Jared Price is a Celestial, one of a race of beings often taken for angels. Exiled on earth, he's offered a chance to return to the Celestial Realm. All he has to do is protect Cassie Lewis from a demonic assassin.
A genuine psychic, Cassie can't resist Jared's Celestial aura, but she doesn’t trust him. He's hiding something behind his strong mental barriers and she's learned the hard way that what you don't know can hurt you. But when a demon tries to kill her, Cassie has no one else to turn to.
Then the stakes are raised even higher, and Jared must decide if Cassie's love is worth sacrificing a dream he's held on to for 150 years.
Frankie Robertson has hit a solid note with her paranormal romance, Lightbringer. She deftly weaves a world where celestial beings engage with humans, where magic happens and an incantation can bring a devil to Earth.
The course of Cassie and Jared’s romance is successfully intertwined with a suspenseful mystery. Ms. Robertson does an excellent job of keeping the reader guessing, but also of wrapping up the loose ends in order to leave the reader satisfied. Her writing style is succinct yet flows nicely across the page, and she does an excellent job conveying characterization. I felt her Cassie and Jared’s angst, dread, and hope through the twists of the plot.
I enjoyed Lightbringer and look forward to the next story in Ms. Robertson’ universe, First Born. I hope that story is as complete with excitement and redemption as this one proved to be.
If you’re looking for a quick read that is nevertheless packed with action and romance, you’ll do well choosing Lightbringer.
