Watcher of the Dark


Watcher of the Dark by Joseph Nassise  301 pages

Every once in a while I try a new author, hoping to find a new series to read.  It is even better if there are some previous books, so if I like the title, I can go back and read the earlier works.  However, this book is not going to do it for me.

In this supernatural series Jeremiah Hunt has lost his normal sight in exchange for ghost sight.  He can see the supernatural world and all its attendant entities.  Now in Los Angeles, Hunt is blackmailed into helping local tough guy Carols Fuentes in a quest to gain power.  While the premise is interesting, Nassise’s world lack detail and the plot is superficial.  While not every book can create a world as detailed and rich as Rowling’s Harry Potter, in the vast supernatural genre, an author needs to come up with much more if he hopes to compete with myriad others.
