Title: Guarding Angel (Fallen Redemption Book #1)
Author: SL Saboviec
Genre: Adult Fantasy
Release Date: April 28th, 2014
Reveal Host: Lady Amber's Tours
Synopsis:
Guardian angel Enael can’t seem to keep her human Wards in check.
They’re the ones who choose their paths before reincarnating—she’s just there
to help make sure they stay on track. But it’s not as easy as it might look.
When she meets and falls in love with charismatic Kaspen, a fellow Guardian, Enael’s feelings about Heaven, Hell, demons, and the life she’s known are turned upside down. Worse, angel-turned-demon Yasva, Kaspen’s former love, still holds him in her clutches. Even as Yasva works toward obtaining complete control of Earth, she taunts and haunts Kaspen’s and Enael’s lives.
Now Enael is forced to face her past (which is centuries long and bursting with secrets), her present (which is terribly unfulfilling and full of questions), and her future (which becomes more uncertain as time passes). Armed with a newfound love and fear of losing it all, she must figure out how to save the world—-and the angel she loves. Which side will win? Who will Kaspen choose? Will Heaven and Earth continue to exist, or will everything go to Hell?

Excerpt:
My Ward, Daniel, put the horse in the barn, untacked him,
closed the barn door, and made his way to the house. It dawned on us that the
farmstead seemed unusual. The house was dark. No candle from Lily waiting up
for him, no cheery fire from her having stoked the hearth. The only light came
from the moon overhead.
As Daniel walked from the stable, I tried to feel for the
presence of humans or gaze through the wall to see who was inside. I
couldn’t—it was as though a black curtain veiled the house.
Something waited for Daniel. Written in neat lettering in Daniel’s
Book had been what was about to unfold, the consequences for sleeping with
Miriam a second time.
Maybe it’s not too late to stop this. My thought was
irrational, but I desperately wanted to redeem myself. Perhaps I could convince
him to feel guilt, remorse, and contrition when he came face-to-face with
death. That should be worth something to the Council of Seraphim.
I glided into the dining space ahead of Daniel. No lights
burned. Upstairs, the bed was made. The pantry cabinet was closed. The hearth
had been swept. The spinning wheel sat in the corner, but the basket of sewing
supplies was missing. All the chairs were pushed under the dining table,
except—
Daniel’s wife Lily sat at the table, rifle pointed at the
door.
