Jarvis Graye lives in Kilhaven. He’s heard about the beasts that once roamed just beyond the village walls. But like everyone else, he doesn’t believe they still exist. He’s too busy with school, friends, and his new apprenticeship, which he hates. His only bright spot his best friend, Aron, and the interesting new girl.
Then the strange noises begin. The dead deer appear. The missing boy – something sinister is happening in Kilhaven.
Jarvis suspects his weird neighbor is to blame. He is, after all, part of the strange group known as the Society of the Watchers. But first, he must find proof. With Jarvis’s life and the safety of the village at stake, he and his friends race to uncover the truth and stop the one who is behind it all.

I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy from the Prism Book Tours. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.The Society of the Watchers by Scott Keen is a fantastically written mystery that's geared toward middle graders.
Will Jarvis Graye figure out what is going on in his village?
Jarvis Graye
Jarvis Graye is just an average thirteen-year-old boy that is starting his apprenticeship working at the same place as his father. He doesn't like his position as a courier and finds it lackluster than being an apprentice of some of the people protecting the village. Jarvis is an interesting kid and one that I would not have associated with as a middle grader. However, if I lived in Jarvis's world, I probably would be as curious as he is. He is a great main character of the Kilhaven series, and I can't wait to see more.
The Mystery
The mystery is all about why anyone would want to kill off their food supply, especially in the winter months. Jarvis is curious about it because it happened when he was near the preserve area. Now, Jarvis thinks that he could have died that night. He wants to help out his community even though no one would really believe a thirteen-year-old. Jarvis enlists his friends to help him figure it out so that things can go back to normal.
Four Stars
The Society of the Watchers by Scott Keen is a great book that gives the readers an idea of what could happen in the world's future. Mr. Keen has a way with his words that made me think that I was there with him. I am giving this book four stars and recommending it to anyone that loves to read middle grade or wants to read it with their kids.
