Michael Jack Webb's Jackal is Book 2 in The Justice Chronicles but reads perfectly well as a standalone. It is so good that I will likely go back to read the first book, Ghost. Kate Justice is such a great leader and comes with plenty of baggage, including unanswered questions about her parents' disappearance. She's tough, moving forward even after a coma. The antagonist is tied to the Watchers through ritual manipulation to brilliant effect. Webb has created an adversary loaded with apocryphal lore, Egyptian iconography, and strategic deception. The story is supernatural Christian fiction, but as a non-Christian reader, it came across as organically integrated and intelligently subtle. Webb uses the Nephilim and fallen angels to frame the conflict as spiritual warfare. Beautifully written and with cinematic settings that sweep across every page, I'm excited to see where book three takes us. Very highly recommended.  Reader's Favorite 5-Star Review

This is a true fast-paced, high-stakes thriller that grips from the outset. Jackal delivers intrigue, tension, and a compelling central investigation led by the likeable and capable Kate Justice. Blending ancient mystery with modern crime, Michael Jack Webb crafts a story rich in conflict and momentum. With strong character dynamics and cinematic stakes, this is an engaging read for fans of intelligent, action-driven suspense," The International Review of Books.

Stylistically, Webb's writing is clean and confident, with a cinematic quality that enhances both the action and atmosphere. His settings—from the stillness of the Colorado mountains to the intensity of Cairo—are vividly realized, grounding the novel's more extraordinary elements in a tangible, believable world. Ultimately, Jackal is a powerful, well-researched supernatural thriller that successfully blends crime, mythology, and character-driven storytelling. It doesn't just raise the stakes from the first book—it broadens the horizon. For readers willing to engage with its depth, it offers a gripping narrative and the sense that something far greater is unfolding just beyond the edge of what can be seen. It is an unreservedly recommended Golden Quill read. Book Viral Review
