Harper Price was at the wrong place at the wrong time and now she has superpowers. She is a Paladin, a guardian, and her destiny just changed from Homecoming Queen to protecting her long time rival David Stark. Handling school, friends, her boyfriend, David Stark, and cotillion practice all while avoiding death is more on her plate than she can handle. 
 This was a fun and cute read. Reminded me of a Southern Belle Buffy. Dealing with new powers and a destiny while also trying to handle normal life things. It is hard for her to keep this secret and push away her best friend and her long time boyfriend to take time for her destiny and to protect David. Not to mention geeky annoying David is starting to look really good to her. Is it just the Paladin thing or is David really more than he seems? 
 I liked both Ryan and David. Harper has know Ryan all her life and has been dating him for two years. He was a sweet guy and it was hard not to feel bad for him. David is a great guy too though. The ending will make things really interesting in the next book. The three of them are in for quite a journey. Action and snark it was a fun ride although sometimes a little cheesy. 
 "I needed my mentor-person right now. I had figured out as much as I possibly could, so it was time for my Giles or my Professor X or whoever to get here and start explaining." 
 "Don't get me wrong, Mary Beth is...well, she's not objectionable or anything, but she's not..." 
 "She's not what?" 
 "You." 
 "Now can we please stop being crazy and get pack to prancing around a mansion in wedding dresses?" 
 "Okay, so now we know. And we will deal with that later. Provided we don't die." 
 "Now that I know, I really, really don't want to die." 
 "Me neither. So let's make sure that doesn't happen, okay?"
