About the Book:
Harper Price, peerless Southern belle, was born ready for a Homecoming tiara. But after a strange run-in at the dance imbues her with incredible abilities, Harper's destiny takes a turn for the seriously weird. She becomes a Paladin, one of an ancient line of guardians with agility, super strength and lethal fighting instincts.
Just when life can't get any more disastrously crazy, Harper finds out who she's charged to protect: David Stark, school reporter, subject of a mysterious prophecy and possibly Harper's least favorite person. But things get complicated when Harper starts falling for him—and discovers that David's own fate could very well be to destroy Earth.
With snappy banter, cotillion dresses, non-stop action and a touch of magic, this new young adult series from bestseller Rachel Hawkins is going to make y'all beg for more.
My Thoughts:
Fun and super cute new series! Harper is a great main character...smart, adorable, and full of Southern charm and lots of spunk. She's a totally girly girl but also totally badass as well...you gotta love that! This is a totally fun, fluffy read, but sometimes that is just what you need. It has a paranormal element to it without veering too far from being a contemporary, so I feel it will appeal to those who aren't really into paranormal. But there is still enough of a paranormal/fantasy thing going on to appeal to those readers as well. I look forward to the rest of the series (not sure how many books it will be?)! Oh, can't forget to note the super cute cover art...love it!
