The first book in the Watchers Chronicles gets off to a confusing start and stays confusing for far too long. In part, that's because author Miller is trying to introduce five 19-year-olds with few memories (other than nightmares) of a horrific past as well as their younger selves who lived through the agony. Even though the time frame continues to move back and forth, once the characters are established, readers can sink into this classic good-versus-evil battle in which Sam, brother Jonah, Jenna, Carly, and J realize they are Watchers, integral role-players in the war between angels, both fallen and guardian. Miller gets points for vivid writing, and incidents like a hellish plane ride and stormy battles might well put readers on the edge of their seats. Characterizations are generally strong, but it is Jenna's 5-year-old son, Mikey, who tugs at the heartstrings. Those who persevere will be caught up and look forward to the next installment.
