Being a Sentinel isn’t all fairytales and secret gardens.

Sure, jumping through books into the world’s most beautiful libraries to protect humans from mystical creatures is awesome. No one knows that better than Gia Kearns, but she could do without the part where people are always trying to kill her. Oh, and the fact that Pop and her had to move away from her friends and life as she knew it.

And if that isn’t enough, her boyfriend, Arik, is acting strangely. Like, maybe she should be calling him “ex,” since he’s so into another girl. But she doesn’t have time to be mad or even jealous, because someone has to save the world from the upcoming apocalypse, and it looks like that’s going to be Gia.

Maybe. If she survives.




Why I'm waiting on this one!

Well, this is another great new find!!  I had NO idea such an AWESOME book existed!  The plot  includes several things I LOVE -- a kick-butt female protagonist, books and libraries, and quite a bit of suspense! I'm SO very intrigued! And, of course, that cover just seals the deal! I'm staking my claim!!



This is the first book in the series, with an equally GORGEOUS cover!!

  2. So I've read the first book in the series and I can say, yes, you need to read it. I really enjoyed it and if I recall, it was a 4/5 read for me. I like the covers, but for some reason, when I see them, the girl always reminds me of Aria (Lucy Hale) from Pretty Little Liars (a guilty pleasure of mine). I do think you'd like this series as it has some really interesting elements in it - plus, LIBRARIES!

    1. Hi, Barb!

      Oh, you've read the first book? Four out of five stars is really good!

      How interesting that the girl on the cover reminds you of a character from "Pretty Little Liars". And that's another series I would like to read.... It just never ends! Lol.

      Yeah, I will ABSOLUTELY love any series that has LIBRARIES and BOOKS in it!!

      Thanks for the GREAT comment!! <3 :)
