Guard Trilogy

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 3rd cleanest city in the world and rated the 2nd 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/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.

A Three-Part Urban Fantasy and Paranormal Mystery Shivers. Nausea. Dread. Those sensations were back. The same ones I'd had seeing the dark figure under the street light, and at the airport. Anguish. Pain, and sorrow...darkness...death. The friends Lynn needs to solve this mystery are the same people she's been trying to convince for years of things seen and unseen. When the mothers of daughters no longer hold the key, the four must come together to solve the mystery and keep the balance. They must accept that sometimes what you believe may not always be the truth, and that family is sometimes more than blood. What if magic was real? What if everything you believed about angels as a child was real-what if evil was real?

I was picking up on something...ominous, weighing on me...threatening, reminiscent of horror movies where, at any minute, the bad guy might pounce on the unsuspecting teenagers. Something played at the edge of my vision.... When Lynn's life of obscure gifts of insight intensifies, venturing out alone feels like the only option for solving the mystery. Lynn's open mind concerning the paranormal is a result of her sometimes-creepy insight, but when faced with things greater than her little premonitions, she struggles with her own denial, lacking the ability to get out of her own way. What if it was your DNA, your ancestry, and not your choices that had an impact on whether you turned out good or evil? What if your choices were your destiny? The Guard Trilogy is now an Extended Series. The next book is The Haven ~ Book 4

From the Author who gave you The Guard Trilogy comes the new extended series, The Guards of Haven. This novel, The Haven, is Book 4 and represents the next in series and it is considered the bridge book from the original trilogy to the new Extended Series, The Guards of Haven. Although the previous three books of The Guard Trilogy can stand alone as a complete story, these next novels adhere to the original storyline and require listeners to catch up with the trilogy before going on to these next in the sequence. If every time a bell rings, an angel gets their winds, then what tears them away? I stood fixated at the sight in front of me, the magnificence of his features I could still see through the bloodstains on his cheeks. A grunt then hiss of pain suddenly escape his swollen lips and his eyes flutter open. He is still alive. New town, new house… new dangers. For Lynn, ditching Miami and moving to a small town hadn't been about leaving her old life behind, it had been about moving forward with her new one. Though she hadn't anticipated that this newfound happiness, she had discovered here would come with new threats. It's been 11 years since the gathering, and since Lynn discovered more about her true ancestry. They'd all learned a lot more about family, friendship, and their gifts, except along with this knowledge came the sacrifices and loses that we tended to learn about the hard way. Thankfully, there have been many joys, successes, and even a financial windfall for them along the journey. But what came next, this new threat, not even Lynn's gift of premonition could have ever seen it coming. What if the wrong people knew you could see or sense things that they couldn't. What if it put you, your family, and so many other innocents in danger? But what if you could help the innocent by using your gift-would you do it, would you risk it?

Happy New Year not! Fate, destiny, purpose what does it all mean? For Lynn, it means being a loving wife, a protective mother, a loyal friend and now the hidden ace in the hole for a host of earthbound Angels. It also means putting her marriage, her friendships, and her own self-preservation, through the supernatural ringer. When self-centered, popular restaurateur Kristopher Snow, hidden member of the Earthbound Seraphim and one of the seven Guards of Haven, goes missing Lynn offers up the use of her celestial radar abilities to aid in locating the lost Angel. Who could have predicted that being related to a preternatural being could be so perilous? DNA doesn't always make you family, but in Lynn's case it sure does link you to a sizeable legion of otherworldly beings beings who right now need her gifts in their time of crisis. Unfortunately, there are others of their kind who seek to use Lynn's abilities to guarantee anarchy ensues. Would you agreed to help these outsiders, these earthbound Angels, knowing that doing so could put not only yourself-but possibly everyone you love, in danger? Are the risks worth the gains, worth the benefit of their protection? What if those who you aid today become the saviors you end up needing in the not so distant future? This novel, like the others in succession, is not a standalone story. Book 5, Haven Lost, is the next in The Guard Trilogy Extended Series - The Guards of Haven. Although the original three books of The Guard Trilogy can stand alone as a complete story, and even though these next novels adhere to the original storyline, listeners should complete the trilogy before going on to listen to the next books in the extended series.

Do dreams really come true? Unfortunately for Lynn, they sometimes do. Plagued for months by recurring dreams of a suspended angel brutally stripped of his wings, Lynn managed the visions as best she could, but when her daughters begin experiencing the same horrific dreams, she can no longer ignore the dark images that haunt her. Had she missed something on that first stealthy visit to the lab in Ottawa? Or had this brutal attack occurred elsewhere, out of reach of those who might save this nameless angel? Were Lynn's earlier dreams a glimpse into the past, the present, or were they foreboding messages of things to come? As for the dreams of others… Kris never dreamed he would see Jana again, nor did he ever consider she could be a part of his life. Then, like a daydream… there she was, standing at the entrance of his new restaurant. Thaddeus's dream of creating a superior race hasn't wavered, though his pursuit of Ms. Westlake has taken a detour. His interests have shifted now to Brazil and a remote branch of science. And while Thaddeus is away, the mice are playing. Lyndon's affections for Lane have grown, so much so, he's requested an alternate tracker investigate the latest lead on this allusive target. Loyalties, too, are shifting while lies, deception, and secrets come to the forefront. And Dr. Stone's dreams, they have taken on a vivid realness that may be affecting her ability to counsel her latest patient. What would you do if you sensed someone was in pain? Would you risk your own life to find them-save them? What if the loyalties you believe were solid shifted because of your actions or inactions? Would you put yourself in danger to pursue the answer? What if your actions changed… everything?
