Guardian angel Greylyn saves innocent humans from their own inner demons or the more nefarious real ones. She’s overdue for some rest and relaxation, but upon finding her archenemy already entrenched at an authentic Irish bed and breakfast, she knows her vacation is over before it ever starts. Enemies for over four centuries, Greylyn has fought the dark guardian, Kael; and fought her desire for him. This time, however, she must work with the dashing dark guardian to protect innocent lives. It’s a deadly gamble. One she has no choice but to take.But the situation is far more treacherous than she realizes as a notorious fallen archangel holds the lives of a mother and her unborn child over Greylyn’s head to force her to consummate a dormant, but deadly prophecy. One so deadly that Heaven didn’t even write it down. Rekindled Prophecy: Greylyn the Guardian Angel is a contemporary fantasy novel with strong undertones of romance and sex appeal between two enemies – one working for Heaven, the other working for Hell.

“Never acknowledge the fear. A guardian does not have the luxury of giving in to fear.”—Rekindled Prophecy
Not to give away any spoilers, but at the end of the book, there is a Reader’s Guide. Had I read the Readers Guide first, my connection to the characters might have been stronger. As it is, I found it just a bit difficult to identify with the main character, Greylyn. She’s a guardian angel, tasked with the usual: protecting mortals from their catastrophic decisions and demonic influences.
Greylyn is very good at what she does, which you’d expect since she’s been honing her skills for over four hundred years. The characters are formulaic,although the plot is interesting. It’s also a pleasant juxtaposition between Greylyn’s angelic duties and the more mundane realities of her life.
Kelly, Greylyn’s best friend, is getting married. And she’s pregnant. Plus, the wedding photographer is Greylyn’s archenemy, Kael. Kael is, of course, a fallen angel—with a wicked sense of justice and a hidden agenda, one that ultimately involves Greylyn.
Having read “Rekindled Prophecy,” I’d given the book 3.5 stars in review. It’s a good enough read, only predictable. On the other hand, studying the Readers Guide, gives my overall rating a boost. Now, I’m anxious to re-read “Rekindled Prophecy,”reconsider the implications and possibilities—enough so that I certainly want to read the next book in the series.
