Dark Hope by Monica McGurk


For years, Hope Carmichael, survivor of a shocking child abduction, has lived a sheltered existence under the protection of her fanatically religious father. Now, liberated by her mother, Hope prepares to start life over as a normal kid in an Atlanta, Georgia, high school.

Normal, that is, until Hope meets Michael, a gorgeous emancipated teen with a mysterious past and a strong interest in Hope. Soon, Hope’s life is filled with questions. What’s behind the angry looks Hope gets from Lucas, leader of a gang of students? Who’s responsible for sending Hope strange valentines inscribed with Bible quotations? How does this relate to the sinister business of human trafficking that operates on the periphery of Hope’s suburban world? And is Michael really a protector, or something more sinister—and just why does he seem so familiar?

In an epic narrative that takes readers from the back streets of Atlanta to the height of Vegas penthouses and beyond, Dark Hope introduces The Archangel Prophecies, a saga of vast mythological scope and great moral urgency.

Christy☆☆☆
This book is a clever way to get teens invested in a major social crime. Using the backdrop of a girl that can change the world because she is so special for both angels and demons, the author tells a story of her search to find one girl in the vast human trafficking network and to save her. I feel though the underlying theme to the series was lost somewhat with so much of the focus more on saving the sex slave. I plan on reading the second book though.

In addition I feel this book is meant for older teens – 17 plus – given the nature of sex trade and violence in the book.

Her first novel in The Archangel Prophecies trilogy, Dark Hope, was published in 2014. Dark Rising is the second novel in this series. The final installment, Dark Before Dawn, is expected in 2016.
