Wow! I didn't know what to expect with "Dark Dawn" and this was definitely an entirely different twist on the God/angels/creation story. It has been awhile since I read something in this genre and I'm really glad I did! My synopsis is going to seem vague and small but there really is no way not to give big chunks of the story away."Dark Dawn" is the story of The Guardians, a group of angels sent by God to Earth to protect humans from the Fae. The Fae want to control humans and take over Earth, making humans into sex slaves and food.The first angel Salathiel (Seth), along with the rest of the Guardians have been traveling Earth forever, battling the Fae but have no real information to help them figure out how to defeat them for good. They speak with God but he doesn't give them a large amount of information. They must work together as a group and live among the humans but also must not develop any relationships with humans per God's rule.After this goes throughout time, it becomes harder and harder for the angels to work together and not develop some form of opinion on their purpose and how to go about it. When an ancient artifact winds up in the wrong hands, a local curator, all these relationships are tested. Will the angels turn on each other or will they separate? With Seth's growing relationship with the curator and other drama within the Guardians, will they be able to ensure the artifact doesn't get loose?If you are looking for a different read and have always been engaged by angels and God, this is a definite story for you to read! I absolutely cannot wait for the next book in the series and to read more about Seth and the other Guardians and how their lives begin to change when they ignore God.
