Losing his father changed everything for the teenage boy. Now, he drifts along through his sophomore year in school, listlessly surviving until he discovers the night. One night, one chance meeting with a girl and suddenly the night seems alive and full of promise. But what will it cost him to be one of the NIGHTWALKERS? Is he willing to pay the price?

Keith Kekic crafts a world that is darkly compelling, drawing the reader into a world in which the dark is the only friend of a young teenager. Atmosphere is critical to the success of NIGHTWALKERS and Kekic ensures that the tone is as dark as the night the teenager inhabits.

NIGHTWALKERS is told through the first person narrative. The question of the narrator’s reliability resonates throughout the story… and heck, is part of the enjoyment of the storyline! Is his perception of the young girl accurate? Does he truly see the danger lurking in every corner? Is there a battle between the NIGHTWALKERS and Legion? Keith Kekic does a marvelous job at keeping the reader in suspense. We hope, we want to believe… and yet the question lingers as to whether it is all in the mind of the young narrator.

NIGHTWALKERS is an alluring tale, one that makes the reader feel the night world come alive. Keith Kekic shows us the world that lurks at the edges of our vision, just out of sight and yet we sense it is there. His choice of narrators is perfect for such an illusive world and ramps up the tension in this clever tale. Bravo!
