The run-down convenience store, the all-night diner, the last-ditch shelter, or seedy motel, the redneck bar and the emergency room, and all the other places open on the graveyard shift-they're Hell's hunting grounds, full of easy marks and desperate souls, prey for evil things out there in the dark.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. We work the night shift because that's when evil walks. We're the clerk in the all-night liquor store, the server in the 24-hour diner, the long-haul trucker who only drives at night, the counter person in the convenience store, the dog shift nurse. We recognize the evil when we see it, and we use the skills we honed with blood and fire to stop it, whatever it takes.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 wolfWhen 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.… (más)
I love this author’s "Witchbane, Badlands, Treasure Trail, and Kings of the Mountain" series. I picked this one up because I recognized the characters of Travis and Brent that have made cameo appearances in those other series that I can't get enough of and have read over and over again. That’s one of the big attractions for me with Gail Martin/Morgan Brice book series...we never lose track of the characters we have learned to love in the other books. I had some of the same issues with this one that I had with some others that I was expecting more of. The plot meandered, and there was a lot of detail about research and rituals that added weight but not especially interest. Danny, Bret’s ghost brother, apparently had several conversations with Travis, but they were only mentioned in a sentence at the end and never detailed. That was frustrating, as I felt that the relationships between Danny, Brent and Travis, would have added to the story. Danny obviously had lots to tell in spite of being dead. I love this author and I already had formed an interest in the two hunters so I will continue to explore this series. Perhaps it will come to mean as much as the others that I mentioned. I’m giving it 4 stars because of the author. Gail Z. Martin/Morgan Brice has given me hours and hours of reading pleasure, and so many wonderful characters that have helped to enrich these series. I listened to the audio book of this one, and even though the narrator had a great voice, he read very fast and didn’t give the characters enough of their individual voices. For me the individual voices of the different characters do so much to make the story more enjoyable. ( )
