Whew GUARDIAN OF SECRETS was an absolute emotional rollercoaster!! I laughed, I seethed, I talked to myself like a crazy person, and I most definitely cried, too. I was 100% wrapped up in the story and didn't want to put it down! 
 I loved getting back into Gia's world, and really enjoyed the magical aspects just like I did last time. I have to admit that I didn't enjoy this one as much as the first book though. There was a touch of the whole middle-book in a series/trilogy (I think it'll be a trilogy, but I'm not actually positive about that) syndrome going on for me, and I really wasn't happy with the whole love triangle aspect of the story. Other than the romance part, I really liked the mystery surrounding the prophecy and I really enjoyed seeing Gia get more and more comfortable with the Mystik world. I also just loved seeing how her relationships with the other Sentinels have grown! Brenda Drake has crafted some exceptional secondary characters, and I really love whenever Gia interacts with them. :)
