Now it's time for the review of The Faerie Guardian by Rachel Morgan.

Violet is a faerie in training to be a Guardian, which means she constantly travels into the human world to protect the unsuspecting people from random attacks by the fae. One mission goes badly when Vi accidentally takes a human back to her world, Creepy Hollow, which is breaking the number one rule. However, things aren't quite as they appear for this boy, or with her for that matter...

I really have some mixed feelings about this book. I totally loved it, especially the second half, but I just can't get over how fast she seems to fall for Nate. She barely just met the guy and she is breaking all the rules for him. I totally get the rush for this (in the scope of the whole book), but it was kind of frustrating when I wasn't far enough to understand why Rachel Morgan would write it this way.

Now, with that out of the way, I loved just about everything else about this book. After the big game-changer near the middle of the book, I couldn't put it down. The plot from that point on really picked up and it was amazing.

I really loved Vi and Ryn as characters. I wish I could have gotten a better sense of who Nate was, but he was such a flat character and maybe that's why his and Vi's attraction seemed so sudden and strange. I sure did love, though, the part where Vi actually voiced the doubts rolling through my head and admitted to knowing Nate for only a short period of time, so she didn't understand her emotional response to him. I also just loved how she could stand her own in a fight and really embodied the tough chick. So many times books can have a main character like her and then completely ruin it with their whinny thoughts. I think Rachel Morgan did an excellent job with Vi's responses to everything that happened.

Now about Ryn, I totally didn't like him at first, which is kind of the point, but I really, really like him by the end. Talking about the end, I really wish there was more to it. The bonus material after the book finishes helps me have a slight bit of closer, but it really wasn't enough. I know this is part of a series, so I knew to expect a bit of a cliff-hanger, but I really wish series (in general) were more episodic verse how they tend to be just one giant book chopped into smaller pieces. I'm totally going to read the rest of the series, but I wish there was a more satisfying ending.

Overall, this was a well written and really gripping book. I can't wait to pick up the next one (which I'm probably going to do in the next few minutes).

Oh, and by the way, I totally love the cover.
