Top Customer Reviews 5.0 out of 5 starsI really enjoyed this book By Ben I really enjoyed this book even though I had not read the previous book The Paladin Project: A Legend is Born (The Paladin Project Chronicles Book 1) I soon caught up with the characters and who was who, but I do advise readers to read the previous books to gain even more enjoyment from this edition. The characters are very well written and all move through an interesting plot concerning the sinister antics of the mysterious Shadow man. Though I thought a couple of events were over too quickly and with a bit of a rewrite, extra tension and excitement could be added to the story, that is my humble opinion, but it did not distract from the story. I liked that it was set in Scotland, a country I have visited and driven through many times. The author has captured the settings and atmosphere of the locations the book is set in, adding to my reading pleasure. I can highly recommend this book so give it a try as it's a little gem waiting to be discovered. I received this book free and though I was under no obligation to leave a review I enjoyed the book and so I have shared my experience here.

Archer is the sort of boy things happen to. Orphaned as a baby, his gifts make him different to other kids.

Ever since Scharlette’s parents gave her a name no one can really pronounce, she’s been stuck in a bit of a rut. She hates her job in airport security, making people take their belts off before they fly to exotic locations she can only dream about. She owns a small apartment with large repayments, drinks bargain bin red while she watches Star Trek, and misses her little sister, lost to an exploding sandwich press ten years ago. Scharlette fears she might live out her entire existence without doing anything or mattering to anyone. It still comes as quite a surprise when a handsome time traveller named Tomothy appears out of nowhere and verifies she is correct – that, according to his records, she doesn’t matter at all.

We are the Night Vigil. 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 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.

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 ...
