Michael Robertson Jr.’s Lance Brody series follows a young man who can’t seem to stop walking into trouble. Lance has psychic abilities that draw him toward people and places in need, and each book finds him in a new small town facing a new threat. The series started with Dark Beginnings in 2016 and has grown to eleven books, with the “Dark” prefix tying the titles together.
The series works because Robertson balances the supernatural elements with genuine mystery plotting. Lance is an engaging protagonist whose abilities create as many problems as they solve, and the rotating settings keep the series fresh. Each book can be read on its own, but the character development across the full series rewards long-term readers.
