Check out the book tour for this book too, my blog link is at my profile.Wow, this was one of the most interesting reads I have read in awhile. From the moment I fell in love with the beautiful cover, until I started the first page. I was captivated right from the start.I never read a book quite like this one either. I never heard of the Sary, they are like guardian Angels I guess, but mostly their assignments are to prevent troubled people from committing suicide. I do not want to give too much away, so will keep this spoiler free as I can.I was really able to connect with the characters. I felt what they felt. Especially Julia, her pain and the emotions she brought were felt by me, and think they will for anyone reading this book. Even though lots of time has passed, she is still not able to let go of her guilt at the death of her companion (the man she loves) She still blames herself for his release from the Sary, and then his death (once released from the Sary, he was a normal human, in the middle of a war zone.) Her pain is so crushing, you feel it with her.The author does an amazing job with all of the emotions and turmoil.We jump back and forth in Julia's long life, to when she was with her companion Derek and the present time and her current assignment. But this is done very well; I did not feel lost at all. It's like Julia thinking back to that time, a recollection. And I enjoyed being able to learn about her and Derek.In the modern time, we have a new possible love interest, one who could help her move on (it's been 150 years, its time she moves on) and I really like him. I won't say much about him, as I want you to learn about him yourself.I at first did not feel connected to Julia's assignment Marcy, to me she was weak, with all the attempted suicides, and being walked all over. But i was glad Julia was there for her. I was also happy to see her stand up for herself later in the book, so that was good.There is a bit of suspense too, I was anxious on what would happen in a crucial part of this, a consequence to some actions, I don't want to say, for it would be a spoiler, but it was suspenseful for sure.There is only one little tiny thing I didn't like, and this is a totally personal preference to me. The descriptions of the characters are pretty vague, like I never did get a clear idea on what Juila looked like, or Marcy. But the guys were described, but I was not impressed with the descriptions, she goes on to describe the most gorgeous brown eyes, Brown eyes? Well, nothing great about that, it's the most common color, so to me it didn't scream supernatural great looks, etc as it should of.  But that's my personal taste of course. As we are talking about a type of angel, just expected something a little more unique and stand out.Overall, I loved this book a lot. I really hope there will be more in this line of a story. The whole Sary types are different for me, and would like to read more.5 out of 5 stars for me.I received a complimentary copy of this book for book tour and my honest review.
