Review:
I want to thank Zoe at Zooloos Book Tours for inviting me on this tour and providing me with a copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.
The Wakening is just non-stop rip roaring, demonic action from the get go!
As a young priest, Father Bonaventura drives out a demon by the name of Asmodeus out of a small village in Guatemala. The demon vows revenge. Now an old man, near the end of his life, strange things start happening in his hometown. Is Asmodeus back to finish what he started all those years ago?
The intriguing storyline was backed up by a cast of unusual characters. The ones I found most fascinating were the twin psychics, Claudia and Shari, and all the strange things that seemed to happen around them.
I can’t say too much more about the story, as I don’t want to give away spoilers and keep that mystery for you, but the story is cleverly intertwined with plenty of shocks along the way.
My issue with the story was there were a lot of points of view in the book, which made it a little hard to keep track of who was who, but of course, that’s just my opinion.
The Wakening is not for the faint of heart, but if you love creepy, action packed horror, then this is a must for you.
