terrific romantic fantasy

Jean-Marc de Devereaux Guardian of the House of the Shadows loses much of his essence when a demon depletes his soul. Guardian of the House of Flames Isabelle De Bouvard uses her mage powers to enable Jean-Marc to regain much of his soul and live, but the cost to her is immense. She suffers from amnesia after over extending herself.

Meanwhile Isabelle's twin sister Lillane, Guardian of the House of Blood, owns the remaining part of Jean Marc's soul. She tries to use that to manipulate him into killing her sibling; if Isabelle dies, Lillane will begin a world of evil under her control. As Jean-Marc struggles to control the dark that coaxes him to kill the woman who saved his life, he must open the remainder of his soul to Isabelle although that means falling in love.

The latest Guardian romantic fantasy (see DAUGHTER OF THE BLOOD and DAUGHTER OF THE FLAMES) is a terrific entry due to the sacrifices made by the lead couple to save their beloved and the threat of her twin who owns the rest of his soul. That weird triangle makes for a powerful tale as Jean-Marc struggles between the pulls of the sisters; as he loves the one he must kill while hates the one he obeys. Fans will appreciate this character driven exhilarating trek into the Guardian world of Nancy Holder.

disappointing read for last in the daughters trilogy

I have waited almost 2 years for this book and was a little disappointed. The relationship development between Jean Marc and Isabella was very disappointing, it just wasn't there. She started out with amnesia and couldn't remember what she was, plus she lost all her gifts. This was the reason her relationship with Jean Marc was at a stalemate.The author drug this out for most of the book. Got boring. The ending seemed hurried and didn't flow very well. It jumped from them being enemies to realizing they loved each other to being back in New York, all in a matter of pages. For this series you must read the other 2 in the order written to understand anything at all. A word of caution, there is alot of blood and gore. If you you are a mother of babies or young children there is scene which I found distasteful involving 2 young children. The author mentioned them twice and made sure the readers knew one was a toddler. I know this was a fictional story and a very small part of the book but as I was reading this my 17 month grandson was sleeping upstairs and it bothered me. Anyway if you do decide to read this book reading the other 2 is a must.
