Review: 4 stars
Let me start off by saying, this book was slow to start for me and I wasn’t sure in the beginning I was going to like it. The main character, Marshall, had a few things that irritated me about him in the beginning, and it just didn’t grab my attention like I wanted. *Whew*(Ok, glad I got that out of the way.) But, I persevered and ended up with a book and story plot that kept me guessing and wanting to know what was going to happen next. The characters are developed in a way where they are very believable and could be people that you know and see on a daily basis. This book is an inviting supernatural mystery that makes you want to reassess the occurrences that happen in your day to day life and find out if there is a mystery behind them. I guess I could say it brings out the detective in me who wants to look for hidden clues everywhere.
A county history filled with secrets, ancient rituals, and a power that every man has longed to control since the beginning of time. Marshall Montgomery begins to discover all of these things when he starts looking into the death of a young girl that he barely knew. The information he discovers will change his life and Marshall is left to decide what to do. Will he keep it to himself and walk away, or will he join a war that has been going on for centuries? The enemy will be people he has know for years, and he has to realize that nothing is as it seems.
If you enjoy a good mystery that is not a stretch to be believable, then this is the book for you. Go pick up your copy and enjoy! I know I did, and I can’t wait to see where the author will take us on the next adventure.~Lauren
