The Battle heats up in this not to miss sequel

A great addition to what's shaping up to be a kickass awesome series. I love the characters and their unique personalities. This book focused on Bels and her charge Ashe. They complimented each other well. The interaction and tension was sweet and sexy. The storyline was paced nicely and I enjoyed the twists and turns in the plot. I can't wait to read more and discover more about the other characters and how the thickening plot turns out. The battle between good verses evil heats up with each Darkling caught in the middle, who will prevail and who will fall? That's what I can't wait to find out!

This is just a quick review, my full review will be up this week.
Thank you Ava Vixion for the amazing gift of Rising Sun for review. And it’s only fair that I in turn write a fair and unbiased review in turn.

This is Bels turn to be in the spotlight. As she is the Guardian of the dynamic Ashe!

LOVED IT, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS SERIES

I liked this second book of The League of Guardians as we caught glimpses of the main characters from the first book and then continued the story. The side-stories of secondary characters had me intrigued with the coming war, and wondering how things were going in the Underworld. I liked Asher and Bels story, but I thought the dialogue (internal and external) was a little overdone with using the same slang over and over. I think this book could be tightened up and shorter, but overall I enjoyed the story.

>Book review - Rising Sun

>I am an independent reviewer. This book is the second in the League of Guardians series and ends in an HEA for the main couple. Ashe was first seen in the torture cavern with Ferrian. The guardians are unaware that Ashe is the next dark angel. Kakabel is the Guardian angel assigned to keep an eye on Ashe. Ashe is a complex individual with a huge heart and a somewhat mysterious background. His nightmares foreshadow a surprise coming in the future. Besides the romance between Kakabel and Ashe, there are a lot of conflicts in the Angel realm.

>The violence is once again vividly described, especially the torture the watcher is going through in hell. This book has a few twists that are hard to keep track of due to the unique terminology in this fantasy world. I loved the physical transformation of Ashe from relative weakling to ripped strong man and revisiting the romance from book one between Remi and Ferrian.

>The main theme of the story is an ultimate showdown between good and evil. Players are aligning themselves in books one and two, setting up book three for an awesome battle. The author's gift for description, especially of the gag-worthy variety, keeps the pages turning. This book is appropriate for an adult audience. I am giving the story 4 stars.

Another fabulous installment in The League Of Guardians series by Ava Vixion! I've adored Ashe since first meeting him & Ava brings you right into his world, describing the hell he's enduring with shockingly attentive detail. Miss Vixion is a unique voice in the Urban Fantasy genre & she's a voice you'll want to hear! I seriously ran into a wall reading, because I couldn't ever put the book down & carried it everywhere!! Fans of urban fantasy: Pick this series up today! It's fast-paced, different, terrifying & intriguing, all at once!
