An action-packed, monster fighting fun…
Fantasy mingles with superhero fun to form the background of Meredith’s entertaining first installment in her superhero fantasy series. It’s been 800 years. Elizabeth has been living a quiet life, discreetly helping humanity while keeping her true identity hidden. When an asteroid falls toward Earth, Elizabeth has no choice but to fly in space and try to prevent the collision. The incident blows her cover, and she is forced to assume a costumed identity, Guardian. But with people developing strange superpowers, and the vicious Senator Rupert Longstreet on her trail, Elizabeth must up her game or risk letting evil win. Meredith keeps readers on the edge of their seats as to whether Elizabeth will succeed in defeating the malevolent villains while keeping her integrity intact. Themes of empathy, courage, resilience, and good versus evil are strong but not overwhelming, and the author elevates this rip-roaring adventure with an appealing storyline and well-crafted prose. Meredith’s characterization is solid: she skillfully brings the characters to life, while adding depth and detail to Elizabeth’s story. Throughout, she provides a tightly focused framework for the challenges her heroine faces as she attempts to bring harmony and peace in a world engulfed in chaos. Subplot featuring a romantic angle and secondary characters’ backstories are expertly woven into the narrative while also offering readers a broader understanding of what it means to be a hero. Meredith’s fully fleshed-out characters, convincing situations, and fluid prose will have readers anticipating her next one. Entertaining and lighthearted, the book makes for a winner.
