The next, I've shed a 175 pounds of idiot and find myself encountering ghosts, dragons, and pixies while taking care of a sick patient. Losing my sanity didn't seem like the worst thing to happen since I moved back home with my mom and nana.

Publisher's Summary
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.

Disappointed!
I expected this to be an exciting, fast paced listen but, instead, it was slow and, TBH, not very interesting. Lots of character dialogue and thought reveals with very little actual action. Many times, I thought about just stopping and moving on to something else. The main characters were all pretty clueless and not very perceptive even with the good advice they were getting. It often felt like we were being moved from one dialogue scenario to the next to make the book longer and not to add anything to the information already revealed. Sorry but I cannot recommend this book and will not be moving on in the series. The premise of the story is intriguing, but it needed a much better reveal.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
