Jeremiah Hunt is once again on the run, but this time he's
on his own. His friends, Denise Clearwater and Dmitri
Alexandrov, remain in New Orleans where Denise is struggling
to recover from their fight with a soul sucking demon.
Jeremiah simply wants to remain hidden in Los Angeles, but
unfortunately magical politics are at work and Jeremiah now
finds himself at the mercy of a ruthless mage, Carlos
Fuentes. Carlos blackmails Jeremiah into helping him hunt
for a dangerous artifact but Carlos isn't the only one who
wants it nor is he the only one Jeremiah is beholden to.
Will Jeremiah find a way out of this mess or has his time
finally run out?
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!
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!
