My first read from author Lincoln Cole was so good I'm going to read another of his books next, and since I own several that's easy enough to do. ( )

This was a very creepy and demonic themed book!

The town of Everett, Washington is overrun with demons as they have invaded the townspeople to the point of Father Niccolo Paladina (an exorcist) coming from the Vatican to investigate what is happening in the town. Father Paladina along with Father Jackson Reynolds who is the priest of the catholic church in the town try to delve into why the demons have taken over the town. There are a mix of characters in the book including a demon hunter named Arthur who knows all about demons and wants to help the priests with exorcising them from the town. Even though Father Paladina is an exorcist, he has never performed an actual exorcism before, so he is a little wobbly in his faith of actually believing demons exist until things spiral out of control in the town and he has to come to terms with his faith to proceed with doing what needs to be done to exorcising the demons.

This was a very spooky read and I probably shouldn't have read it at night before bed as the demonic themes just radiate from the story. At times it seemed that the book could be compared to a true demonic non-fiction book as the author just grabbed every aspect of that "real" feeling that you get when reading the true demonic stories. Giving this book four stars for keeping me spooked.

There is a sequel to this book which I have on my kindle, but I will wait to continue on with the storyline until I get over my "spooky" feelings! :-) ( )

Masterful blend of mystery-thriller and horror.

Plenty of action and suspense; unusual and well-drawn characters who grow and change; and a beautifully structured story. I especially enjoyed the use of two protagonists and how the author skillfully mixed their story-lines, showing certain key scenes from both of their points-of-view to add layers of drama.

I received a free copy of this novel in exchange for an honest review, and I can recommend it without reservation..

This book was compelling and exciting. I had a hard time putting it down once I started reading. I have added this author to me "to-read" list of books, especially the rest of this series. ( )
