So I'm a fan of Witches and Paranormal. As soon as I read the summary of this book, I dived at the chance to read it. It truly had a interesting summary and I was intrigued to see what sort of adventure and twists this story would have.
We are briefly introduced into the Vilincia world, given a little back story on the coven that involved 8 families. Set in a more modern day and age, we have our main protagonist Cole Taylor - his destiny is to become the god to protect mankind. Cole is assigned a Watcher who would observe and protect him for 2 years before leaving. This Watcher happens to be the daughter of one of the families part of the coven that were cursed many years ago, and the girl Cole falls in love with.
This is a very fast paced and easy read. I breezed through the book in no time at all and found myself enjoying it an awful lot. There are a lot of characters that made the book fun and enjoyable. There is magic and dark elements that made it gritty and thrilling and despite the grammatical errors, I really liked it. It is very different to anything I've read and Cole makes a very strong protagonist. (I also loved the fact that he wasn't some hormonal teenage boy, he was very sweet when it came to his relationship with Whitney!) His friendship with Benson was admirable. I loved reading their scenes and watching their friendship grow even stronger. They make a great pair!
I would have liked if some scenes were a little longer as I felt more could have been said. We get quite a lot of jumping from scene to scene and it's pretty quick too. Nevertheless, I still enjoyed it. There is so much mystery and action, a bit of everything really. Lots of romance too! It's just a really fun and exciting book! The twists are never-ending and I really look forward to reading the next book. I recommend people give this book a try!

The Watcher is the first book in The Vilincia Coven series. Even though the cover isn't good at all and won't catch your attention, it is a very fast paced story, filled with mystery and suspense. Some of the characters are very relate-able and even though this story has a couple grammar errors, the reader can turn a blind eye and enjoy this paranormal romance story.
I did had a doubt in something. This school parties every night. I didn't know that existed but that's cool. It is an enjoyable story, one that every reader will love.
