I downloaded this book a while ago because I found the cover intriguing. I'm so sorry that I didn't read it sooner! The Guardian is the first book in the trilogy by Katie Klein, and I plan on buying the next two installments!At the beginning of the book, the main character, Genesis Green, is dating a boy she thinks is way out of her league. She and her mom work at a crappy diner, just barely scraping by. Carter, her boyfriend, is living the charmed life: anything he wants, he gets, but as a refreshing touch, he's not stuck up and head over heels in love with Genesis.The action begins when Genesis tries to break up with Carter one night when they're driving home. Carter wrecks and rolls the SUV, seriously injuring Genesis. Just before she loses consciousness, a warm voice calls out and tells her everything will be fine. A week later, she collapses in gym class and this same voice is heard, this time coming from an attractive man that carries her to safety. He later tells her his name is Seth, and he's her Guardian. His title is self-explanatory; basically, he keeps her from danger, but considering the two close calls, he's not doing such a great job.Genesis begins having terrifying visions and when they start coming true, the Guardians believe she can help them with their war against the Diablos. When they start coming after her, Genesis must pick sides and possibly risk losing Seth in the process.Now, my only negative part of this review, is that Genesis, who just got out of a relationship, falls in love with Seth almost immediately, without really knowing anything about him. It's not a major thing, and didn't take away from the story at all, just something that I noticed. It's still a great read that I would recommend to anyone.
