review 1: I loved this book. Quite often books with an occult element are boring and too elaborate to understand. This book is all about Jack finding out he's going to hell via several different sources. He doesn't believe it, but strange things keep happening. It's smartly written, wit...

review 1: I'm speechless by the end of this read. At the beginning I feel like there a lot going on and I can't help to say some of the idea Marvin had for his writing was good and too good made me lost and thought where will this go while also at the same time back and forth reading the m...

review 1: I found this book to be much more interesting and exciting than the first book Nightfall, (which I rated 3 stars). But I also found this book had the same major flaw that the first one had. It was a strong and gripping story all the way through, but then the ending felt rushed an...

review 1: Well I can't see any way that this won't end up being the last book in the series. The body count racks up quite quickly, and for the majority of the book, its more of the crime than the horror side, it's only to the end that the occult side really comes out. It's nice to see the...

review 1: Well written, with good character development and very minimal editing issues, this book grabbed me with the first sentence, and never let go. I HATED the ending, not because it was poorly crafted, but because I so badly wanted it to end differently. I'm a sucker for well writte...
