Urban Fantasy. Paranormal Mystery. Everyday People.

A flash of something in the pages caught my eye, and I stopped. Thumbing back through the pages again, slower this time, I found it. It was about an inch thickness in…Mom’s handwriting…pages of it.

When a woman linked to the supernatural, discovers her adoptive mother’s journal holds a cryptic mystery, she and her closest friends race to uncover a secret matriarchal society safeguarded by mystical unseen forces.

What if cancer wasn’t just an illness or evil sickness that took our loved ones? What if it’s something bigger—a sacrifice or choice to keep humanity safe—to keep the balance?

Ottawa, the capital of Canada, is considered the third cleanest city in the world and rated the second highest quality of living of any big city in the Americas, but unless you’re Canadian you probably wouldn’t know any of that stuff. And it’s all very nice and well, but boring as hell.... That’s what four unsuspecting girlfriends thought, until their good friend Lynn Westlake came home to visit, and they found themselves in the biggest mystery and adventure of their normal boring lives.

The Guard is the first book in the N. L. Westaway urban fantasy and paranormal mystery trilogy. If you appreciate brilliant urban fantasy or paranormal mysteries involving everyday people, you’ll love this entertaining three-part trilogy.

Note: It is recommended that you listen to the books in order as the mystery is in three parts, and not individual stories per book.

What a cliffhanger at the end!! WoW

Straight up…this series brought me out of a reading slump that had me concerned!

Last year I started this series in ebook format and loved them so much that I bought and read all (six so far) in this extended series back to back! That’s how good these books are.
If you read my reviews of the books you will see that after a quickly fixed editing issue with book one, I couldn’t get enough…they really are that good!
Since then I have been suffering withdrawal symptoms whilst waiting for book #7 to get its *wings and come into the world. *If you know, you know.
In the meantime I noticed that the audiobook version was available, so to satisfy my cravings I got audiobook #1 to listen to in the car…it does not disappoint!…
I have fallen in love all over again, and am now the proud owner of ALL the available audiobooks as well as the ebooks!
I will be listening to my heart’s content until #7 arrives.

So much praise and respect for N.L. Westaway and her talent, these books are so well crafted with intrigue and anticipation, the reader is kept fully absorbed.
The attention to detail is such that you feel transported…exactly the kind of reading experience you want from an urban fantasy/paranormal mystery thriller!

Highly recommended

A compelling read!

*I have since started listening to the audio version of this series (whilst waiting for book #7) and am impressed all over again! Listening gives it another perspective and I noticed things I had forgotten in the book version. I am really enjoying this revisit of The Guard.

A compelling series
