Someone or something is watching Kathryn Ellison. Kathryn thought she had buried memories of That Night for good—until Nick Lawson returns, reigniting her long-suppressed feelings for him. Seeing Nick has always reminded her too much of the horrible night that changed her life. As much as she wants to be with him, she wants even more to forget. When Nick unexpectedly shows up at her family ranch, Kathryn knows it is finally time to let go of the traumatic past that has held her captive for so long. David Henley is a captive too—of the dark secret involving Kathryn, a secret he’s kept even from his wife. Now the truth is about to be revealed. And when it is, he could be stripped of everything in his life that matters to him. A storm is brewing in the spiritual realm, and its effects reverberate through the natural world, summoning otherworldly Beings to the ranch. While Kathryn confronts the memories of That Night and struggles to let them go, she is not as alone in her home as she thinks. As spiritual and temporal forces collide, Kathryn—and everyone she loves—is about to be caught in the crossfire. |
I have to admit that The Watcher is probably the most unique story labeled as romantic suspense that I've ever read. Now, personally, I would label Sara Davison's dramatic story of pain, loss, forgiveness, and redemption, as more in the speculative genre. The two, romantic suspense and speculative, though, are a pretty interesting mix in this book.
The Watcher is a fitting title as Kathryn Ellison's story is told from the perspective of a spiritual being, representing a specific human emotion, who has stood watch over her life for many years. This 'Watcher' has witnessed everything, from Kathryn's happy childhood, to That Night, and the years of struggle afterwards. But, as with any good romantic suspense novel, things are about to get scary for Kathryn.
I'll be honest, I had mixed feelings about Sara Davison's choice of narrators. Plus the whole spiritual beings element kind of gave the story almost a touch of allegory. But, it also gives readers a truly unique look into the characters thoughts and experiences. In addition it made me ponder my own thoughts and reactions in a new way.
As you can see I am still thinking about The Watcher even now a few days after finishing it. It was different, it was interesting, and you just might enjoy Sara Davison's book yourself if you like stepping outside of the norm once in awhile...
