My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Guardians of the Garden by Theresa Pocock is a fantastic reimagining of the story of Eden. It brings in all the elements you are familiar with and puts a unique and interesting twist on them. I liked the fact that at no point did this book feel like it was overly religious, instead it was an author telling a fantastic story that really grabs your attention.
This is the first book that I have read by this author and I was really impressed with her writing style. It was detailed and imaginative and she created such strong characters. It took no time at all for me to be hooked by the story and I found that I couldn’t put this book down until I had finished it – even if that did mean I was up to the early hours of the morning. I really enjoyed this book and I am looking forward to reading more by this author in the future.

Guardians of the Garden
By Theresa Pocock

This is a new author for me, and a genre that I don’t dive into much,however this book is worth the chance. A very well written book with developed characters that keep you reading and guessing what the next page brings. The characters, Seth,Sarah, Miriam,Peter all of them kept the story moving along well. This author took her time developing the plot and her writing style will keep you coming back for the next book. Or any other book she has written. I highly recommend this book.

I enjoyed this paranormal story. It is my first book by this author and I look forward to seeing what is next for her. I found this story to be fast paced that pulled me in from the beginning. It is a story full of magic and action. I had no problems relating to the characters. They made the story easy to read and entertaining. This is a story about Miriam. She is at the point that she wants nothing more to do with her magic. Seth finds himself in a new town, a sister with cancer and parents that have just plain given up. These two are about to collide and what happens next you won’t want to miss. I really enjoyed the author’s attention to details that made the story feel realistic. I am glad I picked up this book and I highly recommend reading this and finding out what happens to Seth and Miriam.

This creative read caught me off guard in the best possible way. I wasn’t prepared for the fantasy filled journey that unfolded in a very tangible way. I loved the connection between the characters and the imagery of the world building. It was a great story that completely captured my imagination and gave me an escape that I thoroughly enjoyed.

Four Stars

I love stories that can take me to a new world and place me there with ease. I love a story that is so creative that you think the author has been to this place and is just telling you that story. To have the ability to create a world that no one has ever seen before is amazing. This story centers around a girl who is tired of being seen as strangle and a boy trying to save his sister. They have so much weight on their shoulders that the ending could be tragic. The author weaves a tell full of intense moments. and danger. To either save them or let them go. I really liked how Miriam responded to being rejected yes it hurt but now some of that weight is gone. Seth’s love for his sister is beautiful. He doesn’t give up and you can feel his pain at the thought of losing her. The fact that he has to watch his parents lose hope and yet he still believes shows how much character he truly has.

Guardians of the Garden by Theresa Pocock
4 Stars!!!!

I have again ventured into a new series and a new author. I have to say that I was not let down. This is the first book by this author I have read and I admit to taking it last minute to help out and found that I am actually hooked and cannot wait for more.

I like how the story and back story are complex and not predictable. I find that the intrigue and underlaying spy and double spy along with the supernatural bits of this book really grab the reader and keep you wanting more. I find that the complexity of the relationship between Seth and his father really adds to the drama. As well as the complexity of the relationship between Seth and Miriam. I really have a love/hate relationship with cliffhangers but the author does really have a good one at the end of this book and I have to say I await with bated breath for the next in the series.

This is my first book by this author. Theresa has a way of breaking through the mental reality of the physical and imagination worlds. Miram is an amazing character. I like how we go through chapter with different POV. This book expresses human emotions, the rites of passage to adulthood, and deals with all the modern day issues we deal with today and I can so related to these issues. Beautifully written story and quite complex. This book is truly captivating and enchanting.

This book pulled me in from the very beginning and I really couldn’t stop reading it. In fact,
I really hated when it ended. I wasn’t expecting this to be as riveting as it was but I truly
found it to be truly captivating. Honestly, it left me considering my own faith in life. I was
conflicted trying to decide who & what was right and wrong. I especially was confused trying to
decide who and what should be forgiven. The characters have such depth to them that I felt as if
I knew them personally. While written for the young adult genre this book is honestly a great read
for adults as well. In fact, I will personally be recommending this book to friends and family to
read along with their kids. I think that this is a great book for a family to sit down and discuss
because of the views that can make us doubt our intentions as well as the intentions of others.
I truly feel that it’s a book that needs to be read and discussed from the forgiveness standpoint
alone and how and when it should be offered to individuals. I certainly hope that there is a sequel
in the works for this book. I can’t wait to sink my teeth into this garden more!

Miriam is so done with protecting immortality. Rejected by her family and the other Guardians, Miriam wants nothing more than to turn her back on Edenia and forsake her strange, invasive magic. In the outside world she could be free from the garden, free to lead her own life, and free to forget that she is a freak.
When Seth Johnson’s sister starts losing her battle with cancer, their family moves to the USA with hopes of saving her. Only that’s not what happens at all. Seth finds himself in the tiny town of Edenia, with parents that seem to have given up. Seth vows to go to whatever lengths he must to save his sister; even if that means stealing secrets, betraying parents, or risking his own heart.
Neither Seth nor Miriam want to be caught up in the tide of fate and feelings destined for them, but with such harshly opposing goals their worlds are bound to collide.
Pocock takes her readers to a land where magic, folklore and reality merge, where love is strong, fear runs deep, and the end of the world is coming.
