About the book:
From the outside, Paul
Bennett appears to be an ordinary high school senior from small-town Kentucky.
But Paul has a secret. He possesses an extraordinary gift which allows him to
leave his body during the night and go anywhere, see anything—unseen, undetected.
Unbeknownst to Paul,
he is not alone in his ability--there are others who can do what he can, and
they belong to Astralis, a government agency funded by the United Nations who
train people like Paul to become spies. When one of their scouts recognizes Paul
for what he is, he is offered a place in the agency.
Paul makes a new life
at Astralis, forging new friendships and inadvertently creating new enemies.
Through the mentoring of the agency's director, Dr. Abrams, Paul finds a place
where he finally feels he belongs.
Unfortunately,
Astralis is an organization under siege from within. Not everyone feels Dr.
Abrams is a fit director, and some are willing to do anything to make a change
of leadership--even murder.
Watchers of the Night
is the first novel of the Watchers Trilogy, and ends with a cliff-hanger. You
WILL be left with questions at the conclusion of this
novel.

The review --
I loved the concept of
mental powers. Wasn't boring, unlike most within same genre and idea. Action
packed from beginning to end. I liked the world the author created, and found
it to be rather interesting. The ending........... I WANT MORE, lol. Now that's
a way to hook-line a person.
