Publisher's summary

Galen

Lust.

My ultimate downfall,

And demise.

I'm shackled to a life I can't escape.

A life I never asked for.

Now, I'm trapped - soulless,

Burdened by a Watcher lurking within.

He wants out, he wants her.

But I can't let that happen,

Won't let that happen.

She's mine.

Somehow that doesn't matter.

I can't have what I crave.

What I want.

What I need.

As the Watcher fights me,

Battles for control,

I refuse to succumb.

It's a power I'll never relinquish.

I can't unleash what lies beneath,

Without paying the ultimate price,

And losing her in the end.

Amazing job for Kim Loraine

The narrator's did fantastic. Will's voice is sexy as hell. I swoon immediately over an accent and his made me wet every time. I'm glad that Reece ended up with who she did and the other still has a chance to find his soulmate. can't wait to find out what happens to all of them, including Reece's child.

Really Enjoyed It - Looking Forward to the Next!

This was a random find that ended up being a great little PNR book. The story has an interesting twist on the whole vampires & angels mythology that was really fun to read. The chemistry between Galen and Reese was phenomenal & intense. The duet performances of Will Watt & Susan Fouche were fantastic together. Particularly Will's performance of Galen, and just all of his accents & voices in general were great. He did a great job of giving all the characters distinct voices and cadences. I'm really looking forward to immediately reading the second book in the series.

I cried.

I haven't cried reading (or listening to) a book in years. Kim Loraine wrote a fantastic story, incorporating heavenly beings, humans and vampires and introducing watchers, was very creative. And Will and Susan's portrayal of the characters made it come alive. Well done. I can't wait to listen to the next book.

A Paranormal Romance Must Read!

Listening to the audio with Will M. Watt and Susan Fouche cemented the fact that whether you read or listen this is an extraordinary story!

If your not a PNR fan, don't let the word vampire shy you away. Vampires are just part of the story. Waking the Watcher is a story about love, friendship and what you would do to protect the ones you love. It's hard to tell you what it's about without giving spoilers, which I hate doing! Just know that there are vampires, angels and of course humans and no one is really safe. Not having read any other PNR literature and not that I'm a huge movie buff but Waking the Watcher is very reminiscent of movies like Constantine, End of Days and I even thought about The DaVinci Code. I can absolutely see Waking the Watcher as a featured film. With Brock O'hurn of course playing Sariel!

Galen, is a hundred year old vampire from Ireland and I've heard Will M. Watt speak with his british accent as well as an american accent, well his irish accent is just as swoon worthy! Waking the Watcher has three main male characters, Galen, Sariel, and Devin. Will does amazing with each character transition, allowing the listener to easily distinguish each character. Both Susan Fouche and Will M. Watt do a fabulous job of relaying the intensity of the story to the reader and allowing you to really become immersed in the story! Go start this trilogy now! 5 out of 5 roses!

Excellent take on paranormal romance

This was my very first Kim Loraine book and I absolutely adored it! I listened to the audio version and it was one of the best I've ever listened to. The dual narration was something I had never listened to before and I am now spoiled and want all the books to be dual narration!

This was a new take on paranormal/vampires and I was very intrigued. I'm anxious to finish the series out. If you like paranormal books, definitely check this out! If you are an audio fan, I can't recommend listening to this enough!

Powerful Interpretation

This audio book is every single thing. I loved the novel but the audio book is so much more. Kim Loraine-Author wrote a stunning tale of vampires, angels and a vampire/angel mashup. This story of vampires, angels and a vampire/angel mashup is the story of epic love and the lengths beings of all kinds will go to to have it. Will M. Watt makes naughty words sound like terms of endearment and Gaelic terms of endearment sound like naughty words. Susan Fouche is wonderful as his duet partner.

Easy listen

This was an interesting audio. I did enjoy the strong female lead & the hot vampire sex. However, I thought the writing was a little Elementry. It was an easy book to listen to while engaged in other activities. It didn't take much concentration in order to grasp the storyline. I am interested to see with the next book holds.

Best Paranormal Romance of the Year

I really didn't know what I expected when I started listening to Waking the Watcher. What I got was the best paranormal romance of the year. This audiobook was beautifully crafted, passionate, suspenseful, sweet and hot. Kim Loraine's female characters are innocent, strong, sexy and smart, just like I like them. I love Reese and enjoyed watching as she adjusted to the other world Galen opened to her. And Galen, as I said on Facebook, I kept stretching my neck to give him a better bite, lol. The accents Will M. Watt used in voicing Galen melted me. I think the first chapter is one of the hottest I have read. While much of
Kim Loraine's mythology is classic vampire there is much that is not. Sariel, the Watcher is the modern manifestation of an ancient soul with a broken heart. The portrayal of the angel Gabriel as part avenger of God and part match maker was definitely a new twist. This book was so good I kept trying to postpone the end while I was eager to get there. Both the voice actors, Will M. Watt, my new voice crush, and Susan Fouche are superb. Susan Fouche portrayed the innocence and strength of Reese beautifully. And as I said, Will M. Watts Irish accent is a classic. I have my pre-order in for the next book in the series and I'm counting down the days.
