Fans of the thriller genre know the writing team of Brian Andrews and Jeffery Wilson. They have fused together their combined experience of their military backgrounds to create two of the most anticipated military thriller series in the business. Add to that, each has their own stable of impressive novels they have penned individually that has created buzz in various genres. This writing portfolio is impressive in and of itself, however, Andrews and Wilson did not stop there. They have increased their reach in the thriller genre with the Shepherds series of “Military Action and Supernatural Warfare” thrillers. They crashed onto the scene of supernatural warfare with Dark Intercept, and now they are about to release their second novel of the series, Dark Angel, and I couldn’t be more excited for this!
In Dark Angel, we are back with former Navy SEAL Jedidiah “Jed” Johnson. The events of the first novel have shaped him, and he is ready to join the elite warriors known as the Shepherds. Jed heads to training expecting it will be a walk in the park. In a complete reversal for him, he is put through his paces as a new team leader, and he comes to recall what it takes to create a brotherhood among elite warriors.
Meanwhile, an individual who has intimate knowledge of the inner workings of the Shepherds organization has escaped prison with help of the Shepherds enemy: The Dark Ones. In the mists of training, Jed learns about the treachery Nicolas Woland committed; of the betrayal in and out of the organization that has left a mark. As Jed goes through training, he starts to experience visions of a massive attack that will take place overseas. Jed and his team are deployed to try to thwart an enemy who knows no boundaries, and who will push this yet to be tested team to the brink. Can Jed and the Shepherds stop the plans of The Dark Ones before it comes to fruition?
Dark Angel was such an amazing read. Not only was it an expertly written thriller, but the story line lent itself to a heart-wrenching experience for all the characters; a plot line that compelled me to devour this book in quick time. The action sucked me in, and the emotional heart strings were plucked in just the right way all throughout! Even with the supernatural aspect involved, the story line still felt grounded in real life, and I did not feel lost in another world. It felt like it could be happening in my world completely. The Shepherds series is a must read for anyone looking for a new line in the military thriller genre!
