Goodreads Summary:
"Most teens turn sixteen and get the license to drive, but Lil Falcon gets the license to kill demons. Orphaned as a child and raised by an eccentric grandfather, Lil is concerned with surviving high school and is unaware that she's a Guardian-a being with super powers charged with killing demons and protecting humanity. When she meets Bran, a mysterious boy with amazing abilities, his psi energy unlocks her latent powers. But Bran has a secret that can ruin their growing relationship, and the truth she discovers may destroy everything she believes in unless she finds the right balance between love and sacrifice."
Ever since I read an excerpt from Betrayed (the second book in the series), I put this series on my to-read list.
The plot was fantastic and the characters were flippin' awesome. And I do mean AWESOME *faint*
The pacing was just right, all the character development was amazing, the dialogue made my heart beat frantically, etc....
I just don't even know what to say about this book except that I loved it.
L-O-V-E-D.
A-D-O-R-E-D.
Thank you for this AWESOME book! I want to buy this books series in paperback now :D

This book was terrible. I wasn't able to finish it, I think I made it maybe 30% into it before I had to stop. The main character is annoying and I want to punch her. The "love interest" is the least interesting person in the world. This book is cliche and makes me angry. This is the worst book that has "nephilim" and demons.... or whatever they are supposed to me.

Forcing myself to read this book felt like getting teeth pulled with no pain killers, while on fire.

this is long overdue lol

My toughts:

Bookcover:. Wats wrong with this cover? Nothing . This cover looks intense. (The dude is bran btw.) Huge wings, lol.

Book:
The prologue was really good , The synopsis intrigued me like a great synopsis should . We get to meet lil falcon and bran immediately. (I had the tendency to read little falcon instead of lil falcon trough the first chapters but later I got used to her name.)

Lil accepted who she was and did not hide her gypsy heritage, that was cool. I loved that she was a good friend to her friends. Most of all Not a WHINY lass.

Sykes and Remy , two of the side characters who acted immature , and funny and are witty. And enjoying like brothers towards lil, but loved her as a sis.what do you expect from teenage brothers there annoying lol. The other side characters were really enjoyable and needed to create a wonderful tale. Grandpa, Izyy, Kim and others

The romance is brief in all the action . It not gagging for a boy . Lets me honest Boys don’t read as as girls . With romance all most non existent . Lil and bran felt like real people , real teens. And have to say Bran is the perfect gentlemen , although grandpa was a bit hesitant , I can imagine he only has her left , you will find out why if u read it
Found a song that fits with a beloved scene of this book, for those who read it its the mountain scene at night ,the first date.
It’s from lady antebellum , just a kiss
The fighting scenes were Amazing , was on the edge of my seat , the tempo was good not to quickly but did not drag at all. Sadly did not find a good song for those scenes

The bad guys were bad/evil but I felt like there was some good somewhere. You will find out a lot of family history and a lot of question will be stirred upp.
Got book for two as a gift from Ednah Walters, will read it soon and review it
Gave this book a 5 Stars out of 5
