4.5 Rounded to 5

I am an avid fan of horror and all things supernatural, and boy did this deliver!

I had a very hard time putting this down and quickly got lost in the darkness of both Jack's and Kasper's worlds. On the one hand you have Jack, an adult seemingly trapped in a teen's body. On the other you have Kasper, tortured artist and soul, who is full of rage and confusion. When the two collide...well you'll have to read it to find out..

Very well-written, dark and atmospheric story. I love when a horror can pull me in and actually have me checking over my shoulder. That does not happen often. There are some very creepy elements to this one and I was so there for it. I cannot wait for The Book of Demons to see where Jack's story finishes.

I sincerely appreciate the publisher and Books Forward for providing me with a review copy. All opinions expressed herein are mine and mine alone.

Where to start?

The prologue in The Book of Souls grabbed my attention. For me, I was wondering “what is going on”? As it progressed I wanted more and to know more. Then the prologue ends and we finally make our way to the first chapter. Which takes place in a different setting that is completely normal. Talk about an attention grabber. Loved it.
As I devoured the rest of this book (without giving too much away), this book kept me wanting more.
One scene that stuck out to me the most was Jack calling for help but instead, he was told to let the holy spirit in. I felt that. That pain of relying on someone but never receiving help except in the phrases of “God heals” or “believe in god”. That scene made me emotional because I have been there. I am glad the dad did help jack come morning.

This book was thrilling from start to finish. It is a fast-paced read. Overall I would rate this book 4.5 stars.
