Toot's Review by Stacy Sabala
In this
first soul guardians book, the reader is introduced to Kara, aspiring
artist. She is on her way to a
presentation for an internship when she is hit by a bus. She has been chosen to be a guardian angel
and the reader is introduced to the afterlife.
I can’t figure out why different types of monkeys run the
elevators. That was bizarre.
The
storyline was interesting. She was
classified as a rookie and is assigned a trainer, David. He is so cocky that he continually lightens
the mood. Kara is only sixteen which you
didn’t know until she dies. Her age
definitely appears with her attitude and disbelief in the beginning. To be honest her character was pretty
annoying in the beginning. You can tell
she is a tad self-centered. I couldn’t
wait until she adapted. Once she did and
accepted her new life, the story started to take off. I liked her better. She grew tougher and more confident. The twists that the author throws in about
her mother is a little shocking. There
isn’t much said about it, so you know more will be revealed later.
Then the
mark wrecks havoc on Kara’s life.
Everyone thinks she is a traitor even David. That was hard to read. She is basically abandoned,
and she becomes determined to prove her innocence. When she is sent in to help save a child as a
rookie, you wonder if she is supposed to come back. It’s an elaborate way to get rid of her. It was pretty action packed as the demons
converge on her every time she goes to earth.
I like the elemental avenue that pops up in the end. I can’t wait to see how the author explores
that. The ending is a bit bittersweet
for Kara and David. It wasn’t what I
expected but want to read the next book to see what happens next. This one leaves you hanging a little. I give it a 4 out of 5.
