Daughter of Glass by Vicki Keire
3.0
This book started out kind of boring to me and I was getting frustrated that nothing was being explained. The whole guardian thing of Sasha's emotions seemed weird without any explanation...I mean, why do they have to take all of her emotions leaving her completely unfeeling? Where did they come from? Somewhere along the line though, I ended up enjoying the story and even the guardians. Especially Desire. It was easy to see why he was her favorite one.
Sasha lost her mother when she was young and has always believed it was a suicide. Since then she has had seven constant companions, the guardians to her emotions. They're around to pretty much take away any feeling Sasha might have because, for some reason she doesn't yet know, it's too dangerous for her to have them. Her father is the mayor and her mansion is basically a gilded cage. Her father is over protective and outside of school, Sasha really has no life and no friends. But everything changes when she's at an opening of a new gallery for her mother's paintings and she encounters Noah. When he touches her, she feels again. She wants more and is willing to do what it takes to get it. Their relationship progress super fast because Noah also feels a connection to her. But when Sasha learns something about Noah, she runs away to protect them both. Unfortunately there's a demon around who will do anything it takes to make Sasha do as he wants and that means going after Noah. The ending seemed a bit too fast but I guess it worked well enough.
We do eventually learn the truth of what Sasha is (which was a little anti climatic to me) and what really happened to her mother. But we never really find out what exactly her guardians are or even where they come from. Which I was really curious about. Her town is basically a supernatural hotbed but we barely scratch the surface of that too.
