Providence is a paranormal romance novel
- currently only available as an ebook -
it is the first book in
The Providence Trilogy.
I was very apprehensive of this book to start with, after the first few pages I put it down and went back to it a few days later...after Jared was introduced I was hooked!
The paranormal side of this book is about angels and demons and therefore heaven and hell too.
When we first meet Nina, her father is dying. After his funeral she meets Jared Ryel by chance...or so she thinks.
Nina see's Jared as a distraction, popping up in places around Providence, Rhode Island where she attends college. She soon learns this is not by chance, Jared knows more about Nina than anyone else. Jared risks everything to be with Nina, sharing the secret he was sworn to protect.
After Nina learns some truths about her family, namely her father, it soon becomes a battle between Hell and Earth.
As far fetched as this may sound to people who do not read paranormal stories, this story is amazing. I've seen it compared to Twilight, but the only real comparison is the love triangle. Every character is individual and convincing. There is humour and sarcastic wit throughout the book, as well as inner turmoil and of course romance.
I read the trilogy in just a few days,(will review the other 2 soon) and was pleasantly surprised. This is actually Jamie Maguire's first novel and it's a brilliant one at that. HIGHLY recommended to lovers of paranormal romance or as a good introduction to paranormals romances!
