Outstanding!!!

The imagery and action of this novel is outstanding. The author is descriptive but doesn't slow the pace down. I thoroughly enjoyed this novel and can't wait for the next in the series. It seems to me that it would be freaking PERFECT as an audio book.
Good job Keith Thompson keep em coming sir.

Keith B. Thompson's The Midnight Watch was a highly enjoyable read that leaves you wanting more, which is a plus since this is the start of a planned series.

The setting and tone are truly the stars, featuring a strong mix of Gothic horror and European locales. It permeates throughout the pages and is one of the story's biggest accomplishments, among a list of many. There's elements of horror, mystery, adventure, and action throughout this vampire-and-monster tale. Often when writers try to blend across genres, the writing can suffer in their weaker areas, but that's not the case for Thompson. I was continuously engaged, often on the edge of my seat, and wondering where Raven's thrilling story would go next.

Don't hesitate to pick up this gem. As the best books often do, it'll transport you right into the thick of an exciting, sometimes gruesome, and memorable page-turner.
