My review of Forever book 2 in the Guardian series, by Gillian Joy published by Smashwords.I was given this book as a gift in exchange for an honest review.Gillian Joy has done it again.  The second installment to the Guardian series has more than surpassed my expectations for a sequel.  To many times I have been disappointed in the past with a sequel that is just a regurgitation of the previous book with some slight variances.  This is definitely not the case.  There are more than a handful of times that I was completely knocked off my chair.  The surprises are unrelenting and truly appreciated.Hannah is reborn into a life where it kind of resembles mine.  Married with two children, a girl and a boy, and having to juggle the everyday responsibilities of a mother. I feel like Hannah has grown since the last book.  She is still very driven, determined and unwavering when it comes to her principles, but in book two she seems less self-centered. Almost every moment she makes she is constantly thinking about her children.  The love and sacrifice of a mother illuminates throughout the book, which kept me intrigued to the very end.  I love it when a main character morphs into a being that I can directly relate too.  Granted, she has a vamp as a best friend who helps her take care of the kids and maintain the household.  And there are the occasional visits from the neighborly fairies... other than that I would say it can mirror any mother's lifestyle.Gillian does an extraordinary job of taking the reader into the world of the fairies.  The world that she creates for us definitely does not resemble Pixie Hollow.  There is a dark underworld that we are unexpectedly thrust into and have to witness some cruel and harsh laws of the fairies.  This is the first time I have ever experienced a dark menacing existence of fairies and I am truly grateful for Gillian to give me something else to obsess over other than vampires and werewolves. There are several things that manifest throughout the book that are added to Hannah's lists of responsibilities.  I am left with the chore of trying to identify who is now a friend or a foe. There are a plethora of scenarios that are swimming in my head.  As if I needed another carrot to dangle in front of me while I wait for book 3.Hannah's true love, Gabriel is still in the picture... does she continue to push him away?  Or does she give into her desires and ignores the" laws "of the Angels? Please read this book to find out.  The journey is definitely worth it! Now I am stuck wondering if there is going to be a book three and if so, how quickly can I get it on my Kindle.  Another series added to my list of obsessions and I have only Gillian to thank.  Love love love this book.  Keep writing Gillian!!!Michelle HunterWaAr
