WATCHER OF THE DARK is the third book in Joseph Nassisse's gritty urban fantasy. WATCHER OF THE DARK picks up right where King of the Dead left off. Joseph Nassisse gives readers a very brief overview of the events that have blinded Jeremiah and left him with "ghostsight", but the complexities of the tale make reading the earlier books imperative. Besides, the almost complete absence of Dmitri and Denise in WATCHER OF THE DARK will make it hard for new readers to see the bond that exists between this trio.
WATCHER OF THE DARK is the concluding book in a trilogy that leaves more questions asked than answered. This series is dark, gritty, and sometimes quite disturbing. Joseph Nassisse is a master at showing the reader just a tiny bit of hope before snatching it away in the dark claws of some supernatural baddie. If you like your urban fantasy just a shade left of the horror genre, then WATCHER IN THE DARK is part of a series you must read!
Book Summary
New Orleans was nearly the death of Jeremiah Hunt, between a too-close brush with the FBI and a chilling, soul-searing journey through the realm of the dead that culminated with a do-or-die confrontation with Death himself.
Hunt survived, but found no peace. When he performs an arcane ritual to reclaim the soul of the magically gifted, beautiful women who once saved him, he must flee the law once again, to the temporary sanctuary of Los Angeles, city of angels.
In L.A., Hunt must contend with Carlos Fuentes, who sees in the blind exorcist a means to obtain the mystical key that opens the gates of Hell. Fuentes knows Hunt's weakness is his loyalty - to the woman he loves and to another supernaturally gifted friend - and threatens to torture them in order to get Hunt help complete his dreadful quest.
Hunt has learned a lot since his life was irrevocably hijacked by faith months ago. But when enigmatic Preacher calls in his marker for helping Hunt in New Orleans, Hunt knows that all his newfound experience and ability will go for naught unless he can keep both the Preacher and Fuentes at bay long enough to somehow find a way to free his friends from mortal peril.
In WATCHER OF THE DARK, take a trip to the dark underbelly of the City of Angels to experience an engrossing mix of fantasy, thriller, and horror. This book is sure to leave you sleeping with the lights on!
