The Book of the Watchers
One second, the sounds around River are white noise, the next it’s like the world is speaking to her directly. It started when she was eight—right after her mom was swept away by a rip current, never to be seen or heard from again. She assumes that the Voices, as she calls them, are a figment of her grief. But they’re real, and despite the fact that she doesn't even have her license or diploma, they’re certain she’s the one who will deliver Earth from darkness.
When River’s connection to the Voices abruptly shuts off at her school’s graduation party, it’s a step towards the normalcy she’s craved. But when a demon chases her off campus, a werewolf tries to eat her at a bonfire, and Source magic manifests at her fingertips, the Voices aren’t there to explain. Instead, a mysterious hunter named Ryder is—
Angel of water & Shadow
he has clues about her identity they unravel together, although she feels like he’s unraveling her in the process. Caught in the middle of a centuries-old battle between two warring supernatural realms, to save humanity, River must find the Voices and unlock a part of her past she’s buried since that fateful day with her mom.
If her own self-loathing, and the ultimate betrayal, don’t stop her from wielding the power of love and acceptance.
Angel of Water & Shadow is a spellbinding enemies-to-lovers origin story with a fresh twist on angels, demons, and Nephilim, where the line between reality and fantasy is blurred. River Harlow, a reluctant chosen one who hears mysterious voices, discovers she's the key to saving humanity from a supernatural war. This debut is full of forbidden love, heart-dropping betrayals, and learning how to turn tragic endings into new beginnings.

Vibe check
Angel of Water & Shadow is not *exactly* fade to black, which is where the lean towards New Adult comes in, but it's definitely not spicy or overly graphic—there's a few scenes that involves passionate kissing and one with bare upper bodies but it's brief. If you'd like to skip these scenes, you can still enjoy the story!
They are: the second half of chapter 18 (when River and Ryder go on on the Ferris Wheel) and chapter 25.
Please note this book contains content that might be upsetting to some readers, including violence, mature language, sexual content, alcohol abuse, sexual harassment, anxiety, auditory hallucinations, depression, and suicidal ideation. It is not intended for anyone under the age of 16.
Perfect for fans of paranormal romance like the Twilight Saga, The Dark Elements series, and the City of Thorns trilogy.

Angel of earth & Bone
Six weeks isn’t long enough to heal a broken heart. Not for River Harlow, who lost her best friend, Javi; her mentor, Olivia; her lover, Ryder—her entire life—in what felt like the blink of an eye. Yet, as the new Angel of Water and with a bounty placed on her head placed by a conniving enemy realm, the only thing left to do is try to move on.
Finding the three other elemental archangels, the Watchers, might be River’s only hope of saving the realm. On a dangerous search abroad to find the Angel of Earth, her strength, hope, and heart are tested in the deceitfully glittering realm of the Huldufólk. The Queen of the Elves says she’ll take her to the Angel of Earth, but elves always demand compensation for their magic, and River must pay her dues—in bones and blood.
A water angel with a bounty on her head...
A demon hunter torn between duty and desire...
To take back her life, River stands against Chet, the horrific guy-turned-wolf who assaulted her at a bonfire. But when she tries to testify against him at the werewolf tribunal, she and her remaining friends realize he has not only slithered into the welcome arms of the enemy, but the enemy is very much among them—and so is her ex-boyfriend, Ryder. Even after a heated exchange in the forest, she can’t tell if he’s hunting her or helping her.
A deadly mission to the land of the elves...
Angel of Earth & Bone is not fade to black, which is where the lean towards New Adult comes in—there's one passionate scene that involves body exploration and more than kissing, but it's brief. If you'd like to skip this scene, you can still enjoy the story! It's: the second half of chapter 31 (when River finds Ryder).
The second book in this urban fantasy series is perfect for fans of enemies-to-lovers, morally gray characters, epic quests, and found family.
The journey continues...
a dangerous mission across realms
In Angel of Earth & Bone, the only way to stop River's mortal enemies from turning Earth into Hell is to find the other elemental archangels and recruit their help. The Queen of the Elves might know where to find them, but the cost of elven magic might demand more than she's prepared to pay. River's magic will be tried, but the biggest test of all? How far she is willing to go for an imperfect but utterly addicting love.
