Redemption (The Guardian Series)
S. Hamil
This is the first book in this series that I have read. With that being said, I was able to follow this book, but feel I probably would have understood things much better had I read the previous books. As I feel there was a lot going on and had happened that I was unsure of. This book is about Joshua. He was a dark angel, then moved to the human world, but everything seemed vanilla to him. Father came to him and asked him to return to the Dark World and get the Guardian’s back and if he did this, he would be able to be with Melanie. So the excursion began, but the dark world was nothing like Josh had left it. No one could be trusted, things were not as they seemed, and he quickly realized this was not going to be an easy mission. He sent Melanie back up. One thing for certain, the love Josh and Melanie had for each other was strong and very powerful. The lengths they went to to be together was inspiring. I enjoyed this author’s style and way of writing and hope to read the series from start to finish one day. I am glad I read this one even if it isn’t my normal read.
So I liked this book as much as the first book in this series. This one is all about Joshua going back to his past in the dark realm for his father has asked him too. And in doing so He brings his love Melanie into it for he can’t be without her and through the twist and turns he risks everything to make things right again. I am such a fan of supernatural books that I love that this one is about angels and demons and I get to see into their world through the author’s writing.
This is a story is suspenseful and filled with twists. I was a bit confused at the beginning, since this is book 4. I suggest reading the first books prior, probably would clear up some lingering questions. The storyline follows Joshua at his lowest and then he is offered a chance at redemption. Melanie wants to be with Joshua but their lives are not lining up. Joshua doesn’t want to bring her into his dark world, but she is determined to find out her true feelings. Not my normal read, sci fi/fantasy is hard to get into, but I suggest giving this book a try and strongly suggest reading the previous books.
This book is entertaining, but I’m not sure yet how I feel about it. I struggled with a two or three star rating. I’m not sure if it’s because I didn’t read any other books in this series, but I was a little lost at times. However, I will say the love between Melanie and Josh is soul deep. The lengths these two go to between good and evil is neverending.
This is the fourth book in the Guardian series and probably would have been easier to keep up with had I read the other books. I wouldn’t call it a standalone at all. All that said, that was a ton going on and I had trouble keeping up. Melanie and Joshua’s story is totally about redemption and forgiveness. The story is well paced, the characters compelling, the writing very fluid. I just felt like I came into the middle of a movie with no pause Botton to ask what was going on.
I like a good paranormal read and this one was pretty good. I do admit that I didn’t read the other books in this series and I wish I had before hand. You don’t need to though. Some action, mystery, sexy and a quick read made this book enjoyable.
This was a good but it felt like I was playing catch with some of the back ground information. It would definitely benefit the reader to read the books in order.
Well written, fast tempo, twist, turns, good and evil, the underworld, characters are well crafted, this genre is not my usual read, the romance felt fast and forced, but I haven’t read earlier books, which may but have been a better choice for me. I will read more, recommended.
Josh has a chance to have Melanie back if he does this one last thing for Father, set the guardians free. What Josh finds out along the way is that the Director of the Underworld wants him to lead and has also taken a great interest in Melanie. As Josh sends Melanie away to save her Josh has to fall into his old habits and he might give in and lose Melanie forever.
I enjoyed this book. It’s the first book in the series that I’ve read and didn’t have a problem reading it as a stand-alone. A dark angel tries to make amends for past mistakes while keeping the woman he loves safe. The ending was a little rushed to me hence the 4 stars.
This was the first book in this series that I have read, and it can be read as a stand alone but I don’t think I would recommend it. There were times where I was a bit confused and felt a little lost on occasion while reading, and felt a bit like the book picked up almost in the middle of Joshua and Melanie’s story. I haven’t read a paranormal story in a while and I did really enjoy the writing in this book.
Melanie has gone into the Underworld looking for Joshua, who was sent on a mission to rescue fallen guardians. She finds him, but from that moment on they are on constant edge and watching over their shoulders at each turn. They cannot trust anyone and have to be very careful.
It’s been a long time since Joshua was in the Underworld and it is nothing like he remembered, or was expecting. His focus is keeping Melanie safe, which isn’t easy to do with new enemies this time around, thankfully he has a few allies as well. Melanie is fighter though and shows her strength through out their story. They do make it back to the human realm, together.
I did like this book but would only recommend if you have read the series.
I liked reading this book but the thing that kept me from loving it, is the pace of the book and I felt that I was reading, but not getting anywhere. That being said, I loved the characters and of course the author but I wouldn’t say i would re-read this book.
This was the first book in this series I’ve read. Ill be honest this is not my normal genre as I’ve never been interested in the angels/demons. The twists and turns of this book may allow me to read more in this genre.
As Joshu returns to the Underworld and to Melanie they soon learn that things are not what they seem
– This story was action packed
– There was great world building so it seemed like you were in the Underworld
– You did not know who to trust and who to not
– Second chances
I felt like it was a little to fast paced and I did not get to know the characters well enough. I will state that I have NOT read the other books in the series so maybe if I did I would not feel like that. I also would have liked to learn more about the dealings in the Underworld, because it was so fast paced it went by in a world wind.
This book is was good, but I feel there were parts missing. Josh is human but use to be a dark angel. He wanted to live his life with his love Melanie until something just doesn’t click and they parted. Melanie wants to talk to him but finding him isn’t easy. She goes to the underworld to talk to him but was tricked and now she’s there and can’t leave. Josh was told to get his dad’s angels back, but it isn’t easy. This book had a lot of twist and really was good.
This was my first book from this author and the first book I have read in this series. It was a bit hard for me get into the book at the beginning however once I continued ready the story got more interesting. A really good book and definitely recommended.
Defiantly an entertaining side to good and evil and I am stuck still on star rating! I loved the premise and the world created but I wanted more. I feel that to get the whole picture you do have to read all previous books.
Melanie’s and Joshuas story was all about second chances and forgiveness! Both were struggling with a choice made and rectifying that choice to make things better!
Redemption: A Guardian Angel Romance is boom 4 in The Guardians series. Joshua used to be a dark angel for Father till he was made human. Father asked him to fulfill his promised he has made to him. His mission is to turn back to a dark angel and save some guardians. Melanie is back in the picture. She has always love Joshua. Joshua has his hands full rescuing the guardians and melanie. This book has some great twist and turns with danger all in one.
This was a fantastic paranormal romance. Melanie and Joshua had plenty of chemistry and were interesting characters. The story was well-written with an interesting storyline that had plenty of twists and turns that kept me turning the pages from beginning to end.
I received an advanced readers copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a honest review.
