About the author
Yvette Bostic
26 books50 followersI love to read almost any genre. While the most popular authors continue to thoroughly entertain us, I've found some of my favorite series have come from new authors. My all-time favorite has to be Ben Hale's, Chronicles of Lumineia, along with all the side stories that go with it. A very close second is Michael Manning's, Mageborn Series. I've found several gems within some of the Anthologies I've purchased. One of these introduced me to Michael Ploof's, Whill of Agora Series, which kept me reading for weeks.
Of course, I'll always enjoy one of Robert Jordan's new releases or a re-read of Elizabeth Peter's, Amelia Peabody Series. But it thrills my reading soul to find a new and interesting twist, such as Kel Kade's, King's Dark Tidings or Donna Augustine's, Karma Series.

I read The Guardian's Nightmare as part of the 'Souls Day" box set, from what I understand this is the only place it was published.
I had never read anything from this author before, and am glad they included it in this box set. I will defiantly keep my eye open for other works by her.
Even though this was billed as Horror, I believe it falls more into the Swords and Sorcery genre.
The story and writing is quite good, it is a short novella and I would have loved to see it expanded a bit more. It moves along at a quick pace and is engaging. Bostic leaves the door open at the end for additional novels and hope she does write more with these characters.
I did see some similarities to Janet Morris' Tempus and Sacred Band characters, which was quite interesting. I'm not sure if that was a coincidence or if Bostic drew inspiration from Morris.
The only thing that she could have done to get me to move from 4 to 5 stars is expanding the battle sequences. Particularly the final battle. They are ok, but some more in depth description and suspense would have really enhanced the story.
All in all, a great read and I would recommend this to anyone if you can get your hands on it.
I welcome any other suggestions for this Author.
