Blurb: He saw her die in a vision…
Before five years ago, Gabriel had never met Vega, but he knows how she’s going to die. He knows he’ll be involved… unless he can make sure they never meet, never cross paths, so that his vision will never come true. So he left his pack behind, joined the Stavros pack and was determined to never let that future play out. To never meet her at all. Fate had other plans—and she walked right into his life when he least expected it. For the last five years he’s avoided Vega whenever possible even while trying to keep an eye on her. But when she gets cagey with her pack and disappears, he has no choice but to follow her. Now, circumstances are forcing them to work together and he’s determined to protect her against any threat. If that means dying for her, he’s more than willing to. But she doesn’t want his protection. If anything, she’s determined to prove she’s stronger than everyone thinks.
She’s writing her own future…
Vega isn’t the same moody teenager who came to live with the Stavros pack all those years ago. With college behind her, she’s been recruited by a division of the government’s supernatural Black Ops. Trained and more than ready for her first mission, she doesn’t expect Gabriel to crash her assignment. To save her cover, they pretend to be a couple. But soon lines are blurred and neither can deny the incendiary attraction between them. As they race to stop a man who wants to sell out their people to the highest bidder, they find themselves fighting for a future together. With time running out, she has no choice but to rely on the irresistible male who’s turned her world upside down. Unfortunately, in order to save the woman he loves, Gabriel has to give her up.
Thoughts: As always, I loved this book by Katie Reus. While it can be read as a stand alone, it is best read in order. Fans of the series will recognize the characters, and I have been waiting for Vega’s story for a good long while! And Guardian of Darkness does not disappoint. I loved the chemistry between these two characters and the storyline – though I did want more. After living through all the angst and challenges this couple suffered through before being together, I kind of wanted to see a little more of them together! To see more of the gold at the end of the rainbow – that we finally reached after a crapload of evil demon spawn.
As I’ve said before though, every Reus book is worth its weight in gold! Can’t wait for more from the author.
