Dev & Meda– Inside the Characters of THE WATCHER, Crossing Realms Book 2

pinterestwebsitegoodreadstwitterfacebook
Meda regarded him silently. β€œWhat is β€˜Dev’ short for?”

β€œDevlyn.” He laughed half-heartedly. β€œIt means brave. Or misfortune. Take your pick.”
And that just about sums up Dev Geary, former Keeper and reluctant Watcher. This hunk and his Harley will take on the human realm in the seven days he’s been given to save his clanβ€”and conquer the very thing that killed him.

I enjoyed the challenge of crafting Dev. He’s a bit of an anti-heroβ€”he’s
belligerent, hell bent on his own agenda, an opportunist, a unique blend of
strengths and vulnerabilities. His catch phrase and philosophy on life is to be
β€˜between the inches’, or to embrace his death wish. It’s a fine line between
thrills and terror, and it’s the only place where he can feel alive, free from
the darkness that lives inside him. Free from the secrets and shame he suffers.

Combine all that angst with some super human powers, and you’ve got yourself a
hard ass hottie, fiercely determined to guard and rescue humans. The irony, and
the beauty of his character is he doesn’t realize he could use a little rescuing
himself.

Enter human Meda Gabriel, a cagey, street smart bar owner with a unique skill
set, who might just be of some help in that areaβ€”and his quest. But she too,
harbors a few secrets.

And the clock is ticking. That kind of pressure is bound to bring out the bestβ€”and the worstβ€”in both of them. Will bravery, or misfortune win the day? Find out in THE WATCHER, Book 2 in the Crossing Realms series.

THE WATCHER by Rebecca E. Neely

Crossing Realms #2

The
Watcher

Hellbent on avenging his own death, former Keeper Dev Geary eagerly accepts when the Watchers task him with returning to the human realm to discover the secret for rendering Similitudeβ€”the very thing that killed him.

But to succeed in the seven days he’s been granted, he’ll need to work with the one human who wants nothing to do with him, and who he can’t help falling forβ€”Meda Gabriel, a cagey, street-smart bar owner with a unique skill set and, maybe, the key to his mission.

With the clock ticking and the Betrayers barely a step behind, can Dev conquer his demons and find the answers the clan so desperately needs, with Meda at his side? Can love find a way, or will he be forced to abandon her and the clan, leaving them all to face imminent destruction?

I think I may have to get this series. I love the way you
described the characters and brought them to life. Thanks.
