Abigail Cells is a good person, or so everyone seems to
think. It's how she got Tristan to be her guardian angel,
even if she doesn't know what he is. What Tristan didn't
expect from his new assignment is having Gideon, resident
evil angel, as a part of it. Tristan struggles to protect
Abigail, though she really needs no help, while Gideon
fights to take her down...so long as he doesn't fall for her
first.
DOMINION by Melody Manful is a book full of surprises.
Before I started the story, I worried that it might turn out
to be full of cliché angel stuff with a love triangle
complete with a damsel in distress. I usually have that
worry right before I read anything with angels, two guys,
and a girl. However, DOMINION is far from any stereotype of
clichéd story. The hidden surprises and daring originality
in this novel take you from the start and pull you head
first throughout the rest of the story. My favorite example
of this comes in the main character, Abigail. From the first
chapter, she is clearly a strong, fierce young woman. Here
is a female lead who knows how to defend herself and loves
the thrill of being strong and powerful. Her personality is
so fun and exciting while also having a surprising depth and
relatability that puts her far from the norm damsel in
distress type.
Gideon is another character that flies off the page. His wit
and sharp humor make me want to laugh and occasionally slap
him. His character development and inner turmoil make him an
engaging character to discover and fall in love with. There
are hints of a love triangle between him, Abigail, and
Tristan, but only hints that, while I might wish weren't
there at all, are not in your face or overdone. The three of
them have battles and relationships that propel the story
continuously further into the action-packed plot that leaves
you holding your breath at the very end.
Overall, I sincerely love DOMINION. It isn't perfect for me
with the still hints of a love triangle and a slightly
random attack in the middle of the story, but those did not
stop me from loving the characters and wanting to read the
next book in the series as soon as possible.
I Dare You. Look Over Your Shoulders. Do You See Them? They
are behind you... They are always behind you. Abigail Cells
had a nightmare the day before she met Gideon, the new guy
in school who has every girl drooling just to be near him.
In her nightmare, she was murdered by a magical creature. As
she gets to know Gideon, she begins to remember pieces of
her nightmare, and was shocked when Gideon turned out to be
the creature from her nightmare. Who is Gideon really?
Should Abby allow herself to fall completely for him, or is
he the next disaster waiting to happen? ***This is a re-
