5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic! May 29, 2011

Format:Paperback

The first chapter got me hooked. I wanted to know more about Kara. Kim creates a world I would love to be in, a world full of angels. Kara is a rookie who learns the ropes through David, her mentor. David is so much fun to be around; it's hard for Kara not to have these feelings toward him. Their task is to save a person's life, but they find themselves fighting demons instead, and unable to fulfill their assignment successfully. Later, they found out that Kara has been marked from both sides. The twist and turns of the story captivated me that I couldn't put the book down. The ending was unique and different. I was pleasantly surprised. I hope there will be a book two because I enjoyed the chemistry between the two main characters. This well-written, entertaining, original story was so much fun to read, I would recommend it to all readers.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Wonderful Tale March 7, 2012

By Teresa Cypher

Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase

Whoever said you get what you pay for--never read this book. It was free. And it was certainly worth the time to read it--which was in one day-- in a couple of sittings. Richardson created a new twist in the afterlife in "Marked Soul Guardians". I wasn't quite sure how I felt about the book in the first few pages. I was leery of *spoiler alert* having such a young protagonist die in the opening pages, but then again, how can you write a book about the afterlife and guardian angels--if your character doesn't move on to the afterlife? Richardson handled it with a light touch, not allowing it to become the focus as the story unfolded. What happens after her untimely death was the focus of the story.

It was a lighthearted story with a little humor worked in, along with an excellent crisis created for Kara Nightingale.

The ending had a sweet and wonderful twist.

This is a really fun read for young adults, and adults too. I have already purchased the next book in the series.
