Watchers in the Night was not what I was expecting. I have been a Morgan Kinglsy fan for years, and was really looking forward to a new series. I gotta say at first I was disappointed. The main character whose name BTW I can't remember (Ubber Bad sign right there) felt sappy, and the storyline felt contrived. All in all it lacked the punch I was used to from Morgan. But I kept reading because I like Jenna Black's style, and finally realized why I was not diggin Watchers. Not only is the premis different from what I am used to from a Jenna Black story. Everything is different, the setting, the motivation, the characters, especially the characters. Once I quit trying to fit the characters into the wrong mold it jelled for me; and I started to really enjoy the book. I expect good things from this series, the rest is deffinitly going on my wish list.
