Book Blurb
Late one evening, Genesis and her boyfriend are in a car accident. Carter’s SUV rolls, and Genesis finds herself injured, lying on the pavement. Just before she slips into the darkness an unfamiliar voice calls out to her, promising everything will be fine.
His name is Seth, and he’s the Guardian assigned to protect her.
When Genesis begins having bizarre visions, the Guardians believe she could be useful to them. To Seth, this means stepping into the middle of an epic battle between angels and demons. Even with supernatural protection, there’s no guarantee he can keep Genesis safe, something that's becoming more important to him by the day.
The line between reality and the celestial becomes so blurred that Genesis can't decide who’s real and who’s otherworldly, and worse: who's good and who's evil.

Toot's Review by Stacy Sabala
Genesis
Green and her mother struggle to make ends meet. She is considered poor and feels that more
and more when she goes out with boyfriend Carter. One night after an uncomfortable dinner with
Carter’s parents, Genesis and Carter are in a car accident. Genesis is
seriously hurt but hears a comforting voice telling her that help is on the
way. That voice belongs to Seth. He is a guardian and he watches over her.
Seth is
shocked that she can see and hear him when she isn’t supposed to. He is also drawn to her. He shouldn’t stay visible as long as he does
but there is something about her.
When Genesis
starts having these weird dreams and visions, it freaks her out. When they actually start coming true, it
sends her into a panic. Seth is afraid
it will draw her into the war the guardians are fighting against evil. The guardians are thinking her visions may be
useful in the battle. Seth is against it
and Genesis needs to feel useful.
Things start
getting weird when Arsen shows up one day.
He starts working at the diner with her.
His interest in her is more than she wants. Plus her mom is behaving like a child. Genesis is done with the way life has been
going. She is ready to take control,
that is, until evil comes knocking.
I liked how
this story was set up. The family
dynamic between Genesis and her mother is dysfunctional. Genesis also has a huge chip on her shoulder
when it comes to Carter. Genesis’
reactions and behaviors are real and understandable. You feel for her instantly because you can
see her life is not easy.
I liked how
she now has visions after her accident.
She gains a purpose that keeps her going. I also like how Seth treats her. He is annoying at first but always takes care
of her. He seems to be the only
character besides Stu who does.
There is a
lot of darkness and loss. The author
makes Genesis a target. Persuasion is
used first, then threats. I wasn’t sure
if her mom was that selfish or if she was a part of things. I have a feeling more secrets will be
revealed in the next book.
I was also
sad to see what happened in the end.
Genesis has basically lost everything.
The author really tore what life she had apart to give her a new one. It will be interesting to see how tough her
character remains. I give it a 4 out of
5.
