"Behold the kiss that ends the world..."

I’m a proud bookworm who is jealous of the heroines she reads about. They’re always brimming with courage and going on adventures. The most courageous thing I’ve done is drink milk two days past it’s expiration date. Nothing new or exciting ever happens to me. I play it safe at every turn and live a spectacularly unremarkable life.

Until…

I was attacked by a hoard of Demons and rescued by the Japanese twins from my history class. They confess to being part of a six-member team of Angels; sent to earth to find me.

Wait, what?

It turns out, they are here to get me to reveal a secret; one I don’t even realize I’m keeping. If the Demons learn the secret before the Angels, they’ll use that knowledge to bring hell on earth. The twins present me to the team leader-- Marcus Cane. Marcus is stubborn and bossy. He’s also ridiculously hot. I forget how to breathe when he’s near and feel panic when he’s away. But we could never be together. He’s the most powerful Angel on earth and I’m, well…me.

Also, he has a girlfriend. She’s stunning, intelligent and quick to kill. That should have been enough to make us stay away from each other, it wasn’t…

Yep, 5 stars for a paranormal romance which I did love some of the romance part, but the real reason for the 5 stars is the story. The stories within the stories were all so great and heart breaking and unique. Emerson is human she is part of a clue to find a thing that will end the world. You have the Guardians (6 Angels) and then you have the (6 evil angels). They are in search of the Triplex hidden on earth somewhere and only one clue is a human girl. The first look at him and the first look at her was just love at first site human to angel. It falls short too me though it's not believable. I like all the other things going on more then the love story and apparently the love is what ends the Angel (Marcus). I can't say anymore because you have to get sucked into this whir wind of a great story book.. Seriously this book has been on my Kindle for years and I could kick myself for waiting so long. I have to stop getting sucked into these series they are killing me people. I started this last night and crying big boo-hoo tears at 2 in the morning is not a pretty site, then my husband tells me to turn off the kindle and go to bed. I looked at him and because my heart was hurting I just wanted to slap him up side his head.. I'm boo-hooing and he tells me to go to bed really thank you honey.. This book had me laughing one minute then bam got a shocker and to end all endings a oh lets see you handle this BAM BAM... Yeah so I have to go get book two and then book 3, then book 4 all the way to book 8 because your girl Lola St. Vil can write some Angel and Evil fights like no other people. If you like Paranormal, Angels, Heaven and Hell fights, Love, Family, Friends and just some dang good action try this book it will give you all you love rolled in one. Recommend for 16 yrs and up...

As books about angels and demons are just my favorite in the fantasy genre, I truly enjoyed reading The Girl, first in the Guardians series. While attempting to save a wounded man at her school, Emerson is attacked. Two fellow students, Miku and Rio, come to her rescue. Soon Emmy learns that not only are they angels and a part of a group called Guardians, but also that the survival of the world as we know it depends on her, Emerson Baxter.

This comfortably paced novel combine what is generally known about angels and demons with the author's own unique and highly imaginative inventions. Although these Guardians are angels, they can and do make mistakes, they have normal desires and needs and they can be tempted into using their powers for things that are off limits. This made me like them so much more than the perfect angel image so often created by writers.

The bad guys or Akons on the other hand - aptly named Chaos, Mayhem, Agony, Rage, War and Frenzy, are thoroughly and completely evil. They cheat, torture, destroy and don't care who gets hurt in the cross-fire, whereas the Guardians are never allowed to take human lives. Then there are the Sellers, the proverbial grey area, who are mainly evil but could do good when they choose to.

Emmy, the main character, put me off at first. She seemed to have a very dull, weak personality and once she starts crushing on the first Guardian, Marcus, she seems to be so obsessed that the world could go "boom" and she wouldn't notice. Add to that the fact that she cried for any and everything and I thought we had a weak female lead in the book. That is until Ameana, the second Guardian, tells her:

"Your courage is in your tears. Every time you cry, you lose a little bit more of it. That's why you're so breakable. Not because you're human, because you're always shedding courage from your eyes."

Fortunately Emmy toughens up early in the book and displays remarkable strength of character and determination to do whatever it takes to save the world from hell and damnation.

The story takes the reader from highly exciting scenes of fighting to a very sad angel funeral; from tender romantic moments to descriptions of extreme torture. Woven into this are the angel politics and intrigue as well as an angel gossip paper which adds a humorous side to the book.

I, for one, am looking forward to reading more about the Guardians, Emerson Baxter, their effort to save the world and the open ended romantic possibilities between Emmy and Marcus. (Ellen Fritz)

I crave her. I need her. I love her.
And that is the reason, we will all die...
The three lines on the book description really had me called to me. And that's why I got this book.

We start off at school. Introducing, Emerson Hope Baxter. Emmy a shy girl who obeys the rules and is very studious. She wants to change the world. Like the women in history. They were defiant and made their own way. They went against the grain in what was established. Better said what society established for them. She has purple eyes. Yes,she has beautiful, unusual purple eyes. They can change to different shades of purple. She says that she is not really beautiful or intelligent. She is five feet four inches. And she has black hair.

She falls in love with Marcus. The First in command of the newest generation of guardians. He is the blond Adonis. The epitome of hotness. He has a girlfriend, Ameana. She is the female version of badasss hotness too. She is his second in command too. Her powers are telekinetic. She can move things with her mind. The rest of the team are, Rio a tall Japanese foreign exchange student along with his twin sister, Miko who is short five feet tall and a bit of a nut. But she has a lot of love in her. Rio's abilities are the he really knows how people are feeling. There is no hiding from him. Then Miko, she is a siren. When she sings, the listeners who listen die. Next we have, Jayden or Jay as his friends call him. He is black. He is a car enthusiast. And he can really, really cook. Whose powers are can glide. Persuade, suggest people to do or feel something else. Speed. Reason aka Reece he has humor. He can pop from one place and get to another. It's called blinking. Teleport.

We get an introduction of the characters in volume one. Also other major players in this series. At first Marcus is an ass. I am saying this nicely. When he meets Emmy. But as the story continues we get to understand why. I loved all of the characters in this book. It was a ride of various emotions. It played on mine. Made laugh, cry, and made me impatient to see what's next.

This book has action, drama, romance and humor. It defiantly got my interest. It will get yours. I will read the next in a few days.

I was very surprised with this book, it gripped me from the very first chapter.
Its well written and told from two perspectives (Emmy and Marcus) at first I was unhappy with the the age of the lead character (15) but as I continued reading it quickly became irrelevant. Lola StVil writes wonderfully and creates very interesting characters and the storyline had shocking twists that left me unable to put my kindle down. I finished this book in a day and have already downloaded the second. 10/10
