.This book features a child by the name of Gabe, who was orphaned at a young age and ended up growing up in a foster home, later a school for boys. He has a gift, that feels like a curse, which allows him to feel when something bad is going to happen.There were some religious connations and he is told he is eventually told he is a guardian protector, who helps fight against demons. It was extremely difficult to comprehend some of the experiences. The people and the places were not clearly define...
I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.I started this book pretty much blind. Not to say that everything was fuzzy and I couldn’t read the pages, but my wife had finished it a short while ago and enjoyed it when I was given the opportunity to review the entire series I said “sure why not!” without even reading the excerpt. After all if she thought I’d like it, then I probably would, she kinda gets me like that. **I’m not going to give away anything vitally important to t...
The first few pages made this book seem like it had a bit of promise as the description is pretty good. But then the dialogue starts, and while it's okay for the first half dozen pages it just gets worse and less realistic. I forged on, ignoring things like the fact the main character falls asleep while riding on the back of a motorcycle and doesn't fall off over however many hours he slept.But then we meet the wise old Michael, and an info dump begins. And what was a mediocre novel becomes path...
It was an interesting idea, where an orphan with no-one in his life has strange abilities that he can't explain, except that he must be cursed. He gets pick up by the good guys and told who and what he is, much the same as Percy Jackson and the Lighening Theif. He then trains to become what he is destined to be. A good read, interesting theology behind the story, but that is exactly what it is - a story. Well written, although it did leave me wondering more about his past experiences and how the...
Ok... so here's the thing, at the start I didn't know what to expect but as I read along I found Gabe so relate-able. Loved the fast developed relationship between Sophie and Gabe At times I found myself questioning Uri's loyalty and never once expected Anthony.In my opinion the book developed a little too quickly (for my taste at least) but that doesn't want to keep me from reading the next in the series!Oh on the contrary..I'm very excited about book 2*HAPPY READING*
I liked this book, it was a quick read but jam packed with excitement!All alone in a world that brought nothing but tragedy, Gabe meets Uri after an accident in the subway. He was quickly ushered away to mystical life of Angels and Demons, prophecies, and love. Gabe has to decide if he truly wants to stay and risk everything, or go and have nothing.
Another young adult fiction candy. its enjoyable- the formulaic coming of age , lost boy does not realize his specialness, and his importance.Somewhat of a Happy Potter life- mix breed of mortal angel guardians against demonic devil spawnIts a fast read and fun.
I was able to get the rewrite of this book a couple of weeks ago. I would recommend this to anyone! It starts off with a bang and keeps you in suspense. You really get to feel what the character is going through on every level. I can't wait for the new rewrite to book two! A++!!!!
This book was HEAVY on the religious aspects. I don't think I met one character without a saint/archangel/disciple name in this book. And I'm not fooled...'Gabe' is TOTALLY the archangel Gabriel, and Uri is Uriel. Pretty sure that was intended. And the fact that everything was centered around faith, free will, and GOD just drove the points home like nails in Jesus' hands. Dramatic? Not in the slightest.Gabe was just an average kid until the day he met Uri....Well, as 'average' as a kid who can s...
My Review...I received this book in exchange for an honest review from the author.Gabe has been tossed from foster home to foster home. He has had problems with hallucinations that were pretty real to him. He learned quickly to not talk about what he saw.Chaos follows Gabe everywhere. Or at least he sees Chaos first but soon after a tragedy follows. That's enough proof for him to know he's not hallucinating but try and explain that to anyone and therapy ensues.He has learned to not tell anyone a...
Sacred Bloodlines by Wendy OwensThe Guardians Book OneGabe is waiting at the subway station, brooding over the social worker’s words; thinking people must believe he is cursed. As he prepared to get on the subway, he heard white noise, but only inside his head. He froze. Others passed him and before he could rush onto the car, he saw a woman in front of the doors to the subway. She was surrounded by a full-body aura of a strange gray color. She wore a leather trench coat; her short hair was slic...
*Received in exchange for an honest review* This was a really interesting book. The pure imagination and thoughts that went into the plot and characters could easily be seen, I also love the way the secret mansion is tied in and that no-one except its occupants know of its destination! The cover is so angelic and ethereal, it immediatly casts a mysterious but also out-of-this-world feel. His eyes are also stunning... why can't mine be that blue?!Is he really cursed?Gabe has always mov...
A 4.5 almost a 5 Star review of Sacred Bloodlines by Wendy Owens. The Guardian Series especially Sacred Bloodlines would have us to believe that there is special protectors out there fighting against evil for those that believe. The author Wendy Owens drew her stories loosely from the bible making them believable for the most part. I found the book very entertaining and easy to read. I ended up being drawn into the story line that surprised me in a good way. Normally I never read stories like th...
If you are a fan of Harry Potter or Percy Jackson and the Olympians then this is certainly a book for you. As the story goes we find a lost piece than needs to fin it's place in this world, and that piece is our main character.He is a young orphan who only knows that he is alone and that he is different from everybody else... which can only mean one thing: somebody must hate him because those powers of his are a curse.Or so he thinks.Gladly for him he is found and brought closer to people who, j...
I should say that I received this book for free in exchange for my honest review. As I writer,I keep my reviews honest. I knew within the first paragraph of this book I was going to enjoy it. Wendy Owens wastes no time getting the action going and she kept me turning pages throughout the whole book. The really great thing was that in all the action she still managed to develop the characters. Each character had a distinct personality and purpose. As the reader, I was able to form a relationship
