Review of SONS OF DARKNESS: A NIGHT VIGIL NOVEL
by Gail Z. Martin
What an exciting, adventurous, magnetic urban fantasy! So glad SONS OF DARKNESS is the first of a series, and I for one cannot wait! Brent and Travis are demon-kickin', vulnerable, guilt-ridden, grief-laden, past-baggaged, heroes; but they are so good at it! I just want to start reading all over again at Page One because I adore this novel!
Night Vigil is a loosely-knit organization of individuals who have psychic and or/magical gifts, of whatever stripe, who have not had training in those gifts and consequently have failed, made serious mistakes, perhaps cost lives, and so forth. So they band together to do whatever they can, using their gifts, to fight evil and supernatural intrusion. Travis is a former priest, also a former agent of the covert Vatican agency Sinistram, and is now director of a halfway house in Pittsburgh. He also spends his nights (and sometimes days) hunting demons.
Brent was eighteen when his parents and twin brother were brutally destroyed by demons. He went straight into the military, then the Pittsburgh police department, and is now a licensed private investigator—who also hunts demons.
Their first encounter is grisly and testosterone-laden; but after Brent's dead twin Daddy contacts Travis, who is also a medium, the two agree to partner to counteract what appears to be a cycle of inhuman evil centering about an abandoned mining town in North Central Pennsylvania.
