Since she was eight years old, Lilly Rayne Nightingale felt like Fate was trying to wipe away her existence through a series of odd, near fatal incidences. Luckily, her best friend Will was always one step ahead of Fate preventing her from being at the wrong place at the wrong time. Will was her knight in shining armor until he broke her heart after their one and only kiss. On Lilly’s first day of college, she meets Brand Cole. Intrigued by Brand, Lilly must decide whether or not she can give up her adolescent fantasy of being reunited with Will and allow Brand the opportunity to conqueror her heart. Not only do Will and Brand both love Lilly, they share a dark secret neither wants Lilly to discover. Lilly thinks Fate is after her once again when a new series of attempts on her life start to take place, but she soon learns someone of flesh and blood is trying to kill her this time.
In the sequel to Cursed, Lilly Rayne Nightengale discovers why Lucifer has been protecting her from malevolent forces bent on destroying her. She also comes face to face with the person who orchestrated the various near death experiences throughout her life and comes closer to learning the truth about why her death is so important to them.
In the finale to The Watchers Trilogy, Lilly and Brand prepare for their wedding and search for more clues to uncover Lucifer’s plans for her. With the help of her fallen angel friends, Lilly must face the ultimate battle between good and evil to decide the fate of both Heaven and Earth.

Once upon a time, a little girl was born on a cold winter morning in the heart of Seoul, Korea. She was brought to America by her parents and raised in the Deep South where the words ma'am and y'all became an integrated part of her lexicon. She wrote her first novel at the age of eight and continued writing on and off during her teenage years. In college she studied biology and chemistry and finally combined the two by earning a master's degree in biochemistry. After that she moved to Yankee land where she lived for four years working in a laboratory at Cornell University. Homesickness and snow aversion forced her back South where she lives in the land which spawned Jim Henson, Elvis Presley, Oprah Winfrey, John Grisham and B.B. King. After finding her Prince Charming, she gave birth to a wondrous baby girl and they all lived happily ever after.
I absolutely LOVED these books! I think I have read them 5 times already, and have purchased all of the other stories connected with them! I can’t wait for Malcolm’s stories! You have me hooked S.J.!!
Welcome to the Watcher family Crystal 🙂
Welcome I hope u will come to enjoy all of SJ West’s books like we do!
I love your writing.. I loved this series and I look forward to more of your books and journey that it will take all of us on in the future.
Thanks for getting your story out of your head.. and into our hearts!
i agree with Crystal.. I am re-reading again… cant stop lol
I lover your stories I never get tired of reading them have all of series can’t wait to read more from you you got me hooked on reading again love it
I just came across the Cursed Series and absolutely loved it! My only wish is that your books were on audio. I just started the Watchers Chronicles so far I love them!
I just found your books Amazon.com and I cannot pull myself away from them. I love fantasy creatures with wings…I love your attention to detail with each character and the flow of the stories. You have a new fan and I always give props to my favorites whenever/wherever possible. 🙂
LOVE LOVE these books!! Can’t wait for the rest!! I think all these should be a movie!! 🙂
I loved the book…
Loved the books so much I read the Watcher Series, Caylins series and Redemption series within two weeks. Can’t wait to read Lucifer’s story.
I can’t wait for the other books to be released on audible. Any idea when they will be?
The Cursed audiobook was a gift to me. Any revenue I make from it will go directly towards making the next book in the series into an audiobook and so on. So, it really depends on whether or not it makes enough money to cover the expense of making an audiobook, which is about $2700.
I do most of my reading on Audibles. Do you have an update on ” Blessed” coming out on Audibles. Patiently waiting 🙂
Had you realized you had two Watchers named Aidan? First one shows up in Blessed in chapter 9 when Brand is telling Lilly about Abby falling in love with his son, Nathaniel. But Aidan let his son drink blood and tried to get Abby to. Brand saved Abby before she had. Since another Aidan shows up later to be Caylin’s soul mate, and having taken a human wife but no children between them, was the first Aidan actually supposed to be the character, Jared? He showed up later in Caylin’s story and upset what he did with his son. Wants to help Tristan. Just reread the Watchers Trilogy and noticed. Have only read your books win the Watchers.
Yes, that has been brought to my attention. I keep meaning to go back and change that character’s name in Blessed. He was a throw away character, and I simply forgot I gave him the name Aiden.
When will Blessed book 2 & Forgiven Book 3 of the watchers trilogy be available on audiobook. I love these books! I recently bought the audiobook and the narrator is absolutely brilliant she brought every character to live. She made me fall in love with the books all over again. I would love for her to bring the other two books to live.
I am currently waiting for the narrator to have time to finish the trilogy. She is going through a personal difficulty which is preventing her from doing it, but she thinks she might be able to start on it in January 2015. And yes, I am using the same narrator.
I love it. I can’t wait for the 3rd one on audio. She does a great job making a distinction between each character. I have one small piece of criticism (very small). A couple characters were just a little slow.
When will Book 2 be made into an audiobook?
Hi Sandra
I’m trying to buy these books from iBookstore but I’m unable to as I live in Ireland and it’s not available in the irish iBookstore 🙁 why is that?
Currently, I am only selling the Trilogy and the Chronicles at Amazon.com. The reason is because when books are enrolled in their KDP select program they can not be sold at other vendors.
When will book 2 be available as an audiobook?
Whenever the narrator can find time to do it. I’m simply waiting on her.
I would just like to say, I’m very much into the demons, angels, vamps thing an I loved ur book cursed…I can’t wait to read the other two….your work has made me very happy
Thanks, Leeah. I’m glad you enjoyed it 🙂
I absolutely LOVE these books!! I cannot get enough of these characters:)
I Loved Them!!! I cannot stop reading them I read all 3 times!! The immense love you describe.
he leído la primera parte y estoy loca por las siguientes ¿ cuando saldrán en español?
I am glad you are enjoying the story, Mercedes 🙂 I had to get a friend of mine to translate what you said lol. There are eBook Spanish translations of the Watchers Trilogy available at Amazon.com.
Hi,
I Just bought the audiobook of Cursed two days ago… I finished it yesterday and I am listening to Blessed now. I just noticed that there is not an audiobook for Book 3. I was wondering whether it will be produced or not. If yes, do you have a release date?
As soon as Cursed and Blessed earn enough money to cover the production of Forgiven, I will have the narrator produce it. That is basically my plan for all additional audiobooks.
Love your books! When will book three of the Watchers Trilogy be available on audible?
Actually, I am trying to schedule the production of that with the narrator atm. I will try to keep you up to date on when to expect it 🙂
Can’t wait for book 3 Forgiven in the watchers trilogy. I do hope you will be releasing all your books in audiobook. When I’m not reading in listening.
Forgiven should be ready sometime in October, I think, Tania. The narrator is working on it now.
I’m reading forgiven now but I listened to the first two. It’s not the same. I might have to wait for it to be out. Any firm date?
Sorry, I don’t’ have a firm date, but I expect it to be by the end of the month. Everything is ready. I’m just waiting for Audible to finish their review and put it up for sale. I will make a post when it’s available.
I’ll be the first to buy it! Can’t wait.
😉
This was one of the best books I have ever read. You made me fall in love,call my mother, kiss my children, dream about my Nana who is in Heaven; laugh and cry and all of these between 8pm -6am kids sleeping hours during a weekend with very little things to do. I am from the south and I had no clue how you could understand the whole black people life and being of color and not knowing who you were you did a excellent job. Look forward to adding you in my favorite author lists. Be bless… Mime/shetone1922@yahoo.com
Thank you so much, Mime 🙂 I’m honored to be on your favorite author list! I’ve lived in the South almost all my life and have known some wonderfully strong black women. I hope I did them proud through Tara and Utha Mae.
I’ve just finished this series and absolutely loved them. Will definitely be reading the rest. That’s the next couple of weeks taken care of them! I adored Malcolm, he was my favourite and I’m looking forward to reading his story. Thank you for writing such a wonderful series.
Thanks, Helen. I’m glad you enjoyed it!
I came across The Watcher Trilogy on audible and I am hooked! Thanks! Just started the Watcher Chronicles 🙂
I also found The Watchers on audible and i couldn’t stop I was hooked S J West will forever be my fav author. Its killing me that audible is taking forever to come out with Caylin’s story. Love you S J West and thank you for being amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Aww, thanks, Nikki! I’ll take the love 🙂 It shouldn’t be too much longer for Caylin’s Story to be available.
I haven’t been able to put my tablet down I found your books and was hooked from the first chapter it will be a sad day when these finish but till then I will continue to read them. Will definitely be reading lots note of your books. Thank you for such wonderful stories.
Thank you, Lisa! I’m happy to hear that you are enjoying my stories 🙂
Hey I just wanted to say I love your books and cant wait to read more!
Thank you, Summer! I really appreciate that!
I have been reading the watchers trilogy of your books and it is the best book series I have ever read I can not wait to get to read the rest of your books. It has helped me through tough stuff at school and everything I am 14 years old about to turn 15 so I will have to wait to read the watchers chronicles,so I am glad you made Caylins story so that I can read about Lilly and brands kid while I wait.I love the plots and the twists and everything at first I did not like Malcolm but the more I read the more I liked him. Now as I imagine him and what he looks like and the way he is I think he is defenitly one of my favorite characters. Although he does like throwing himself at Lilly which is kind of funny.I really hope you get this .
P.S- I totally think Malik and Terra belong with each other.I LOVE YOUR BOOKS!
Thanks so much, Summer! If you don’t mind a few spoilers, your age group can read Mae and Tristan’s story. You can also skip ahead and read The Guardians of the Void and the new War Angel Academy Series that will be published this year without having to read the books before it.
Any chance the series will be movies or tv series?
It would be great to see the series on TV! But, no plans as of yet.
