Indlæser... The Halo Chronicles: The Guardianaf Carey Corp
Ingen Der er ingen diskussionstråde på Snak om denne bog.  cool-mom-e | May 7, 2016 |   This book was simply amazing. I am now seeking the rest of the series that I know this book must belong to. Carey Corp is a fantastic writer with the ability to write a story without worrying about taking chances with her characters. (By the way I couldn't help but picture Lucas Till as Gabriel, keep that in mind for a movie deal!) So many authors are afraid if they allow characters that their readers truly love to end up having an outcome that is not such a happy ending that they will lose the interest of their followers. I for one adore writers that are not afraid to put the lives of their characters on the line for the greater good of a story and I feel that Carey Corp is definitely one of these writers. I would recommend these books for not only teens but adults as well, this story captured me and held me until the very end and I can honestly say Carey Corp has become a favorite of mine from this moment on. Carey if you read this review know that I would LOVE to read the rest of your series, I am dying to know what happens to Alexia, Derry, and Jonah next! -Kitty Bullard / Great Minds Think Aloud Book Club (  ) RavenswoodPublishing | Jul 22, 2011 | –Kristi Cook author of HAVEN Rated five stars on Amazon, Barnes & Noble and Goodreads careycorp | May 31, 2011 | ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

I read this book in less than 24 hours. It was sweet but something kept me from just absolutely loving it. It was clean but had a bit of a dark theme in the back drop. I think I would let my teen girls read it but with much discussion. Suicude, inappropriate teacher relationship, drugs, rape. While none of these things were discussed in detail - they were still in the story and I would want to talk them through with my girls. Not sure if this is a start of a series or not. I would probably read the next one of so. (
