Night Watchmen #1


Everlasting
What if your destiny lay on the other side of death?
The annual Culling ceremony is a day every coming-of-age novice looks forward to within the Primeval Coven. It’s the start to being initiated into the Night Watchmen, humankind’s protectors, and it’s the long-awaited day when novices discover if they’re a Hunter or a Witch.
But this day is not a happy one for Faye Middleton. Not when she’s known her whole life that she’s a Defect and is about to face banishment in front of her fellow novices. She’s forced to attend the Culling with little hope for her future, but what she discovers about herself is far worse than she could’ve imagined. And far more dangerous.
Thrown into training and separated from her friends, Faye must learn to adjust. She struggles to find her place within the Coven, and with Jaxen Gramm, the darkly handsome and extremely unnerving man assigned to watch and protect her. Emotions run high, and when she discovers a deadly secret about him, her struggles deepen. As corruption within the Coven begins to unravel, Faye pieces together her role in saving the future of her people, and within Jaxen’s life...but will the truth save her, or be her undoing?




Review

I loved this book and I loved the characters. The protagonist is just awesome. Faye had several problems believing that she was a defect to her coven and a shame to her family, and when she discovers that she wasn't weak, she tried her best in being the strong person she was meant to be. I could certainly respect her decisions and how she often deled with everything that happened to her.

I loved how her relationship with Jaxen wasn't based of just attraction, but also trust and understanding. And how it build up slowing, because after that, their chemistry just exploded and you know it was worth the whole wait and frustration until that point.

I loved the whole setting of hunter and witches and supernatural creatures. I loved to learn all the history of the setting and the whole actions scenes. I like how even though Faye is supposed so powerful, she is still someone that realistic have her weaknesses and that didn't make her just someone that discover she is unbeatable and invincible.

Great book, and I can't wait to begin the next book.

Hidden: A Crossroads Tale by Lori Saltis My rating: 5 of 5 stars This was a great novella and it explain a bit of the background of some characters in the crossroads series. I was curious about why Roy and Cat were not together before the Folly since they know each other for a long time. And How George and Mike as twins never got along to the point of what we discovered in the end of Folly. And I was curious about the whole possible connection between the ying pearl dissapearance and the wisdom pearl too. I'm afraid to say too much and spoil someone that's is reading this before one of the books of Crossroads. We get a few of the answers but of course, there's always a lot to put together and it seems that the Two Dragon Clan has be dealing with deception for quite some time already. For a clan with so many traditions, the people involved often seem to try to take some advantage above each other, the clan seems to be power hungry for a lo
