The
Watchers Book 6
by
Lilith Saintcrow
Genre:
Urban Fantasy, Paranormal Romance
He’s
not the only one watching her…
For
years Jorie Camden has been quietly helping her police friends pursue
cold cases, and she’s paid the price over and over again, her
talent for Finding stretched to the limit. Now something different is
stalking the streets, taking children—something old, and foul, and
Dark. The cops won’t admit there’s a problem, so what can a
Lightbringer do but solve the mystery on her own?
Caleb
is a Watcher of Circle Lightfall, and his mission is simple: protect
the witch he’s assigned to—the witch who just happens to be able
to touch him without causing agonizing pain. It’s his one shot at
redemption, and it’ll take every weapon he has, plus his
willingness to play dirty. Even if his witch seems to be chasing
something no one can see.
Yet
something Dark is indeed in their city. And now that it’s aware of
pursuit, it has plans for Jorie and her talent—plans not even Caleb
might be able to stop…
“Darkly
compelling, fascinatingly unique. Lilith Saintcrow offers a
breathtaking, fantastic ride.”—NYT bestselling
author Gena Showalter

mind-blowing series remains a must-read for all urban fantasy
lovers.”

The
Watchers Book 5
“In
the Watchers series, Saintcrow writes stories that are almost always
nonstop action from beginning to end. Her women are kick-ass strong,
her men ruggedly handsome and dedicated to the women they serve. It
isn’t a bad combination at all.” —CJReading
The
Witch:
The
attacks are brutal, leaving the victims unconscious and broken. A
powerful Mindhealer might be able to piece together what's happening
to these crushed bodies and shattered minds, so Caroline Robbins is
pulled away from her relatively quiet life. A Mindhealer is
incredibly vulnerable to the Dark—and Caro refuses even the idea of
having a Watcher. She won’t have another man die in front of her,
and that’s that. Unfortunately, the Watcher she just ran into has
other ideas . . .
The
Watcher:
Caro,
the witch Merrick rescues from the dogs of the Dark, is obnoxiously
stubborn, infuriating, and seemingly determined to throw herself into
every dangerous situation possible. It’s enough to drive a man
insane, and definitely enough to make a Watcher frustrated. How is he
supposed to protect her, especially when she insists she doesn’t
need a Watcher? But Caro is going to need all of Merrick’s skill
and strength sooner than anyone guesses. The attacks haven’t
stopped, and the closer Caro gets to solving the mystery, the more
danger she’s in. Because she’s the next victim—unless Merrick
can save her. And Merrick just might die in the line of fire if Caro
can’t find a way to keep her Watcher safe.

Anya
Harris’s unwanted talents have made her a refugee, flying from city
to city ahead of a tide of burning terror nobody else can see. She’s
hoping Santiago City will be different, but deep in her heart of
hearts, she knows nowhere is safe enough for someone with her
secrets. When the gray-eyed man with guns and a sword shows up,
claiming to be sent to protect her, Anya has to believe him. After
all, she has nowhere else to go.
The
Watcher:
Jack
Gray is one of the oldest Watchers around, scarred by the battle
between Circle Lightfall and the Crusade. He's found his witch, and
nothing is going to get in the way of protecting her. But being a
Watcher is never as simple as it looks. Anya’s talent makes her
worth millions, if she’s delivered alive to the right corporate
bidders. Jack’s the only one who can save her. But when she finds
out who he really is, he might lose her for good . . .

The
Fire Witch
Elise
Nicholson isn’t your ordinary witch. For one thing, she can light
candles with a look, and she plays a mean guitar. Unfortunately,
being able to call fire out of the air isn’t the most useful skill
around. To top it off, she’s a Guardian of the City, and the other
Guardians—her two best friends—have no time for her. They’re
too busy with their Watchers, the grim, black-coated warriors sworn
to protect Elise and her friends from the Dark. Lonely, skating the
edge of controlling her intensified “gifts,” Elise is quickly
running out of options and patience. Then the Trifero—a Talisman
capable of blowing the city sky-high—lands in her lap, and
everything just gets worse.
The
Watcher:
Remy
is the Hunter, snatching Talismans away from the Dark and struggling
with the constant agony of being a Watcher. Then he’s assigned to
stand guard over a smart-mouthed fire witch who not only hates
Watchers, but has just found the Trifero. If the Dark catches Elise,
she’ll be broken, turned into a magical weapon, and sold to the
highest bidder. Not only does Remy have to get to her first and keep
the Dark away, but he also must convince Elise that he means her no
harm—and that’s the easy part of the job. If he pulls this one
off, he just might redeem himself the way every Watcher aches to do.
But if he fails, both he and Elise might be better off dead . . .

Watchers Book 2
The
Witch:
All
Mariamne Niege wants is to finish her thesis and get a job.
Unfortunately, she’s a Guardian now, and her visions of the future
have grown so intense she’s blind to the world while in their grip.
Her Watcher, Hanson, is sleeping on her couch and scaring her
roommates when he’s not shepherding her through the visions and
calming her worsening nightmares. Then the earthquakes start, warning
of an even bigger disaster—a cataclysm that could level her beloved
city and claim countless innocent lives. A disaster her visions say
are triggered by Hanson, even though he’s sworn to protect her . .
.
The
Watcher:
Hanson
joined the Watchers to atone for a life of lies, but the only way he
can stay close enough to Mari to protect her is to use some of his
less-than-honest talents. She is the only witch who can ease the
agony of being a Watcher, and the only woman in the world he wants.
Then Mari’s house is broken into and her roommates slaughtered, and
in order to save his witch, Hanson is going to have to become more
vicious than the Dark—even though it might mean losing her forever.

The
Watchers Book 1
The
Lightbringer:
Theodora
Morgan knows she’s a little strange. Her talent for healing has
marked her as different all through a life spent moving from town to
town when someone notices her strangeness. Now she has a home, and
she doesn’t want to leave—but she’s been found. The Crusade
wants her dead because she’s psychic, the Dark wants to feed on her
talent, and then there’s Dante. Tall and grim and armed with
black-bladed knives, guns, and a sword, he says he’s here to
protect her. But what if he’s what Theo needs protection from
most?
The
Watcher:
Dante
is a Watcher, sworn by Circle Lightfall to protect the Lightbringers.
His next assignment? Watch over Theo. She doesn’t know she’s a
Lightbringer, she doesn’t know she’s surrounded by enemies, and
she doesn’t know she’s been marked for death by a bunch of
fanatics. He can’t protect her if she doesn’t trust him, but how
can she possibly trust a man scarred by murder and warfare—a man
who smells like the same Darkness Theo has been running from all her
life?

I want to start this by noting I originally had requested ARC's for this complete series
but only received this one thus I had no background with regards to the universe
or the rules regarding these characters going in.
Why did I share that?
Despite feeling a bit lost at times and wishing I had a more solid foundation on which to make my assumptions regarding events and characters I still found myself unable to put this down and that says a lot about the writing style.
Jorie's character, despite the horrors that color her every moment, had such an honest and caring feel to her. Yes, she was a bit of a "pleaser" but I truly think it was a response, almost a need to balance out her gift. She was a Seer a Finder more specifically. The need to help was as natural as breathing.
Caleb was her opposite - dark, brooding, self-depreciative, self-destructive. He had a problem acknowledging his worth. Though this seemed to be the underlying theme with all the Watchers. He was also a guardian against the Dark. He provided protection, understanding, kindness a sense of safety for Jorie.
And possibly more...
Despite already being stretched thin between her "job" and her finding skill Jorie is also tasked with bringing light back to an on the edge Caleb.
Can Jorie bring Caleb back?
Can Caleb find the means to forgive himself?
Can he save Jorie from herself and those who want her eliminated?
I firmly stand behind the opinion that to get the full experience the author intended you need to read the complete series. There are just so many details in this world that connect to form the background storyline.
The creatures,
The opposing factions,
The "gifts"
How the light balances the dark
I do intend to delve into this series on my own
