Description
2019 Book Excellence Award Finalist – Horror
Eli Thompson has witnessed many disturbing things in his life, but when he has a vision of despicable acts, he isn’t sure what to do until he is told that he needs to leave his comfortable home in Wyoming and go to Denver, CO. When he arrives there, he still doesn’t know why he’s there until his senses lead him to a restaurant in LODO where a grisly act has occurred.
After Eli is arrested by Detective Jonas Wechsler for being at a crime scene, they discover that other crimes where the perpetrator has vanished have happened and are entwined with the same Fallen Angel, Agrat bat Mahlat, who desires to bring about change to the world by sacrificing men to Samael. Quickly, they learn that there are other players in this vile plan, one a pawn to carry out the Fallen Angel’s orders, and two siblings, who were separated at birth.
Eli and Jonas, against the wishes of their Watchers, decide to confront Agrat, finding themselves in a precarious predicament.

I enjoyed this story. It is apparently part of a series, but it isn’t the first book. Normally, that bothers me, but the author did a good enough job with the back story to let me feel as if I knew what I needed to know to read this book by itself. I love paranormal, and this definitely fits the bill. Angels, demons, and everything in between. The story follows Eli Thompson as he tries to prevent a paranormal catastrophe from happening. He has a guardian angel (of sorts) who helps guide him toward the demon’s work. Eli has to try to figure out what clues are being given to him and then decipher them before all hell breaks loose, literally. Lol!
The author did a great job in following different characters on their journey and then bringing them together at just the right time. I loved how each side had rules that they had to follow, and I also love how the author incorporated the idea of free will. There were a few typos or missing words, but it did not deter me from enjoying the story. If you love stories of angels and demons and of how they try to interfere in the lives of humans, you will enjoy this book. 🙂
