Fox Arada is on vacation. He's taking a couple of days off
from the daily battle that is his life. As a Watcher his
duty is to keep the peace and when a terrified woman flies
through his hotel door followed by men who are definitely
not friends, he does what he does. He uses deadly force
and
reveals himself to her. He has just committed a FORBIDDEN
RESCUE, but one he had no choice in.
Jubilee Spector just wanted her brother off drugs and away
from the drug dealers, so busting their operation seemed
like a good idea until she is forced to run for her life.
When the most gorgeous man she has ever seen cuts down the
two men with tooth and claw. She is suddenly introduced to
a more dark and dangerous world than she ever imagined.
But she holds a secret that she doesn't even know she
has...
but it will change everything.
FORBIDDEN RESCUE is a short story that is the beginning of
a new and in my opinion fascinating series. Fox is a
kitsune and he works for a Nephilim (Enoch), a Demon
(Kincaid), and a Witch (Sage), all Watchers. The whole set
up is explained in the beginning of the book as author
Heather Long lists the characters and gives a glossary of
terms which I appreciated. I got a kick out of Fox who
tries very hard to be a gentleman and he is funny, though
I
am not sure he is meant to be. I was laughing when he was
trying to figure out what the healer meant when she tells
him that Jubilee might need OTC for the pain she is in.
The
twist that is Jubilee's secret is one Ms. Long throws our
way that is completely unexpected. As I said this is a
short story, only seventy-three pages, with a few things
left in the
air, and a number of secondary characters that I want to
learn more about. I guess it is safe to say I can't
wait for The Watchers book two!
Fox Arada needs a couple days off from the daily battle of
his life. Instead? A terrified woman appeared at his hotel
door followed by the men trying to kill her. Fox—a
kitsune,
and the best Watcher at Enoch, Kincaid, and Sage—reacts
with
deadly force against the men, but in doing so reveals his
secret to the woman. Now, they must both face the
consequences of his forbidden actions. Reluctant to kill
or
turn her in, he kidnaps her until he can determine why she
fascinates him.
Jubilee Spector wanted her brother off drugs. Ratting out
the local drug dealers and busting their operation seemed
like a good idea until one of them attacked her and she
had
to run for her life. When the most gorgeous man she’s ever
met cuts down the dealer with tooth and claw, she’s
introduced to a dark and dangerous world where demons,
nephilim and humans work together to preserve the balance
between heaven and hell.
Neither knows that she holds a secret so dangerous it will
change the world of the Watchers forever…
