Book Blurb

Toot's Review by Stacy Sabala
In the second book of the Fallen Guardian Saga, Violet and Carter are back but separated. Carter is home in Newcastle hoping for Violet’s return. Violet is again with the Guardians and not allowed to return. If she leaves the dark ones will come through the portal. Both are miserable and yearn for the other.Vivian is wasting away and Carter is giving her some of his energy so she can hold on. Lucian has set his sights for her. He will claim Vivian in order to lure Violet out. She will come to save Vivian’s soul and he will have Violet’s sword. He holds many secrets and taunts those close to Violet. Violet knows she is missing something vital to all of this. Knowledge is power and there is information that she knows she needs and the guardians have it. She is on a mission to find the truth.
Also on a truth finding mission is Gabriel. He has guessed that Reese is not the one who betrayed the guardians. This person is also the cause of Reese’s death and needs to answer for it. He wants to know what other secrets Camulus and the Council are keeping.
Be careful what you wish for. The secrets are shocking to both Violet and Gabriel. Violet has to make a hard decision when she goes to the rescue of Vivian’s soul. She has to confront evil itself and win. There is no other way for her and Carter to have a future.
The first book was fascinating and I couldn’t wait to see how the author continued the story. This second book did not disappoint. The author dropped some shocking secrets on the reader about Violet. It was jaw dropping. After the truth was revealed the story unfolded as Violet went into a tail spin and Gabriel had to deal with her decisions.
The book dealt with the emotional side of the situation more so than the first book. It had depth with the beliefs, dealing with Vivian’s death, Violet’s love for Carter, and then the truth of her life. It was also interesting to see the humans more trusting and forgiving than the guardians. The author’s point of view given in the story was fascinating. I give it a 4 out of 5.
