This sweet and inspring novella is the 5***** work of two authors - Tina Pollick (who wrote Gabriel which I reviewed last month and thoroughly enjoyed) and Elizabeth (Bethany) Rose, a new author with a book coming out in the near future.This is the story of Zoe and Evan. Each are the last of their family lines, a witch and a Templar Knight in the 21st century, tasked with guarding and then reclaiming humanities last hope. They struggle in the battle that has been fought since time began - the war between those who love and wish for peace and those who delight in chaos and crave war and suffering. Another battle as old as time, the snark and dislike between a man and a woman who don't want to be attracted to each other but are, rages on along side. Both battles make for enlightening, entertaining and action packed reading!I liked the book until we got closer to the end and then I truly fell in love with this book. The last quarter of this book is simply perfect. The way the authors - and you can tell the difference between this book and one that Tina has written on her own - are able to wrap up the story  in ending the battle, reuniting lost loves, saving humanities' hope and preserving her and our futures was remarkable in its simplicity, complexity and balance. And even though they tied up this story beautifully and there is no need for a second book, the opportunity exists for someone to continue this story into further generations.As mentioned, I was keenly aware (in a positive way) of the differences  in this novella that came from having Bethany Rose coauthor this novella with Tina Pollick. I enjoy Tina's writing immensely and I am truly looking forward to hearing Bethany on her own as well.
