Everlasting Fire #1
War Angel Contingent
When Jules Grace comes face to face with the physical embodiment of Hell itself, she sees a reflection of her own tortured soul. As a bounty hunter on the planet Sierra, Jules knows tracking down the most elusive and powerful creature in the universe will set her up for life and possibly quell her own inner demons for a while with the distraction of the hunt. What she doesn’t count on is meeting Ethan Knight, Commander of Empress Anna Devereaux’s War Angel contingent from Earth who have vowed to track Helena down before it’s too late. Ethan is determined not to fail his fellow War Angel, Cade, a second time and is on a personal mission to save his friend’s last gift to the world by any means necessary. Unfortunately for Ethan and the other War Angels, Helena refuses to listen to reason and is determined to keep the one and only physical reminder she has left of Cade. Jules understands Ethan’s deep set desire to honor his friend, but she also comes to realize how much Helena has already lost and is sympathetic of her plight. Caught in the middle of a fight that will undoubtedly have a violent resolution, Jules follows her heart and tries to make each side remember how delicate and precious life is, especially one that the universe has never seen before or ever will again.

About the author
S.J. West
75 books1,190 followersOnce 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 Elvis Presley, Oprah Winfrey, John Grisham and B.B. King. After finding her Prince Charming, she gave birth to a wondrous gift named Caylin and they all lived happily ever after.

This book kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time I was reading it! I am a major S. J. West fan and was very eager to start this one. This is yet another well written and fast moving story by West.
The previous book had left us readers with a a major cliff hanger about Helena and this story continues that. We are introduced to new character Jules who is an interesting and complicated character herself, she’s a bounty hunter with a very complicated and sad past.. She suddenly finds herself involved with the War Angels. This story also focused on War Angel Ethan, who is still dealing with a tragedy and trying to right a major wrong . I loved learning more about both of these characters as well as what Helena was up to. This novel was very interesting because it really makes the reader question their views and makes you feel things for characters you never thought you would. This book also opened up so many possibilities for future books, which I also look forward to reading.
I highly recommend this novel to any fans of SJ West and I recommend starting her books from the beginning for anyone interested. SJ West has created an amazing Watchers world and anyone who likes paranormal and romance stories should check her work out!

I think I must be really bad cos I actually like Helena. Not for the bad stuff. But for the fact she is quite witty and determined not to be good at all.
This book is mainly centred around Ethan the war angel and Jules the bounty hunter with a tragic past, who has been raised since a child by a pair of rebellion gone good angels. All the Cirrus characters are there. Liana who is determined to be Helena's best friend, Lucas and his parents and Helena;s baby who everyone has determined she cannot raise and will rip the baby out if they have to. Helena doesn't get a happy ending...or maybe she does in a sad sort of way. Jules and Ethan do though and even Cade makes a visit.
All in all, I can't wait for the next.

Those babies
This was one of my favorite books of the Watcher World. In the redemption series I wanted to strangle Helena but, and don't get me wrong, she still makes me want to slap her times, here we get to see Helena love beyond herself fully. We see her heartache, her fear, and her strength. Liana l believe may just turn out to be Helenas saving grace, we shall see and Cal, I can't wait to see how he turns out. One thing is for sure Jules and Ethan love him fully and the foundation they raise him on will be solid. Having Jules find her happily ever after with the leader of the war angels and become queen of another planet while raising the son of hell who has wings and who knows what powers....I cannot wait for book 2.

SPOILERS!!
For the most part I really have loved this whole series by S.J since The Watcher's Trilogy.
This book for me personally went by a bit slow, but once I got past 45% of it , it really picked up.
I loved the relationship that started for form between Ethan and Jules.
I feel like while I love these stories the whole soul mate thing is starting to feel just repetative. It feels like simiar situational stories told in each series. If that makes sense.
At the end I turned to love Helena again in that she really loved her baby to give it to Jules and Ethan to raise.
I've read all the books in this series and although I have enjoyed it I hope the Everlasting series of books will be it's last because I feel if Helena gets redemption then that would be a good end to the whole series.

Excellent story....
Jules is a bounty hunter who hopes to capture Helena for the war angels. The price on Helena's head is pretty steep. Jules was married once, but since her husband died, she has kept isolated and worked alone. When she meets Ethyn Knight, she finally sensed someone different she might be interested in. Anna and her husband continue to try and keep peace in the world's while helping the people of watch have better lives.
Helena is pregnant with Cade's child, but he's dead. He love killed him. Imagine that!! Helena is Hell in a corporeal body. What happens next will surprise you. It's a very good story. Everything SO West writes is remarkable.

Unexpected Excellence in Story Telling
It’s not often that a story of this nature provides such an enjoyable reading experience. The author wove the characters in and out seamlessly while keeping me guessing where the story line would lead. I found the choice of characters to be near perfect and aptly appropriate. The fantasy world where this all takes place along with the characters meld the whole scenario into a mind candy existence. Add some well thought out verbal exchanges and the story unfolds with clarity and an unexpected, but appreciative ending that left me wanting more.

An amazing emotional read.
S.J. West did it again! This book is an awesome read and in s.J. West typical style she had your emotions running all over the place. One moment you are laughing the next ugly crying. New Characters are introduced and they fit into the world so well. The writing is awesome and the storyline is fantastic. I loved this book and if you haven't read anything by t

My new favorite
A fantastic book. A stay up late until morning kind of read.
Jules and Ethan were perfect together. I really enjoyed watching their relationship transform.
The storyline was amazing with all the feels and its unexpected twist and turns. Things you will not see coming. You never know what to expect with Helena in the picture
The book was beautifully written and I absolutely loved it

Such an intriguing read!
If you look up "all the feels" in the urban dictionary, you will see a picture of this book. Ok not really, but you totally should. I love Jules and Ethan, they are amazing characters! This book is an intense read, it takes the reader all over the place. It was completely unpredictable and addictive. I need more thumbs to adequately describe it in hand gestures.

Wonderful
S.J. West has put out anther fantastic book. I can't wait for the next one.
This story is about about a bounty hunter named Jules who is being recruited to help the war angels find Helena before her baby is born, since she is the only one who gets close enough to her to put a tracker on her.
This story will have you on the edge of your seat to see what happens along the journey of trying to protect Cade's baby.
This is a story you won't want to miss

Honestly...
I would have preferred this ending in the last part of the previous series if I was going to miss out on the children growing up and into their powers! This series couldve began where the part 2 apparently starts....I love the stotyline, don't get me wrong, I just wanted to enjoy the babies for a while..maybe get an introduction to Zane's baby and see which of the war angels had some before liana, cal, and Liam became adults...

I never want these books to end
Jules is such a spitfire who is stuck inside her own version of hell. When she comes face to face with Hell herself they definitely make for a good combo to play off of each other. And then there's the dreamy Ethan Knight. The perfect book boyfriend! If you haven't started from the Guardian Series, I suggest you go back to the beginning.if you haven't

So good great addition to the Watcher World
Well this story had me crying at several different times but I'm also a total sap! I loved this story it was so good and brought new characters and really showed how big the Watcher world could end up being. This story of Helena and Case is so tragic but with Jules added into the mix brought a new twist. Was so heartwarming and sad and I see there is so much more to come.

This was such an amazing book! This book draws you in from the very first page just like all S.J. West's books do. This book will take you on an emotional roller coaster. I was unable to put it down and finished it in one sitting. S.J. West has done it once again and I can't wait for her next book.
July 12, 2017
This book was Wonderful... It gave me all the 'feels' - I laughed, cried, got angry, and a few times I just said... Awwwwww

I am a HUGE SJ West fan!!! Her books just keep getting better and better!!
Jules is fast becoming one of my favorite characters...
Thank you for our reading enjoyment!!!

I love all of Ms. West's books in the Watcher Universe, and this is NO exception. The characters, as always, are extremely relatable, and you find yourself feeling sympathy for them all -- good OR bad. Great plot, and a twist at the end....and tears. Always tears.
July 11, 2017
Loved it!
I love all of the watchers books, and this one was no exception. It was great, and left me wanting more. I'm also glad Anna was a part of this book as I wanted to know more about what happened to her after the conclusion of the last book.

I loved delving back into Sanda's world of Angels and alternate reality. Anna, Malcolm, Lucas, the twins are all back in this new spin off. Jules tries to fight her past demons, and Helena causing havoc. This Book was amazingly entertaining. Ethan is smoking hot to boot!
July 12, 2017
Omg idk what to say about this book other than I Freaking LOVED IT!!! Omg this book takes you through an emotional ride that you can't help but love! I laughed cried, balled my eyes out, felt my heart shatter, then get put back together. I seriously recommend reading this!

I have read the entire watcher series in 2 weeks and I can honestly say they are some of the best books I have ever read. Each one makes you want to know more and they are hard to put down. I can't wait for the next one

I was eagerly awaiting the release of this book and let me tell you...it did NOT disappoint! West takes you on an emotional roller coaster ride with this one and it is worth it. You will not be able to put it down! If you have read the other Watcher books in her series (if you haven't you need to do this NOW!) you will again be blown away from the depth of the characters and the emotional feels of this book. Can't wait until the next one!
