Two souls destined to meet. One love story that can finally be told.A woman fighting to remember….I’ve woken up to find myself in a living nightmare. I don’t know where I am. I don’t know where I come from. Like everyone else around me, I have no memory of my life before I awoke in this barren landscape filled with dangerous creatures who seem determined to kill us all. I’ve been fortunate … creatures who seem determined to kill us all. I’ve been fortunate enough to recruit a group of people to travel with me to a place known only as the Black Castle. Supposedly, it’s a safe haven where we can find shelter from the monsters of this world. I have no idea if we’ll all make it there alive, but I refuse to give up on the one chance I have to discover who I am and why I’m here. The only thing any of us woke up remembering is our own names. My name is Lilith, and I’m seeking my way home.
A man on a mission…
My name is Jered Alburn. Thousands of years ago, God sent a group of angels known as the Watchers to observe humanity and guide their education. I was one of those angels. During our time living and working beside humans, we broke God’s one commandment to us by falling in love and taking wives. For our sin, the women we loved died giving birth to children who were cursed to live dual lives: human by day and werewolf by night.
During the dark days following my wife’s death, I forged my son into a vicious weapon for which he ended up paying the ultimate price: an eternity in Hell. After his death, I finally saw the error of my ways and joined the fight against the princes of Hell to stop them from destroying the universe. After years of struggling against Lucifer and his followers on Earth, Hell has finally been destroyed, but all the souls and nightmare creatures who once resided there have been cast into a realm known as the Void.
My estranged son, Silas, is there, and God has granted me the chance to venture into the Void to not only rescue him but to also restore our shattered relationship. All I have to do now is fight my way through the remaining princes of Hell who now claim the Void as their domain and find my son among the countless people who have been given a second chance to save their immortal souls. I will fight to my last dying breath to find Silas and bring him back home.

First book in the Guardians of the Void series and it was amazing! S. J. West has created a unique new story about the Void, a world in-between Heaven and Hell, with a dynamic group of characters. Lilith, Kane, Kodi and Esser, woke in Void with no memory of how they got there. Four gorgeous Angels Jered, Gideon, Ethan and Desmond are dropped into the void to rescue Jered’s son Silas and Desmond’s son Cal. Now they have joined forces to find the boys and the Black Castle without the four princes of Hell capturing them first. This is an a action packed story, full of twists and turns, suspense, soul mates and creatures from hell. I can’t wait to read the next book in the series!
This book was awesome. I enjoyed getting to know new all the characters as well as revisiting some of the other characters from previous books. I loved the how story started building in this book. It was very visual. I felt like I was watching a movie while reading it. The ending left me hanging and left me wanting more I cannot wait for the second book.
There’s always something about S.J’s writing that touches me and drags me into a world that she creates. The first book of the Guardians of the Void did not disappoint me. Restoration was absolutely fantastic. A definite must read, it’ll keep you enthralled and won’t let you go until you finish the book. I can’t wait for the 2nd book! Read the Watcher series and then then this book, you won’t regret it!
ever wondered what Purgatory might be like? that in between Heaven and He’ll place? that’s where Lilith finds herself after waking up and not knowing where she is. this is a fantastic adventure that leads Lilith to try to find out her destiny while being stopped at every turn. can’t wait for the next!
Omg amazing! So excited for more of the Void! Lilith and her friends are awesome and I can’t wait for the next book! Lilith is absolutely amazing and I can’t wait for more!
I loved the premise of this book. It reminds me a bit of the tv show Lost but a whole lot cooler. I was hooked from the very start and can’t wait to read more.
Wow! This author never disappoints! I have read all of the watcher series and this one is just as good as the others if not better. I seriously had a hard time putting this book down! I loved every minute and can’t wait for more!
I have read all of S.J.West Watcher trilogies and and all the ones that have intertwined, I truly I love how they just take you on one big adventure you never want to put the books down. And as these books keep going now they take you into the void with Lilith and her three close friends she considers her family, they wake up not remembering anything of their previous life then we have the princes of hell that want to take over the Void!
Then we have our hunky guys that come from the land of the living our Watcher guys Jered, Gideon, Ethan and Desmond I cannot wait for the next book to come out because I am anxious to see how the next book goes especially how this last one ended!
LOVED this book.
This book totally lives up to what I expect from an SJ West book.
I Love how the characters from past books show up, and play their part.
The Princes from Hell of course will always cause mayhem…
But I”m thinking Lilith and her friends will be up for the challenge!!
S.J. West has a way of bringing you into a world that you just can’t get enough of. This is just one more book in the intertwining series of watchers. This book can stand alone, but I highly recommend going back and reading the entire set of books that cover Lilly and Malcom and all the descendents between this beautiful friendship. I can’t say which is my favorite series because I view them all as one. I love how the author built another realm for our crew and how they interact with one another. Jared is back and mmmmm, can’t get enough of the watchers and the descendents. Of course, it’s another page turner and you run out of pages before you are ready. Waiting (patiently?) for the next in this series!!!
I really didn’t know what to expect with the “Void”. The worlds that were created throughout the Void were very imaginative, along with the new characters. Jered was never my favorite character, but now he is amazing. I look forward to hearing more about Lilith, and finding out what the Black Castle is in the next book! I have read every one of SJ West’s books, and own some in all formats because they are just that good. I recommend her books to everyone.
This book was an excellent beginning into a new journey. I enjoyed getting to know new characters as well as revisiting characters from previous books. I loved the story building in this book. It was very visual. I felt like I was watching a movie while reading it. The ending left me hanging and I cannot wait to delve back into this journey in the second book!
I was very excited to start reading this new series of SJ West. This new Guardians of the Void series Book#1 kept me interested from the first page. I loved all the new characters we meet, as well as ones we already love or love to hate. I really love the true friendship between Lilth and Kane. I love the concept of soul mates in the Watchers universe but it is truly sweet to have a special friendship develop that is non-romantic. As always, this book was well written and highly descriptive. I really enjoy the character of Lilth and her connection with her friends and Jered. The setting of the Void sounds exactly how you would think a Void should be. At the end of the book, I am left with more questions than answers! I am waiting impatiently for Book 2! I believe even without reading previous Watchers books, you could pick up this book and enjoy it ( although I HIGHLY recommend you read them in the correct order). This book is a definite 5/5 stars!
This is a wonderful new series. I’m glad that an old friend found his soulmate and we met some new friends. I can’t wait for the second book to come out.
Welcome to…The Void!! Just when I thought Ms. West couldn’t write a story even better than her previous, she totally knocks it out of the park with this one! I’ve read every book she has written – twice, thrice…honestly, one doesn’t have to read the previous books BUT you SHOULD!
Our sweet, wonderful Jered is a part of this book along with our fav Watcher and War angels, Desmond, Ethan and Gideon. We are introduced to Lilith and Kane, Ty and Esser – oh…and those evil little hellions Mammon, Levi and Hale…just to name a few.
I love the introduction of new characters and can’t wait to read their backstories. And yes, there is a cliffhanger!
This book is a relaxing yet exciting read. Looking forward to the next one!!!
