great story, great narrator,

Great Romance Novel

S. J. West writes a great story - no doubt about it!! Her characters feel real, their personalities, their mannerisms - she does a great job! I also like her plots and story flow. However, and this is solely on me, I almost quit listening to this book. Why? Because it's a romance novel and I can personally do without all of the mush and gush - seriously. But it's just me and my personal likes. I would much rather have the action, the moving forward with the problem solving - and it's there - but this book has a serious focus on the romance part of this story - too much for my taste. In having said that, I am going to move forward to Book 3 in The Watcher Chronicles because they are good books and I have a vested interest in finding out how this story ends! That's what I mean when I say she is a great story teller - the main plot will hook you and reel you in. And if you are a lover of romance novels, then you will enjoy these stories even more!!!

Spoilers ahead

I loved book one and couldn’t wait to dive into this one. The further I got into it the more I wanted it to be over. I had resigned myself to the fact that I would not be getting books 3 or 4. The reasons for this decision was because or Jesse’s instability. She gives me whiplash. From “I’m in love with Mason and he’s the one my man I can ever love” to Mason asking if she’d say yes if he asked her to marry him and her being uncertain that she would. Then there’s he desire to “take him” and how she toys with him knowing dang good and well that she’s not ready for that because of the abuse in her past. I also think that a man like Mason, such a gentleman and a man concerned with pleasing God would want to marry her before bedding her. Jesse just seems really immature when it comes to her relationship with Mason, I suppose that’s because he’s the only guy she’s ever dated.
If it weren’t for Fazen’s disappearance I wouldn’t continue this series but I need to know that she comes back safely and find happiness again after John Austin’s death, which was a huge shocked to say the least.
Once again I’ll say Brittany Pressley did a fantastic job on delivering this story. I’m just amazed at her ability to make each character sound different and be individual.
Alas on to book three…

Book 2 had me gutted 😲😧🤭😳

Wow this author is not afraid to throw curveballs. Totally didn’t expect the turn of events. There are now 3 archangel bound souls including Jess and they were able to see the 4th but don’t know where she is yet. I can’t say enough how interesting this story is. If you are looking for steam then you will be very disappointed. So far in books one and two it’s only kissing. That’s it. Again I gave 4 stars because of the lack of steam and just like book one there are some slow parts. I understand that Jess had a traumatic past but some of her hang ups and immaturity at now 22 years old was getting a little old for me. It’s lucky that the storyline is so interesting.

Wow!!! Where did this come from?

I don't remember buying or downloading this book but it is amazing. I listen to book 1 and fell in love with the characters and story right away. Of course it ends on a cliff-hanger but luckily and without any explanation books 2,3 & 4 are also in my library. I listened to them for 4 days straight while driving, sitting in my desk and lying around the house instead of watching TV. I'm hooked and my next steps are to find more books from this author. I've already heard there are more books in this series and I'll buy them tonight. Thank you SJ West.

So Amazing

Such an inspiration reading this series, thank you so much. I had to go book to book because I was hanging on every word and chapter. Can't wait to read the next book. Thanks again!!!

Great continuation

If you liked the first book, you'll like this one as well. They go seamlessly together.

Another Winner

This is about humans & paranormals mixed in a sci-fi universe...So Jess, our heroine, continues the adventure hunting for cues to find the select humans that are inhabited by the archangels of heaven so together they can help combat evil and close the ‘Tear.’ There are some twists and bumps along the way. Family are involved. Jess has to make important decisions. Can Lucifer help her and at what cost or should she pray to God and ask for help? She also is in love but is still trying to overcome her childhood experience of abuse by her uncle. Will Mason understand or just brush her off and mark her as a big tease. Can’t wait for book 3 in this series. (This is not a stand alone book, so start with book one).
