angiebayne 's review for:
The Guardian
by Sherrilyn Kenyon
Seth is an Egyptian demigod who has been trapped in Azmodea the Hell dimension for 4500 years. He has been pretty much tortured for that entire time. So he is pretty much messed up in the head, he doesn't trust anyone. And why should he when everyone he has trusted has betrayed him. Lydia a Dream Hunter who is in Azmodea to rescue her father Solin who has been captured by Seth at Noir's request. Noir of course is the one who tortures Seth and only let's him out to do his bidding. Noir wants the Key to Olympus (the magical item that will let him into Olympus and let him kill the Olympic gods), which only Solin knows where it is. Seth holds Lydia hostage and sparks fly. She finds out about his torture past, they learn to trust each other, they flee Azmodea and live happily ever after.
Of course there is a lot of stuff in between there. Both Seth and Lydia are very flawed characters and I like that. They have dark pasts and trust issues (and there is the whole hostage issue). This is a good glimpse into the main storyline running through the series and gives us glimpses of a lot of the old cast of Kenyon's characters. I like how her books can be stand alone, but you can read them in order and get the thread that is running through them. We see the Malachi, Jaden, Thorn, Noir, and many others here that are all playing a larger part in the overall scheme of this series.
This is a good romance, believable (if you can believe people can fall in love after a couple of days locked in a room together). And the story and characters work. If you like Kenyon's Dark Hunter or Dream Hunter series you will like this one.
