Press Room

Diane Andersen (The Naked Reviewers).

Rating: 5/5 stars.

What really goes on in the world of the proverbial “guardian angels”? No. Not the civilian police force in New York, but the real guardian angels as supernatural forces or heavenly spirits, commanded by our Supreme Creator to look over each and every one of us?

And what if these guardian angels took on human flesh and walked among us, as some ancient texts teach? These are the questions answered in K.C. Freeman’s well-crafted paranormal romance; Rekindled Prophesy hits all the marks for me as an eclectic reader whose favorite genre will always be “a li’l sumphin’ fer everyone”. On that score, Rekindled Prophesy indeed does deliver.

Through the eyes of Greylyn, and occasional switches to the point of view of her nemesis and irresistible heartthrob, Kael, readers journey through time and place, including some sumptuous settings that are a feast for the imagination. Mostly the story takes place at a romantic resort called, Gaelic Haven, where Geylyn finds herself up against her old nemesis, Kael, a dark guardian – or in other words, a demon – who seems to be up to his old tricks again. And yes, these two have a long and storied history together, spanning some four-hundred-years as eyewitnesses to key events that raise doubt to how truly humans are in control of political and social events, past, present or future, or do other spiritual forces indeed intervene and set our course?

From 17th century England to the tumbrels of the French Revolution and later, the Bolsheviks, these asides were enough to give me pause along with engaging my history nerd hot button and keep me turning pages. But it was also the well-defined and engaging characters, mostly driven by the witty and personable dialogue that also kept me also wanting more. Add in the lure of a Devilish prophesy and some spicy romance and this is why I can heartily recommend Freeman’s novel as a delightful diversion for just about any reader looking for their next weekend read or something to pass the time on a long flight.

As this is only book one of a potential series, there is the promise of more to come and this reader is definitely up for more, perhaps fleshing out one of those historical moments into an entire novel of its own. If that is so, Freeman has gained another faithful fan.
