August 16, 2015Thank you Goodreads for sending me this book. This is not a genre I would normally have chosen to read. However, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Its a fast paced read and I quickly became attached to Syene & her mum & sister Ariel. The book defines a clear line between good and evil. Iread the book in a few days as I wanted to find out how the book ended & I will definitely read the sequel “Elkan”.

Warning. Spoilers in this Review.
Started having issues with the story line when it became apparent in about chapter 18 or 19 that the protagonist, Syene, "The Sacred" was experiencing a 2nd immaculate conception. In addition, there is implication that angels can have romantic relationships (Enzril and Jamille) later in the story. There are also statements that Angels and Demons can be "killed". Outside of God's power, biblically there is no indication that these creatures are mortal.
There is a sequel. It is called "Elkan". I think I'll pass.

Awesome read!
Easy to read story that is hard to put down. Nice flow of writing about a college student chosen by God that drastically changes her world and the people around her. Suspenseful and thrilling with loads of supernatural encounters. It can be a heart pounding ride that turns horrifying and then heartbreaking at times. You clearly understand all the emotions the young chosen one experiences. Looking forward to the sequel.

"Sacred" is a combination Christian and Paranormal story. It introduces the reader to Syene Harper, a college student going back home for summer break,
Which brings me to my big complaint about the book -- it doesn't end! There is a "soft" ending, but it's basically a setup for later books in the series. There are a couple of smaller complaints, such as the Biblical verses that head each chapter seeming to frequently bear little relationship to the chapter contents, or that major character development feels somewhat limited. Still, I'd give the book 4 stars.

Great character building.
I enjoyed this classic good vs. evil plot. I'm a sequel fan and Kline has me wondering what happens next.
