Sylva Lark made her choice.
Now she has to adjust to Guardian life. Training. Killing demons. Controlling her powers.
If only giving up her family wouldn’t hurt so damn much, . . . and if there wasn’t a strange attraction to the betrothed Prince Atticus she just met . . .
Amongst murder and mayhem, and toeing an unclear line between right and wrong, Sylva and her fellow Guardians must find a way to secure Eirene.
But it’s not easy going up against underworld Queen Furie when those on Sylva’s side are hiding secrets . . .
Will they succeed in protecting the home of the angels? Or will they fail, submitting the heavens to the fate of Furie?
And will Sylva and Attic ever remember what they mean to each other?
Or will they stay forever Lethed?

Check out my blog post for a great excerpt one this book and the 1st book, also a great giveaway too. Just click the tour banner below.
I can’t say enough how much I have enjoyed this series. I really want the next book soon. I need it! (there better be a next book that is, lol)
(warning below this for spoilers for book one, Veined)
It’s heartbreaking how Attic and Sylva start of as strangers, since they get Lethed (memories of each other erased and people who knew them together get their memories “adjusted” ). Sylva can’t understand why she feels a attraction to engaged Attic, who she thinks she just met. It’s frustrating for us readers as we know what is going on.
I do not want to give anything for this book away, and said a lot on what I like for this series in general in my book one review.
I really got emotionally connected to these characters, and really want more. I hate how there is a bit of a cliffhanger, and really need the next book.
I give this book 5 out of 5 stars. I highly recommend to the paranormal lovers out there who would like something a bit different.
I was given a copy of this book for my honest review.

So, after reading VEINED, I couldn't wait to read LETHED. It was sooooo good, and I was itching to get my hands on book #3, PHOENIXED. But, apparently it won't be released until 2014! 2014!!!! What gives? I'm hoping maybe it will be released earlier. Over a year is a long stinkin' time to wait.

Angel and demon guardians battle for control of heaven. One woman misses her family, and is afraid to get too close to her new family. She also chafes at the rules, especially the one that keeps her away from a guy she likes. There's lots of action and angst, plus some romance.

Slower than the first book but ...
Kept the story moving forward. I however was waiting for Sylvas training to take place which disappointingly never happened. Character and plot development was great though. I enjoyed the introduction and expansion of Alyses character. Her hard added character fit the story so well and added the perfect amount of tension along with Leah

First book was really great with fast pace and a lot of twists, but...
Why two others books - Lethed#2 and Phoenixed#3 aren't available anymore?
I want to read them so much...
Can anybody send me a copy of others books?

Blah-
Although, the first book wasn't that great, but still held me interest. This one........not so much. Would love for these two characters to grow some damn balls

A well above average teen romance novel set in a world of demon fighting warriors powered by angel blood. There are the usual barriers thrown in to thwart the lives of the lovers. In this case someone having taken away their memories of each other, an arranged marriage and of course, a demon trying to kill them.

Look at that cover! Isn’t it scary? So for those of you paying attention; I am trying to make this year the ‘Year of the Finale’. Where I finally finish all the series that I am able to. I’ve been sitting on this series for almost two years now. Not because its bad, on the contrary, because I don’t want it to end.
But, alas, all good things come to an end or some such stuff. This may contain spoilers because its the second book so maybe don’t read further from………

Right here. No wait…

Here, yeah, don’t read further from here.
This is not a happy ending kind of a story people, so just so ya know. The middle is really where this book shines. You know what is going to happen, a fact which I am certain the author did purposely. So it’s nice to see how it all unravels between Attic and Sylvia. The love story in this book is not seperate from the plot, at least IMO. They parallel the plot making it so much richer than I remember it being. It all comes down to duty versus love.
Sylvia grows a lot in this book. She becomes more mature and knowledgable in the ways of being a guardian. How they are expected to behave and learning their traditions. Traditions mean a lot to these people, especially since they are a monarchy.Without traditions, the guardians would apparently fall apart and be no better than the demons according to the queen. I really can’t stand the her, she is selfish and enjoys rubbing their duty in their faces a little too much for my liking.
Attic…He is one hot ticket I tell ya. He is a bit different this time around. He is more rigid and inflexable when it comes time to let go. He just can’t do it, and I love him for it.
They have a choice to make; Choose what is more important….what is best for them? Or what is best for the guardians? The two don’t seem to coincide, much to my dismay. I admit I am super conflicted myself. Why can they not have their cake and eat it too!?!!?!?!?!?!?!?!? It was joyously heartbreaking to read.
This is a re-read and it was better the second time around. It also counts toward my diversity reads since it features LGBTQA people in it. I do love the chemitsy Marcus and Dimitri have. I can’t wait to find out what happens between them because something MUST happen. Demon and Guardian……how will they make it work?
Off to read the last one. Wish me luck!

Lethed is the second installment chronicling Sylva Lark’s fight in the battle against otherworldly demons for the sake of the angles and the home of dead souls, Eirene. It's enjoyable, but not as intense a read as the first book. (See my review of Veined here.)
The tone here is melancholy; Sylva’s world has shattered - the story is only livened by supporting characters and infrequent humor.even though she has untold powers she could really be developing.
As usual for Sunday, family is at the heart of the story. Familial ties can inspire characters as easily as ruin them, and these warring loves cause the best drama of the book in my opinion. Though I must say I adored the gay romance subplot(s!), and all the antics caused by Sylva’s pet cat :)
All in all this book felt like a placeholder before the conclusion of the story in Phoenixed, which …I’ve already started. So here’s to more battles, more conflict, and more kickass Sylva!

“…we found ourselves in the middle of an abandoned amusement park at a rusting, cobweb-covered carousel. In the thin, dusty moonlight, their once joyful leaping poses looked like escape attempts.”Whereas the first book was a rollercoaster of highs and lows, action and angst, this one tended towards politics, pining, and sidestepping the matter at hand (aka impending doom). Little else occupies Sylva’s mind aside from her star-crossed love affair

I received this book from the author and from Paranormal Romance and Authors That Rock.
Lethed is book two in the Guardians of Angels Series.
Sylva Lark made her choice. She decided to join the Guardians and leave her family behind. Now she joins the fight against demons to protect the gates of Eirene. When she comes across Prince Atticus she feels an instant connection but he is engaged to be married. They both have strong feelings for each other but don't know why. Will their memories stay locked away forever or will love find a way before death destroys them both?
This is one of the best books I've read. It had me on the edge of my seat through the whole story. Lethed pulled me in and had me holding my breath till the end. Now I'm left begging for more. I tried to put this book down to draw it out but I couldn't stop reading. The whirlwind of emotions were killing me, I felt my heart break and then pick up and back down again. The characters and the feelings they go through grip you as if they were your own. Every character was real and genuine. I loved how the author added a bit from Attic's perspective at the end. I wanted more. I can honestly say I hate the way things ended and left me biting my nails waiting for the next installment.
I recommend this book for any lovers of YA paranormal romance who are looking for a real emotional story.
Hands down I give this book 5 fangs. And will be eagerly awaiting the next book Phoenixed.

So, she chose. And it was hard. And it's going to get harder, fighting demons and such. Sylva has a lot on her plate, and when she gets to see Attic again, it's a little devastating, because he's a prince and he's engaged. BAM! And they have such a connection to each other, but they don't understand why.
Sylva is growing and learning, and coping, as best as she can. She's of course an excellent main character because she's not only real, but full of life for a fictional character. You get to see so much of how she came to be with the first book, and this book has just added more greatness to her character.
This one is quite emotional. We have memory gaps between Attic and Sylva and it's heartbreaking. They don't know each other, but they really feel strongly toward each other. It's amazing what a little memory erasing can do, and I wanted to slap someone because I KNOW what book one did for them, and now, it's like they are strangers attracted like magnets. It made the story so damn hard to put down. AND now book three is gunna make me wait to see what's going to happen!! LOL I kinda really want it like yesterday! :) Another wonderful, action packed, well written story that has really made this series captivating! 5 PAWS!!

In this book all of Sylva and Attic's memories of the love they shared are leathed (erased), which was an agreement between Queen Meyer, and Attic to save Sylva's life. They have no knowledge of ever meeting.
Sylva is in full swing training mode, learning more of her special abilities to control the elements. Sylva and Attic are reintroduced before his engagement party in DC, and are instantaneously drawn to each other even though they have no prior knowledge of their past together.
There is a lot more ass kicking in this book. A lot more was discovered about Ache, and the 3 evil sisters- Derinyes who rule it. It's an all out gearing up for good vs evil, while Sylva and Attic find, and rediscover each other all over again, although their love is now forbidden since Attic is promised to another Guardian. His oath to Queen Meyer for saving Sylva's life.
I really enjoyed this book, but ultimately felt like certain elements of the book needed further explanation. Instead of trying to figure things out that were a little under-explained, I just rolled with it.
I gave this book 4 stars.

Right before I started reading Lethed I was anxious because I thought it had been such a long time since I read Veined that I'd feel lost in the transition between the two books, but of course I shouldn't have worried because it was really smooth (kudos for that) and even though there is a gap in the story, it really feels like I picked things up where I had left them.
I was so glad to get reacquainted with Sylva and Attic and I really enjoyed the tension between them, that had built up one notch since Veined. I was once again swept off my feet while reading this second installment. I felt happy, uneasy, angry and sad at the same time and although I can't find words to do it justice I'll just simply say it like this: it's books like this one that make reading such an irreplaceable experience.
One thing for sure, I can't wait to read Phoenixed (I already like the cover art very much)

I like the story a lot. The concept is unique, and holds my attention. My heart goes out to Sylva for her struggles with her decision. I also like the interactions with her and Marcus, even her and Alyse. But, the love story between her and Attic, I just don't connect to it. I don't see why they love each other. I don't feel there were enough scenes with them to show this, other than physical attraction. It felt too insta-love for me.

I did not give this 5 stars because I reserve that for classics that I would read over and over. That being said, I could not put this book down. This was definitely a guilty pleasure read for me. I only wish I had waited to read it after the third book was published.

killing me!!
Oh lawd! I love to hate Sylvia right now. My jaw dropped around 78% mark... This one is just as good as the first, once again I recommend this one for reading. Not a boring section in it, and if you think t.you are reading filler info, think again. Foreshadowing comes back and gets you when you don't expect it.

Well the characters and story didn't disappoint... but the endless typos, mistakes, and the cat's gender switching dozens of times-- sometimes mid-sentence were distracting and annoying. Could have been a four star review if only their had been some editing.
