Summary from Goodreads

John Gideon, a former homicide detective turned P.I., has dug too deep and discovered the truth about the world while searching for the only family he has left.


John and his new partner, Beth May - a spell-wielding demon who has turned her back on Hell - are humanity's last hope to stop a collective of Fallen Angels known as The Watchers and a hierarchy of demons from breaking the first of the Seven Seals of Revelation.

If the Seals are broken, they will set free sickness, war, and death on the world until there is nothing left but an apocalyptic wasteland for The Watchers to control. John and Beth have the tools needed and the strength to stop them. The only question is - are they already too late?


My Review

The Tomb (The Watchers) is such a fun, fast paced read!  I loved it and could not put it down.  I enjoyed how the author took something biblical and turned it into such an amazing story.  I am excited to read the next book in this series.

John is a cop in Chicago along with his friend/father figure Walter.  They are on the hunt for all these people that keep coming up missing.  The thing is the people have like no background information.  When Walter comes up missing it will make John risk everything to find him. 

It's when he meets a mysterious woman, Beth, who is also a witch and a demon, that things really pick up.  He soon learns that there are demons in the city that are trying to break/release the seven seals of the Revelation.  No one wants this to happen as it will cause total and destructive chaos in the world.  Beth will reveal a lot of information about all this and John's family but she doesn't reveal everything to him.  It's a battle of good versus evil in this fight for survival and a fight to save the world.

The author did an amazing job with this first novel.  It was so fun to read and the romantic tension between John and Beth was well written.  I loved the characters and the plot of the story.  I am looking forward to reading the next installment of this series.  If you love a good urban fantasy than I recommend you read this one!
