What if supernatural forces were orchestrating significant events behind the scenes of everyday life? What if one of those forces was once an ordinary young woman from New York? Meet Jenna Berg, the most recent recruit of the group known simply as “The Watchers.” Jenna still has much to learn, but she’s willing to make the sacrifices necessary to accomplish her mission, whatever it takes. Without her efforts, a powerful enemy will encompass the world in sinister darkness and decay. Can Jenna to save life as we know it? Find out in The 36 Watchers: Book II: Spring by Dan Bar Hava.

I loved how the author takes the reader on a sensory journey full of vivid descriptions throughout the eight chapters of this short novel. Jenna’s journey takes her through the Middle East and Africa, including stops in Israel, The Gaza Strip, and Tunisia. Along the way, the reader experiences the sights and sounds of each exotic destination and discovers the extent of the battle between good and evil. I appreciated the depth of struggle that Jenna faced in her decisions to carry out her tasks despite the extravagant costs. I also enjoyed the creative thought that went into developing the supernatural and mystic aspects of the story. The author followed up the narrative with helpful appendices that offer insight into the theories and speculation interwoven within the text.

While I fully appreciated the conclusion of this novel, I felt that the pacing was a bit slow at times. It also lacked the expected depth of emotion linked to the traumatic nature of the situations presented. Still, the slow build of the story’s components subtly reveals the work of the forces of evil as the power of good strives to overcome it. Thus, the various story fragments in the opening chapters made much more sense by the end when everything came together in an epic finale. I also had to remind myself that Jenna’s story is supposed to be a sort of CIA-type file received by Henry, a character featured exclusively in the interlude and postlude sections. I was left with a few questions and look forward to having them answered in the next installment of the series!

The book lacked apostrophes and quotation marks, which made dialogue tricky to follow. Since this error occurred repeatedly throughout the book, I had to remove one star from the rating. The slower pacing and limited emotional connections didn’t detract much, and I enjoyed the story’s complexity. Therefore, I give The 36 Watchers: Book II: Spring four out of five stars.

I recommend this series to those who enjoy conspiracies with ties to religion and physics. The book includes non-borderline swearing and non-erotic references to sexual activity. Since this book is the second in the series, readers may want to explore The 36 Watchers: Book I: Fall before beginning the second part of Jenna’s journey.

What if I enjoyed your review? There's something about asking probing questions at the beginning of a review that I find super engaging! I've got a penchant for more fast-paced books; however, the mix of conspiracies with ties to religion and physics makes this very intriguing. I'm wondering if you got a chance to read the first book in the series and if this is a stand alone book or not...

Thanks so much for sharing your review!

A supernatural interpretation of big events, and many not so big events as well, that brings the reader in a journy throughout the worlds seems intriguing, so I hope the author does proper proofreading to prevent distractions. Thank you for your great review!
