I really enjoyed this story. If you couldn’t tell, this is another angel book. It is written completely differently than a lot of them I have read lately, though. I actually hope there are more in this series. In true Mary Ting style, all her characters are solid and well fleshed out and her story is wonderfully written. If you are looking for a new paranormal to read, look no further. This is a great book, as well as a great series. ( )

Fantastic supernatural fantasy that will appeal to fans of Richelle Mead, Melissa Marr, and Michelle Madow.

There are a lot of characters in this story, which I thought would become confusing, but the author makes each one believable and a real, true part of the narrative so they fit in without any trouble and feel necessary in relationship to everyone else. All of the usual high school problems are complicated by the whirlwind paranormal aspect of their lives, much like in Michelle Madow's The Elementals series, but this is definitely appealing to adult readers like me as well as teens. What a thrilling ride! ( )

Lucia and her brother Zach are part human and part angel. This alone makes them unique but they have also been trained to hunt demons. So when teens in Hawaii go missing, they are tasked with trying to find out what is going on and who is responsible. In order to achieve this, they must learn all they can about being human so that they can try to blend in. This proves difficult, especially when Lucia starts to have feelings for the enticing Eli.

The Chosen Knights by Mary Ting is an exciting read that had plenty of action, intrigue, and romance. There were a few places where I got lost, mainly toward the beginning, where the story would jump around to quickly. It was a little distracting and I had no problem sitting the book aside. But once I got deeper into the story, I was unable to stop reading and stayed up late finishing it. The chemistry between Lucia and Eli is remarkable! Eli is mysterious and totally swoon-worthy! The other characters were well-developed and have traits that can be related to, even though most of them are supernatural beings. This was the first book that I have read from Mary Ting. Even though it is suggested to read the prequel first I didn't feel as though I was missing anything important to the story line. I do look forward to reading more, even though this one ended in a cliffhanger. ( )
