Publisher's summary
A demon hunter without a home. A cop without a cause. A seemingly unstoppable evil rising in a small town...
WARNING: Contains violence, coarse language and sexual situations.
Archibald "Arch" Stan was a local cop in Midian, Tennessee that was good at his job, good at being a husband, and exceptionally good at hiding his disappointment at not being able to figure out what was missing in his life that made it all seem so empty.Lafayette Hendricks looked like a drifter, a broken-down hitchhiker blown through Midian on the prevailing winds. When Arch catches him in a fight on the town square, though, things start to get weird, fast, because the guy he's fighting doesn't die when he gets shot. And Hendricks is carrying a sword. Pretty soon, Arch's whole life is turned upside down by Hendricks's revelation that there's a secret world operating under the one he's been living in his whole life - one filled with demons, chaos, and unspeakable evils, one of which is already in town, stirring trouble. And if the two men don't band together to keep watch on the darkness falling on Midian, then this small town might just get swallowed up by the forces of evil - with the rest of the world to follow shortly behind.If you like Jim Butcher, Kevin Hearne, Stephen King, Michael Anderle, Shayne Silvers, Shannon Mayer, or J.R. Rain, you will LOVE the first installment of the Southern Watch series.

An entertaining story with some unexpected humor
I enjoyed the story. The AI would have been better if it understood pausing between scene changes. Without a pause you are suddenly following a different character in a different place. I've had to back up to see when it changed.
As long as they are using an AI, why not have it do different voices for each character to help us tell them apart? That is part of what makes the human read stories better.

The robot voice was a huge distraction.
Okay story but the robot voice was terrible. It was flat and continuous and made it hard to follow the story.

Good book bad narrator
The book is one of my favourite starts to a series with show me world building and less dialogue to hear what things are. However the AI narrator is horrible, wrong inflections and weird word pronunciation. would love to hear an actual narrator read.

Greatest author there is.
Just like all his other titles, Crane tells an amazing story that draws you in and holds you tight through the entire story.
