Ember’s parents die in a tragic car accident. She lives with her aunt and her aunt’s partner, who starts to abuse her. Her brother finds that an old will of their mother says that Ember should go and live with her Aunt Ila.
It had always puzzled Ember that she had not died in the accident with her parents, that wounds healed quickly and that she always felt as if she was running a temperature. Aunt Ila reveals that both she and Ember are Watchers, the children of a love match between a human and an angel.
Near to Aunt Ila’s cabin is a compound where Growlers and Demons live. Growlers are creatures such as were-wolves who spend some of their time in human form and some of their time in animal form. Demons feed on the human souls.
A complex situation arises. Ember falls in love with Demon Sawyer. He becomes her Guardian. They become bonded in a way that makes them even closer than if they were married.
She also befriends Growler Ivan whose creature is wolf.
Ila is an effective mentor and Ember can soon use her powers well. But she makes mistakes. The story ends on an optimistic note and leaves room for more story; there are several books in the series.
Sadly, Aunt Ila has to die as she has exhausted her powers in saving Ember and Sawyer. Watchers do die though they live much longer than humans.
This is a standard book that resembles an adult novel. The paperback has 432 pages.
