Salvation (Guardian Angel #3) by Skyla Madi




Salvation (Guardian Angel #3)

ARC for Review

Gr’s Summary

In the aftermath of a battle that forced Ruby to flee the safety of the guardian angels, she settles into a small town, hoping to blend in and forget about the ones she loved. It isn’t until Hunter stumbles across her working in a bar and a well-timed email from Ivan Aleksandrov that she realised she could go back to Sage Sanctum—for a few days, at least.

Out for revenge, Lucian will stop at nothing until he has Ruby for himself, but he isn’t the only one that needs her. The council, a group of gods/goddesses have a mysterious hand in Ruby’s return to Sage Sanctum and Mr Aleksandrov is eager to find out what it is.

Destroying Lucian is the least of her worries when Ruby comes face to face with Eli De Luca, the love of her life. It seems her departure has affected him more than she thought it would, but his frustration with her isn’t strong enough to hide the electricity that crackles relentlessly between them.

Determined to end her very real nightmare once and for all, Ruby fights the biggest battle of her life, one that affects not only her, but everyone involved.

LOVED THIS ENDING!! 


WHY SO MUCH RIA? 


I’LL TELL YOU! 



FLIPPING AWESOME!  Every one was happy!  WAIT!  I take that back, My Fav’s were happy!  Ms.  Madi leaves the perfect blend of questions unanswered, and general turmoil running about! The ending wasn’t all unicorns, and pots of gold, but there was a certain sense of relief.  At the same time there are some things I CANNOT wait to find out!  I’M MOSDEF continuing this series.  If you’ve started it, I know you will be following it also, if you haven’t (and you meet the criteria) shame shame shame on you!


My Fav’s 

Ruby
Total super Heelian/Godess hybrid BADA$$!  Grade AA Jumbo!  The buck stops here.   Ruby floors me in Salvation! She has grown so much!  All of her potential.  I’m so glad she has embraced the person I knew she could be!  A fierce and loyal friend, Ruby wears her heart on her sleeve, she will defend what's hers until the end.

Eli
HONEST, sexy, committed, loving, supportive, generally amazing to be around...  Duh!  Oh, Did I mention sexy? Whew, I’d hate to miss that one ;)  Okay there are several occasions where I could see any one, other than Eli making the wrong decision.  I’m so GLAD there is no one else!  Eli is the ultimate warrior and I’m beyond excited to see where their story goes!! :)


My Rating 

4.5 Bartender, Charmed Ruby, E-vite, Council, Final acceptance, Possible Cure, Secret weapon, Pile of dust, Never letting go filled stars! Start this series! The books are fun and they suck you right in, never letting go!  A New FAV OF MINE!!

Pub January 1st 2013

ARC For Review

Gr’s Summary

What if everything you knew, everything you believed was a lie? 



For Ruby Moore life doesn’t slow down. It’s just one roller coaster ride after another and when the higher power comes to visit, Ruby’s world is shaken to its foundations. He offers her a job and if she wants to protect those she loves, she has no choice but to accept it. 


Face to face once again with love, loss and death, Ruby is being forced to sacrifice her own freedom in order to protect her world from the clutches of the evil vampires and if she fails, her loved ones will have to pay the price.






The Way I See It

One thing I’ve noticed with books is that as they progress they get better! What about movies?  Not so much. Seriously! Unless the movie’s are done after books, they will more than likely be a disappointment. Having said that! WOW! Guardian Angel #2 was SUPER.FLIPPING.DEVOUR-ABLE! You should definitely come take a bite of this one. ;)

S-oul, lost without Eli, Ruby will seek solace within her friends.
U-nwilling to lose, Hunter will make a grievous mistake, costing everything.
N-ecessary, a huge sacrifice will be made to keep those Ruby loves safe.

K-ind, a stranger helps Ruby when she needs it most.
I-ndifferent, a father refuses to see whats in front of him. He will pay the ultimate price.
S-tranger, no longer the boy he was, Hunter will fail Ruby’s trust.
S-trength, no longer the girl she was, Ruby will show everyone the power she wields.
E-ruption from her soul, Ruby is transformed.  She knows who she is and what she must face.
D-estiny in her hands, Ruby will face the events to come head on! Even if it means her heart will shatter along the way.

Fist Pump! Sun Kissed was soooo much fun! Never a dull moment, from the first page to the last Ms. Madi will keep you at the edge of your seat! There are so many ups and downs and CRAZY GOOD twists! Several times I found myself staring at the pages open mouthed. Seriously.Embarrassing.I.Know! Good thing everyone knows I’m a little silly, what with investing all of my emotions into a book I enjoy... ;)


My Fav's

Ruby
Let the growth begin! Ruby develops so much in SK. I saw her take stuff on in stride, that would break most! A fighter through and through. I never doubted she would develop into a total Bad A$$! Still beautiful and caring, she embraces who she is to the core. By doing so she shows everyone, she is a force to be reckoned with!

Eli
Okay well my wish for these two is looking bleak. Why oh why Eli!! Eli plays a key role in Ruby’s development, I love that he FINALLY accepts the way he feels for her. He is her rock and will do whatever it takes to keep her safe even if it comes to death. OMG their situation is soo heart breaking. I want Eli and Ruby to be happy already! I will say this... there is a teeny tiny glimmer of hope... I hope something comes of it! :)


**I have good news and bad news... Bad NEWS: talk about a flipping cliffhanger! Good NEWS: Salvation book #3 is out so you can be like me and jump right in!**

Your Guardian Angel (Guardian Angel #1)




Pub December 2012

ARC For Review

Gr’s Summary
For Ruby Moore life is far more complicated than that of your average teen, for she is in no way average. Ruby is a vampire and her life as a vampire is far from traditional.

It has been one year since her normal life was brutally taken from her. Still adjusting to the shock of the change from mortal to immortal, her world is rocked again and she is taken under the wings of a guardian angel back to Sage Sanctum- a school beyond reach from the vampires that are determined to destroy her. 

There, she is freed from her vampiric chains and her normal needs and urges return. However a new urge arises… Lust. A forbidden lust toward her savior, her guardian angel.

Attempting to control these desires is difficult, very difficult and when things couldn't possibly get any worse, her situation becomes life or death as someone, somewhere in the school is aiding those who want her dead.






The Way I See It 

Yay!!!  I LOVED THIS BOOK!!!!  Your Guardian Angel had it all!!  It had Love, Action, Suspense, Mystery, Drama, and my favorite, ANGELS!!!  Seriously, as angel, paranormal, young adult story goes, Ms. Madi kicks serious tail!!  Eeeep! Giddy Giddy Giddy!  A big FAT thank you goes to Nereyda over at YA Bound for introducing this wonderful series to me!!  Seriously, unputtadownable, and great stuff going on in the pages of this wonderful book!


Y-ears with her mom knowing love, truly Ruby was happy.
O-usted, betrayed by her love, a mother will sacrifice all for her child.
U-nnerved, outmatched Ruby finds herself trapped.
R-escued from herself and from those who seek to cause harm.

G-rotesque, a creature is brought back to the light, no longer a being of evil.
U-nable to hide her feelings, to fit in, to accept who she is supposed to become.
A-nonymous threats, will cause her to betray those she should trust.
R-elief and anguish, her family is safe, but she is face to face with her worst nightmare.
D-angerous encounter, Ruby will have to fight for her life.
I-nnocence ripped away, as so much death and betrayal surround her.
A-nger, at the lives that were lost and thrown away, so much sorrow.
N-ausea, because of what Ruby had to do, to live, to keep those she loves alive, and to avenge.

A-ccused of laws broken, trusts shattered, and sullied hands.
N-ear miss, Ruby felt what it would be like to lose everything she has worked so hard for.

E-arnestly he is giving his heart.  Hunter will wait for Ruby, until she realizes the truth.
L-ove Lost, called upon by the higher power, Ruby wonders if she will ever see Eli again.


I seriously had such a great time reading this story.  Ms. Madi made me feel like I was walking along the halls beside Ruby. I enjoyed the secondary characters soo much!  Everyone fit in the story seamlessly!  I highly, highly recommend this book for Young Adult and Angel fans!!

My Favs 


Ruby
She is beautiful and has a kind heart.  She has a strong will, and knows how to fight with it for good.  After being put in an awful situation, most people would have given in to the darkness, not Rubes!!  I’m so excited to see what she will become.

Eli
He has experienced so much loss, but his heart is still beautiful.  He will do anything to ensure Ruby’s safety.  I see Eli through Ruby’s eyes, and I must say I like what I see. ;)  I can’t wait to get to know Eli better, and I’m keeping my fingers crossed that these two will find a way to one and other.


My Fav Quote 

“Since guardian angels don’t actually have big feathery wings, it must mean I’m protected by a chicken.” 

~Ruby
