For some, perhaps, when the read the title they thought “
wha-? Who authorized this guy to write my biography?” I conjured up some
wonderful scenarios, such as a Freudian look at the Devil’s dreams and their
sexual impetrations or an intimate look at the Devil’s apparent “bitch” of a
wife. Wonder if the poor bastard is
married – have to ask the next time I see him. One would think I would know if
that was the case, but trust mw when you are around that bloke you want to get
away as quickly as possible. Leaves scant time for small talk.
This crime, thriller, mystery (not horror) book offers some shocking
detail about a series of murders. The story centers on a lone wolf detective
named Aaron Sanders who must put the pieces together (on his own).
The boy is an enigma. The killings he witnessed, the entity
that seemingly haunts him is very well played out. The suspense is well manufactured,
the thrills (I guess that is the term for a thriller) is hard and gruesome but
not too much on the horror realm vice mystery, say.
Ending was predictable but most are.
For the reader – great pick-up and something if the genre is
up your virtual library aisle, you will enjoy. I dare say this might be a sit
down and finish book, it is that much fun to read.
For the writer – suspense is rich here. Atmosphere is nicely
spooned and the overall mood of the story keeps its momentum. Not sold on character
development but plotting is well storyboarded.
