The Enlighten Series

*universal intro theme music plays* welcome children, elderly, teens, and extra terrestrials to this a most epic review of the enlighten series. its been a pretty good week a cute boy asked me on a date so that's freaking cool. i tried to be smooth like all the kick ass heroines in my books but i just turned bright red and smiled like a chubby nub. oh well. so in other awesome news i have been in contact with kristin van resseghem about when she will be writing the third book in the series (there are two books so far and a third on the way) and anyhow i just feel like i need to make it clear I DO NOT GET PAID FOR THIS. trust me i wish i did. and kristin van resseghem did not contact me asking me to do this.... i stalked her like a crazy fangirl and i feel like its only fair to repay her kind emails with a review. so here we go. swords and stilettos or the enlighten series as it is also known is a pretty great series about a girl named zoe jabril. zoe is just an average run in the mill teen until out of literally no where her best friends reveals hes her guardian angel and she is fated to bring together fairies, werewolves, nephilim, and angels together to fight evil. did i mention there is nephilim who is super cute and when they touch she gets a lil shock. 0 to 100 REAL FREAKING QUICK. join zoe as she makes new friends and keeps the old one is silllvverr and the others golllddddd. sorry. but like not really. come join zoe as she figures out that there are so many mystical and magical things in her life that she never knew about, watch as she touches an electric cattle fence every time she bumps into a cute boy, and come listen to words. it's a book so theres bound to be words. okay i feel like the first thing i need to say is the first few pages you meet zoe and the slightly girly title coupled with the fact that she says something along the lines of i looked into the window of a store and made sure not one hair on my head was out of place and then starts talking about her coffee order and all i could think was "oh great shes gonna be one of those annoying girls who is worried about a chipped nail while running from demons". but trust me when i say this is the only vain thing she says a page or so later you see the real her who honestly doesnt care about what people think and starts to kick ass which is just awesome. honestly i loved the story it was fairly simple but not borning and pretty easy to keep up with. the characters are all well written and none of them annoy or vex me so thats great. AND OH. THE CLIFFHANGER. lets just say the end of the second book in the series is one of the most intense cliffhangers i have read next to the marked series or the oxygen series. i am a big fan of the stories with the main characters who basically pull a hannah montana, like one day they are average and the next they are fighting monsters and evil. BUT. and i mean this is a kardashian sized but. there are some stories where the main character has this life switch and they suck at fighting evil or they have a crap attitude about the whole thing and then there are the main characters that take to these completely new worlds or battles like a duck to water. this book is the latter. zoe isnt a damsel in distress and she kind of slays the whole situation, im the savior of the world?? *panics for a few hours* okay im ready lets do this. overall it was a solid read i do recommend it for anyone who is into paranormal romance. comment for suggestions
thanks for reading
