Providence Series

This review is for my girl, Sara, who loved this series as much as I did.

There is a method to my madness when it comes to finding a book. In the case of Providence, Amazon recommended Beautiful Disaster, which I loved so much that I wanted to read everything Jamie McGuire had written. I stumbled on Providence and I was not disappointed.

The Providence Series is an angels vs. demons story with a romance mixed in. If I were to ever write a book, this is the kind of book I would want to write. I know there are a lot of supernatural, immortal books out there, so that theme is overused, but Providence really stands out on its own.

Its the story of Nina and Jared. After the death of Nina's father, Jared comes into her life. She knows there is something different about Jared and once the truth comes out, the tie that binds them is much greater than she could ever imagine. He will protect her at all costs, but he is going to go against Heaven and Hell to save her.

 

Goosebumps, I tell you.

Requiem is the second installment for the Providence Series.

Creepy, right?

Requiem is more darker than Providence. It opens with Nina having these horrible nightmares involving her and Jared's fathers. Jared is on a mission to find a way to fix everything that is against them and find answers to all of the problems.

They discover the only way to survive is to fulfill their prophesy and pray that Heaven will step into save them.

I read alot of series. In fact, I hardly ever read a stand alone book. The middle books are always a filler. They keep the story going, while building the anticipation for the final book. Requiem does that perfectly. Its dark, mysterious, and it really leaves you wanting more going into the final book.

Which leads me to Eden.

Wow. I remember how I felt when I first saw this cover. Chills went down my spine, literally. Thats what good books should do to you.

I want you guys to read this book, so I'm not going to say much about the story. I will say this. Going into Eden, I had an idea of what would happen and I was right. Eden did everything I thought it would and I was happy with how it ended, but when I finished, I felt kind of empty.

By the time Eden came out, I had my friend, Sara, wrapped up into the series, as well, so we read Eden a day apart. We both agreed that it felt rushed and a little unbelievable. At the same time, I don't know that I would've changed much about how it ended.

Regardless of how I felt with Eden, this is one of my favorite series, ever. Like I said above, if I were to ever write a book, this is the kind I would want to write. I don't think there is a better compliment to give than that.
