4.5 breath-taking stars!🌟

Songlines, a YA Fantasy Romance written by Carolyn Denman is the first book in the Sentinels of Eden series. When I first started this book, I didn't know what to expect. But as the story kept moving, I found myself wanting to read more and more and BAM! it was over. When Lainie, a 17 year old girl's told that she isn't exactly human, but a Cherub who was born to guard the gateway to Eden, she couldn't believe it. The story progresses as Lainie accepts who she really is and takes up the responsibilities that comes along with being a Cherub. On the way, she learns about the importance of love, friendship, family, trust, loyalty, courage, sacrifice and the choice of freedom.

The author's choice of words were beautiful and the descriptions were satisfying. I adored Lainie and Noah's friendship! I loved Lainie and Bane as their hatred turned into much more beautiful things. I respected Aunt Lily as she supported Lainie and the others throughout the end:) Oh THE ENDING! It left me in tears. I can't wait to read the next book! With shocking twists arising out of nowhere and all the emotions flowing, this book is sure to tug at the readers heartstrings.❤
