
This is one if those stories that is written in such detail – it was a visual read – it was like watching a movie in my mind. This is a relatively “long” story and it flowed well from chapter to chapter. There is a lot going on with a lot of different characters yet it was a fascinating read.
I look forward to reading more from this “new to me ” author
