Watchers #3
Culloden
A great victory has been won, but the war is far from over.
The Boy-King now needs his bride…and his heir.
Only the young officers of the Watch can stop him. But they have their own battles to face and their own demons to fight. And those inner demons are not proving so easy to control as they are lured to the blood-soaked moors of Culloden for the final confrontation.
The dead are rising. A new darkness is fast approaching. Victory is close…but will the hands of Martin and Sean be too bloodied for them to grasp it?
The conclusion of the critically-acclaimed Watchers series!
Praise for the Watchers Trilogy!

The Watchers, as a series, was very well done. The action was intense and the pacing kept up a strong pace. The alternate history was interesting, and being set in England/Scotland was definitely a drawing for me. If you like different takes on vampires -- and believe me, this is different! -- this is definitely something you'll find interesting.
My only real complaint is how the author split the series into three separate novellas when it was obviously just one longer book. The beginning of each book started exactly where the last one ended without any of the usual "next book" reiteration of the former book. It was simply just the next chapter.
