Sons of Darkness

A Night Vigil Novel, Book 1

By: Gail Z. Martin

Narrated by: Jeffrey Kafer

We are the Night Vigil.

We keep the Vigil, looking for the ones who can still be saved, the ones who aren't too far gone. We're the misfits and the muck-ups, unwanted by Heaven or Hell, given one last chance to atone for all the mistakes and missed chances, the pain we've caused others and ourselves, the good things we were afraid to do, and the bad things we embraced with open arms.

Unfinished business ties us to the mortal world, to make atonement, find absolution, satisfy retribution, get things right. You won't find a sorrier group of halfway-house heroes. No illusions left - about ourselves, humanity, or what's really out there in the darkness. Just a purpose, to go down fighting the good fight. Because this is our last chance.

One final chance to make it right, the thin red line of humanity against the evil that goes bump in the night, your best hope to make it through the hour of the wolf.

When a series of disappearances, suicides, and vengeful spirits cause havoc and death along a remote interstate highway, demon-hunting ex-priest Travis Dominick teams up with former special-ops soldier and monster-hunter Brent Lawson to end the problem with extreme prejudice.

Good story

Good story, well told and fully developed. The characters where believable and the story was fun if you like supernatural stories

Pinball storyline

I enjoyed this book overall but it really felt like the characters were stuck in a pinball game. They spent the whole story just bouncing wildly from one location to the next and from one catastrophe to the next without ever getting a chance to really flesh out the setting or characters they met along the way. That frenetic movement did suit the 'scramble to solve the mystery' theme of the book, but it left me feeling like I missed half the story. Not bad overall, but I didn't enjoy this book as much as the other books from this author. I did get a kick out of the blend of usefulness and irreverence for religion expressed by the characters.

Great Start!!!

What a great start to a new series!!! You’re able to see so much potential for the character and relationship developments moving forward as the series progresses… and like any great series, this book left me anxiously awaiting for the next one to come out!!!!

Home town

I loved the setting references to towns in Centre County PA. What a treat for me to read a story set in my own back yard. 🥰

Excellent start to a new series!

Great character development lots of action good humor! Really looking forward to the next series

Okay

The reader’s phrasing/emphases are off somehow and it made him hard for me to understand compared to others who have read this author’s books, ymmv. The story was okay. I’d read another but I won’t be in a hurry about it.
