Monday, December 04, 2006 A book reivew

I've been doing a copious amount of book reading and thought I'd share a book review with you. The first book is a Silhouette Nocturne, Eternally by Maureen Child.

Guardian, immortal fighter of evil, Kiernan hunted a demon in the Hollywood Hills. To him, Destined Mates are legend. But when his hunt crosses the path of Julie Carpenter, he realizes there may be truth to the old stories, and he needs her. Because if he can't capture the demon then Julie is in danger, and the rest of the world with her.

This first book of the Guardians series introduces us to the world of the Guardians. We meet several other individuals who, I am sure, will have their stories told as well. Julie comes across as a strong willed heroine who isn't afraid when she probably should be, and Kiernan is a brooding, dark hero complete with a long, black coat.

If you feel like some of the aspects of this story have been told before, it's true. And there are aspects of this story that feel as if they've been pulled from other places, other mythololgies, but this reader found herself interested in Julie & Kiernan's story. The fact that the Guardian didn't drink blood, yet had immortality. And the fact that someone named "Michael" (angel anyone?) kept them from dying intrigued me enough to turn the pages. In the end, I found a good, satisfying read.
