Watching Time

by Mary Swift

Mika Vernikov always knew there was life after death, he had been seeing dead people for as long as he could remember. After his untimely demise he finds himself forced into the lonely role of a Watcher. Frequently mistaken for a guardian angel he is tasked with watching and directing the souls of the living. Soon after death he meets a fallen Angel who urges him to return to the time when she is alive, not just because she wants him to initiate their romance, one that hasn’t yet begun for him, but because if he doesn’t someone else’s life will come to a sudden end. It’s someone Mika doesn’t know yet, his son, whose very existence is a threat to the darkest and most corrupt souls that linger in the shadows. Life, death, and time itself collides in this follow up to The Man Upstairs.

fantastic time travel plus dead souls

Such a great great read cannot recommend this book enough. I love how the author weaved such a fantasy story involving dead people and their live after death and good guy souls and bad guy souls… kinda like angels.. In other words it’s a story of good versus evil, redemption, reformation and forgiveness. And don’t forget the romance love story too. Really amazing story. Kudos Mary Swift.

I enjoyed this book. Who doesn't want to believe that life continues on after death and we can still visit our loved ones? I'm also a sucker for stories of the past, present and future all in one book. Love the characters and the relationships they have. Have already started the second book and am enjoying that one as well.

Yawn! This started out really promising, but quickly lost steam for me, before taking a turn towards the overly melodramatic.
