1.5 Stars to a very rushed book. Gianna Botticelli is the daughter of a Los Angeles maffia boss. Even though she's still struggling with her mothers death, she's as content with her job and life as it gets. But her world turns upside down when she meets the sexy, mysterious Caleb. Who is he? Better yet... WHAT is he? When Caleb introduces her to a new world, she's struggling with the sacrifices she will have to make. Is she the key to saving everyone? I'm so sorry to say this (Jennifer) but this book was ridiculous on a new high level. And Jennifer, please don't take offense :) This review might contain tiny spoilers.23 pages through the book Caleb and Gianna are already saying "I love you" to one another. At that point i was like - So let me get this straight. Gianna's house was robbed. Herfarther died, and she didn't even shed any tears yet. She's just like 'Yeah. Cool. He's dead. No big deal'. She has been injured and abducted then locked up. She finds she's surrendered by a freaking vampire clan that actually feeds straight from humans. But she somehow fell in love with one? After knowing him for, like, what? 3 days (counting the days she's been abducted)? If you tell me that's realistic then i don't know what's wrong with you. Who would actually believe that?Then, we got another situation where she actually meets Caleb. They're ,like, getting in the car, cause she has to drive him to her house so he can meet up with her dad. Caleb is like chilling there, acting all cool and amused. He starts talking about Gianna's dead mother, and guess what Gianna does? She stops the freaking car and tells him to get out. Next thing we know she has a gun aimed at his head, shouting for him to never speak of her mother again. Don't get me wrong. I love woman with bad attitude, sarcastic and sassy mouths. I'm one! But Gianna was way over the freaking top. She had some serious anger issues. Sometimes i was like "What the heck is wrong with her? Is she mental or what?" I loved Caleb. He was great! The characters are not well described nor really well developed. We don't even get a background on Caleb! We don't even know how old the main characters are! That was way annoying. Overall, The Guardians definitely needs to be rewritten all over again. It was not a satisfying read. The romance and the book in general was ,straight to the base, ridiculous and so rushed. At times i thought it was written by a teenager. Thank you Jennifer for providing me a PDF copy! Please don't hate me for the rest of my life and don't take offense.
