Today’s post is on Cloud Watcher by Lilith Saintcrow. It is
200 pages long and is published by Belle Books. The cover is golden with a man
in the center. The intended reader is someone who has read the first three and
likes love stories about witches. There is mild foul language, implied sex, and
some violence in this novel. The story is told from third person close of the
two main characters, Anya and Jack. There Be Spoilers Ahead.
From the blurb on Hoopla-
The Lightbringer:
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 . . .

Review- I really enjoyed this novel the most out of all the others. I
liked Anya and her character was very understandable. She does not believe in
magic and cannot explain the things she can do but she will do whatever it
takes to survive and take care of her responsibilities. When she comes Santigo
City, where the other characters are, things get explained to her and of course
she does not believe them. Jack is a good romantic hero, he listens to Anya not
just because he has to but because he wants to, he will help her and protect her from the bad guys, he does not judge her for surviving however possible. Their
love story feels very natural and moves not too fast, for a romance novel. Anya
did not annoy me with her disbelieve, I think that is was very natural and
normal. We get really up close and personal with the bad guys in this novel and
I liked seeing them so closely. Overall the best in the Watcher series so far.
I give this novel a Four out of Five stars. I get nothing
for my review and I borrowed this book from my library’s Hoopla account.
