Can you believe that a gate between worlds exists in the wilderness of Colorado? Well you can now. Ami Blackwelder gives young love a thriving environment in her novel, Guardians of the Gate. Aimed for young adult readers, Guardians of the Gate, shows the senior year of Michael, a star high school soccer player, as he falls madly in love with Evelyn, the school’s mysterious new arrival.
With precise detail Ami Blackwelder leads the reader through Michael’s eyes as he discovers that there is more to his mysterious dream girl than meets the eye – Danger. For thousands of years elves lived hidden in the forests of Colorado in peace and tranquility. But when Michael follows his new found love through the gate to her true homeland, he discovers that there is more to his world than he ever dreamed of. But once he leaves the world of the elves. Shadow Wolves, thriving on death and destruction, follow Michael’s scent back through the gate into his home of Lake Forest.
Can Evelyn protect Michael from the shadow wolves? Can Michael protect his friends, family, and the one he loves from the monsters in the night? Guardians of the Gate is a must read for anyone who loves a good story, and the idea that true love conquers all.

Ami Blackwelder has delivered a finely crafted fantasy of forbidden love in a contemporary magic realm. Her narrative sails along with a lyrical flow, constantly building-up conflict toward a dramatic and satisfying conclusion. A well-blended amalgam of beloved literary components draws the reader into the story, immersing the reader in the tensions and desires of characters who deserve our sympathy and care

GUARDIANS OF THE GATE:
Romance is not new to Young Adult novels, and paranormal romance has become very big among YA authors since the success of The Twilight series, but an elfin/human romance is something I have never read before. Overall, the writing was fairly good and I think this book is definitely appropriate for the young-adult market. -Lisa K. Mason
