Reading the synopsis, I was intrigued and felt the book was going to be good. Ultimately, I was let down as it was not as good as my mind hyped it up to potentially be. I felt I did not get to know the characters in a way that made them personable or relatable in any way. There were times the element of surprise was lost to predictability. One pro of this book is that it combines rational thinking with open-mindedness. The ending, for me, seemed abrupt, and I was not a fan.

Somewhat Interesting paranormal/thriller

While portions are attention grabbing others are slow and/or repetitive. It’s an okay read. There are two graphic sex scenes that could have been omitted or less descriptive. There are several occasions that would have been much better without the male protagonist getting an erection like a teenage boy.

Erin Carmody is a daughter of privilege, a sophomore at Amherst. How did she end up in the trash dump without her head or her left hand? Fast-rising Detective Adam Garrett and his partner, Carl Landauer, are the primaries and find things going from strange to stranger. A witch shows up at Boston PD and tells the detectives there are three more kills and three more will be killed before Samhein (Halloween). Someone is trying to raise a demon. Garrett and Landauer make a quick arrest, a young man in a Goth band who acts as though he is into satanism. But Tanith Cabarrus knows differently. Garrett is drawn further and further into the occult world where strange things begin to happen to him and he begins to question his own reality. An entertaining read for the Halloween season; check it out if you like witches and things that go bump in the night
