Daughters of Darkness: Lotus's Journey #2

Watcher (Daughter of Darkness) Lotus's Journey, Part II

Rate this book
As hybrid vampire/faery Lotus's journey has taken her from solving the vampire-committed murders in Denver to Las Vegas, she begins to learn a lot more about herself and the evil vampire of a father who has been searching for her for years. She has to make a decision on whether she's going to run from Vlad or search for him and confront him as he continues to terrorize her dreams. She wonders if finding him will lead her to her faery mother, or if it will just lead to more death, destruction, and heartbreak.


With the relationship between her sexy neighbor, Drew, and her beginning to blossom, Lotus wonders if she should just give up the search and try to lead a normal life for once. She's finally found a decent guy who is not only gorgeous, but seems to want to protect her. Something she's never needed, but is now finding she wants. That is, until she finds out Drew's got his own secrets.

When author C.J. Pinard released her last paranormal series, Rebel Riders, I knew with the first book it was my favourite of her work to date. However, I am now indecisive as Lotus (Daughter of Darkness) is definitely a contender. Lotus provides a great deal of action, nice, hot romantic scenes, and a story that includes both vampires and Lycans at an equal balance.

Watcher begins with Lotus, half-faery and half-vamp, having caught a vampire suspected of following her. She learns that it is her vampire father, Vlad Montour, who has sent him to bring her to him, along with his three other daughters: Jezebel, Blair, and Victoria. Sisters she has only recently learned of having. Lotus realises at this point that a psychic faery she had visited years before actually had some real meaning behind what she said.

Does she use this as an opportunity to meet her father at last? Or, does she have a reason to run in the opposite direction? With very little knowledge of the supernaturals, she has been living for over a century as humanlike as possible. Will she now have to use her faery and vampire skills to deal with her father and sisters?

Fans of Lotus’s Journey Part I will love to hear that Lotus’s hot, sexy neighbour, Drew, plays a larger role in Watcher. And, who can’t love him? We saw his lighter, flirtatious and cheeky moments in part I, and now we learn that he had been watching Lotus all along to protect her. The relationship between them is a little more serious in Watcher due to the circumstances of the story and the deeper attraction they both feel towards each other. Drew is cute and kind, and strong and direct when he has to be, and yet not overwhelmingly flirtatious or pushy. This makes it very easy for Lotus and the reader to fall for him and believe that he is someone to be trusted!

Some of my favourite moments in both parts I and II of Lotus’s Journey have been Lotus’s dreams of her father. They are a little nightmarish at times, being creepy and eerie. The use of fog, Lotus being in a forest and in her nightgown all help create a great sense of atmosphere. Vlad’s character is seemingly dark, powerful and frightful, yet spell-binding. I actually felt some attraction to his evilness, gripped by his hold. Does he want to kill his daughters? Or, is there another purpose for them to all meet with him? The mystery surrounding this vampire villain is killing me and pulling me towards him so badly!

C.J. Pinard’s writing is becoming more and more addictive. I LOVE this series and cannot wait for Part III of Lotus’s Journey. Especially after that fantastic cliff-hanger!

A copy of Watcher, Lotus’s Journey Part II was provided by the author in return for a fair and honest review.

Readable but not exactly spectacular. I liked the pacing but the prose itself is a bit all over the place.

Not sure about it. It's getting really slow and Lotus is becoming clueless. Doesn't feel like a police officer anymore. Since the pink hair she seems to have dropped some IQ points

Couldn't stop reading.

Poor lonely Lotus, I felt so bad for her. Glad she has Drew. Can't wait to read more about the daughters of darkness. Will all sisters ever meet up and take Vlad out? Just wish there was a way I could stay up to date with all the authors about this series. Can't wait for the next book about Lotus to see if she gets to meet her other sisters.

Bada$$ chick! Awesome read!

Lotus is a great character! I love her hardcore characteristics & warrior mentality. I can't decide between Lotus & her long lost sister, Jezebel, as to who is my favorite "Daughter of Darkness." Both of their stories are great & unforgettable. I appreciate the well placed humor , sarcasm & sexy-time! Can't wait for part 3!!!
