Review: Good continuation and unique story, but..

I've really been enjoying the difference this series and author has written.  I immediately finished "Son of Eden", the first book in this series, and immediately downloaded "Daugther of Eden", the continuation.This book started out a little weak for me and took longer to get into than the first book in the series.  I felt like there was a lot of time spent in the beginning of this book that probably could have provided a more exciting plot.First, the negative parts of this book.  I found Emily's father to be a little too compliant during his part in this book.  While I understand that there were readers that felt he believed and accepted the reality of Guardian's too easily in the first novel, I felt it could be possible, especially the fact that they offered him solid proof of their existance.However, in this second part of the series, I have to wonder if I can view him as realistic at all, as he basically has no problem sending his daugther off to Eden with her paranormal boyfriend where she is to fulfill some type of prophecy.  And where we know early on her life is in danger as a result of her being a part of this prophecy.  Comparing the father of this book to the father of book one was a little unbelievable.  In book one, he warns her about doing something as simple as picking up his tuxedo at the dry cleaners in a bad part of town.  In book two, he willingly sends her off to the unknown where who knows what can happen to her with nothing more than a claim that "he believes in fate" and there "is a reason and purpose for everything."  This part of his personality and character was not really living up to who he was in the first book.Now for the good points.  When you are like me and you read a lot of paranormal/urban fantasty books it sometimes becomes tedious and hard to find something unique.  I believe this author has captured a truly unique storyline.  Yes there have been books about Guardians/Guardian Angels before, but this authors story that follows her characters is unique in a different way.The love between Emily and Alexander is intense, and their love and devotion to one another is greatly tested in this book.  The story picks up and moves quickly keeping you turning the pages.This book ends leaving us waiting to find out about the battle that is to come and on the edge about a vision Alexander received and what the outcome will be when it actually occurs.I am anxiously looking forward to the third, and I believe, final book in the series.  It will be interesting to see where they end up and what their losses are.
