#8. The Night Watch by Sergei Lukyanenko

Title:

The Night Watch

Author:

Sergei Lukyanenko

Genre:

Russian Supernatural/Horror/Thriller/Drama

Synopsis:

Supernatural law-keeping and intrigue in Russia. Conspiracy and power plays abound as different magical creatures and beings called The Others face each other and try to keep or destroy the balance of Light and Dark which holds the world in check.

Verdict:

Surprising, engaging and excellent. The foreignness of the Russian setting and mindset give the fantastic events a strange reality and grounding.
