House of Guardians

Book excerpt: What if you were destined to be with the son of Hades, but you were crazy in love with the son of Apollon? "Is this really a demigod? I don't exactly know what my expectations were - it's not like I have anything to compare it to. But I certainly did not expect a demigod to be walking around in ripped jeans with a beat up face and complaining about a headache. I didn't expect someone with such sad, tired eyes. But I also know that under normal circumstances, that same face is flawless." "This story is dark, intelligent, and entirely gripping." ~ Horrorgirldonna"Has everything a girl could ever ask for in a book." ~ Amazon Review"An emotional ride." ~ Goodreads Review HOUSE OF GUARDIANSWhen 17-year-old Laurel Harper decides to go live with her estranged father and stepfamily, she's unaware of the fact that her fate was already sealed the day she was born.

Readers should know it contains violence, strong language, and graphic sexual content. Book 1 and 2 end on a cliffhanger.
