God Touched
by Conroe, John
Chris Gordon is an average guy until a chance encounter with a supernatural entity drags him into a hidden world of vampires, demons, and government secret societies. This is a punchy, unapologetic urban fantasy that moves at a breakneck speed, prioritizing tactical combat and sheer power scaling over slow-burn mystery. The narrative voice is sharp and dry, balancing the grit of clandestine warfare with a sense of humor that keeps the stakes from feeling too heavy. It captures the feeling of a superhero origin story filtered through a gritty, modern-day lens. You will enjoy this if you prefer your protagonists to be competent and quick to adapt rather than mopey, and if you want a series that jumps straight into the action without wasting time on excessive exposition or hand-holding.
