Publisher's summary

At the tender age of seven, Jess Riley's parents were ripped out of her life by the Tear, a ripple of white light in the sky which randomly transports people from Earth to alternate realities and distant planets once a year. On the night the Tear first appeared, the Watchers, a mysterious group of men possessing supernatural powers, made their presence known to the leaders of the world, earning their complete trust to deal with the turmoil the Tear caused.

Now 22 years old, Jess is an agent working for the Watcher Agency searching for a way to bring her parents back home. When the leader of the Watchers, Mason Collier, recruits her to join his team, Jess quickly discovers she is meant to play a major role in sealing the Tear forever. Mason and Jess instantly find themselves drawn to one another but they both resist their mutual attraction for different reasons. Broken by past events in their lives, they each struggle to overcome their fears and find the strength to take a chance on one another.

pretty darn good all the way around!

i only wish i’d discovered the Watcher Trilogy first, as i guess it’s supposed to Be heard first. i’ve decided i’ll just listen to it after i finish this series and treat it as a prequel series;)
onto book 2!!

Good book. I’m starting the second book now. I would send this book to others.

Thank you

Narrators pronunciation…

I haven’t made it half way through the book, but not sure I can finish it due to the narrators “S’s”. Each word that ends in S is a literal dagger into my ears, just terrible.. and I’ve found no way to change the sound quality. Will have to find this book to read in my own.

Fascinating!

The story was riveting and exciting. Loved the angel characters and their portrayal with earthly emotions. Just as humans make choices that can lead them down a broken path the angels also have individual and remarkable stories.

Jessica is special and even the angels know it.

Great characterization sucked me in and I couldn’t stop listening.

Brittany Presley’s voice and narration was awesome. I will be listening to the rest of the series

Just wow

This story is amazing. The romance is a slow burn at first, and the build up is genuinely magical. I can feel Jess's emotions as if they're my own. I can't help but find myself wondering at times if I, too, am falling in love! Perhaps I am, with this story. There's never a dull moment, the plot is positively captivating. I crave to know more with each twist. By the end, I was rushing to download the next book in the series. Be sure to have it ready! You won't want to wait to start the next installment. The lack of clichés is refreshing. This is a true adult romance, with maturity, boundaries, and respect. Expect to get butterflies, yourself. The wonderful storyline is expertly crafted. Unexpected turns, you don't know what's going to happen until the last second. Always enough mystery to keep you interested, on edge, and satisfied all at the same time. A very well done book and I can't wait to finish the series.

10/10

I love this series and author! Definitely recommend. (Note) read the Watchers Series before these ones. I had no idea in what order to read these in. I thought it was a stand alone story. Boy, was I wrong! Lol. Still enjoyed it none the less.

I Absolutely Loved This

This is such poignant and gripping story that I instantly fell in love with it. So well written and defined. The excitement and the danger is great. The love and the challenges are immensely entertaining. I look forward to more from this author.

Good 😇vs Evil 😈

***A tiny Spoiler ***
What a unique good vs evil story! I’ve never listened to anything really like this before. The premise revolves around Lucifer creating this hole in the sky that “trades” people for other beings in the universe. God has a plan to stop this and created 7 people who are bound at birth with the 7 Archangels. (I think there will be 7) Just like in the Bible the number 7 plays heavily in this story. They are needing to find the 7 to defeat Lucifer. There are so many components to this story it’s impossible to relay all in a review. The only thing I can say is that this is a must listen. The story is so interesting it will keep you thinking about it when you’re not listening. I gave 4 stars only because it gets a little slow at some parts but overall a very fascinating book series so far.

So very good!!

This was such a treat to listen to!! I already loved a lot of the characters from previous books so I was so excited when I realized they were in this one too! This story was really interesting and it made it even more enjoyable reading and listening at the same time. Highly recommend this!

Good story, just a bit simplistic in the execution

I enjoyed the concept and the pacing, kept me engaged. Some aspects were a bit simplistic and straightforward but didn't detract from the enjoyment. The narration is good just some of the male portrayals felt off. Looking forward to the next book.
