I don't usually give bad reviews, but this book ended so abruptly I had to give it two stars!! At first, this book was turning out to be one of the best I've ever read; then it ended out of nowhere! I sure hope Katie changes her mind and adds a sequel (although I doubt it, because this book was published in 2012). So many questions were left unanswered; what will happen between Zachary and Cassie after he gets his memory erased? What will happen between Abby and Elijah? Elijah finally got rid of Lucius and then the book just ended; I was very disappointed.

The Guardians edition by Katie Ashley Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews

There are several young adult books about angels, but none compare to The Guardians by Lily Raye. How do angels come to earth and fit in with regular high school teens? How do they save them without exposing themselves?

This isn't your typical YA angel book - it's much, much more!!
That was me if the best books I have read. Did you by any chance write scripts for " Touched By An Angel".
I loved that series & I loved this book. This was a great read & I look forward to reading more of your work.
I have just added you to my favorite author list.
Background Elijah and his "family" have been send by the Dominion to be Guardian Angels to the Thomas family after their time of need. Each are given an assignment, aka person, and expected to help them cope with their pain, torment, as well as teenage problems and the story begins with a death.

Review The story follows two points of view; Elijah who is sweet and shy and is assigned to Abby the eldest daughter of the Thomas family, and Cassie who does not know her assignment since she is new and the Dominion (higher ups) want her to feel for the pain of her assignment to link with them...

I enjoyed this book quite a bit, however I am normally but off by angel books that aren't all for teenage angst and malice... this one was different. Raye kept it on point, the characters are well formed, entertaining, and the story line keeps you questioning so many things. As a reader you aren't sure if the angels are going to stay angelic, or that their assignments are going to make it without committing suicide due to grief and all this rolled into one story was a delight to read.

I received this as a PDF from the author and was a little put off at times by the editing errors, there were a few missing words here and there and some typos, but all in all a great read.
WOW, JUST FINISHED THIS KINDLE BOOK AND WOW, FULL OF SURPRISES. THIS BOOK, SURE HELD YOUR ATTENTION, THRU OUT THE BOOK, BUT IT WAS A GOOD ATTENTION! IT WAS CERTAINLY DIFFERENT, BUT INTERESTING, TOO! GOOD BOOK! GREAT ENDING, AS WELL!

The Guardians is a sweet YA novel. It is about guardian angels helping to save humans and their souls while dealing with the human emotions they receive while disguised in human form.

Unlike other Katie Ashley novels this didn't grab me from the 1st word, the first couple of chapters were a little slow. Once past those chapters the book hooks you in & it is impossible to put down.

A great original story!
First of all, gah gah gah, I LOVE that cover!! I can think of several other "angel" books that could learn something from that cover design, but I won't name names. Sooo pretty. The designer Rachel Marks. Sooo talented. Check out her website [...].

On to the book For me The Guardians was like tucking into the couch on a Saturday night and watching Touched By An Angel. Even if you're not extremely religious (and honestly I'm not), it still gives you that feel-good feeling of angels doing what angels do best - helping people. And like Touched By An Angel, the angels have a lot to learn in order to do their best - because humans are complex, and teenagers even more so. It was easy to relate to both Elijah's and Cassie's struggles. They both want so much to succeed, but in doing so they make mistakes which could ultimately do just the opposite. Um, I think that describes a lot of teenagers I know.

I was particularly drawn to Elijah's side of the story. He's so sweet and caring and non-judgmental. The perfect guy really. And in the end I kind of liked how his desire to help Abby with the baby was linked to him wanting to be a father. Perhaps not the most typical teenage response, but then Elijah wasn't exactly a teen. In any case, it's nice to see a guy who thinks about family. I also really liked the set up with his struggle towards the end (no spoilers, I promise), but Elijah has to make a choice, and it wasn't really the one I thought he was going to make.

Cassie's story forms the other half of the book, and I really felt what she was going through. She's sort of the newbie to the whole guardian angel gig and she wants so bad to do well. And of course she keeps messing up. And then things kind of get out of her control and she messes up even more. I like a character who can make mistakes, but I like a character even more who has a dozen hurdles thrown in their way and finds it in themselves to deal. This was Cassie.

Underneath all of this "assignment" stuff, there's something more complex going on with Lucius and the higher angels- or at least it's hinted at. I would have liked to see a bit more plot development with this because throughout I was kind of expecting there to be a big reveal as to why this particular family was targeted and why we were hearing the story of these particular angels. I thought there would be a huge tie-in, but either that was just my misconception or maybe I'll learn more with the sequel.

One last thing despite the analogy I made in the beginning to Touched By An Angel, there are no lectures here and no overarching 'accept God into your heart' message. I appreciated that because as I said, I'm not religious even though I love angel stories. If there was any message I'd take from this book, it's simply that angels are cool (and possibly addicted to honey).
I don't usually give bad reviews, but this book ended so abruptly I had to give it two stars!! At first, this book was turning out to be one of the best I've ever read; then it ended out of nowhere! I sure hope Katie changes her mind and adds a sequel (although I doubt it, because this book was published in 2012). So many questions were left unanswered; what will happen between Zachary and Cassie after he gets his memory erased? What will happen between Abby and Elijah? Elijah finally got rid of Lucius and then the book just ended; I was very disappointed.
