The Last Watch by Sergei Lukyenko (spelling more or less optional)

A Russian author writes a four book series on super-natural hijinks in Moscow. It is, to my mind, an instant sucess.

The stories follow Anton. He is at first a low-ranking member of the super-natural poloce, on the side of Light.

All 'Others', as opposed to humans, fall into Light or Dark. The difference is deliberately ambiguous. Bad guys are honest, good guys tend to scheme.

The stories are mysteries, with genuine twists, some forseeable, most not.

I won't spoil this one, it is worth the read.
