A Gaurdian Falls



My Rating: 3/5

Review: This was my ninth Goodreads win, so I am very appreciative of that. Unfortunately, the book wasn't as great as I was expecting it to be. I like the concept of it very much, but the writing style was very frustrating to me at times. I don't like it when names are repeated over and over within a couple of paragraphs, and the dialogue did not flow well at all. When there are only two characters talking, there should be no need to constantly remind the reader who is speaking. The action sequences were done very well for the most part, however, and the ending was very good. I was just intrigued enough to wonder what will happen next.

Book Description: Imagine a moment of unseen intervention on your behalf. What would you do if you discovered invisible beings surrounding you? What if you were the key to their survival? SON OF EDEN introduces a world where unseen beings really do exist, love has no limits, and the realization of one’s self worth is pivotal. Tormented by sadness over her mother’s death, Emily Wallace wonders if life really has any purpose. Her question is answered when she meets Alexander. After transgressing the laws of his kind, Alexander reveals his true nature to Emily and the two find life without one another is not an option. But, forming such a cosmically unique relationship comes with a price. It becomes apparent that some will stop at nothing to ensure an ancient prophecy surrounding these two is never fulfilled. Is the Opposition motivated by knowledge of Alexander’s true identity? Or, are they more concerned with who Emily is destined to become?
