Today, I am on the tour for The Wakening by JG Faherty. A horror by a new author for me, so I really didn’t know what to expect when I sat down to read this book. All I will say for now is, I am happy I accepted the invitation to join!
Fifty years ago, Father Leo Bonaventura, a young exorcist, cast a demon out from a young boy in Central America. The demon, Asmodeus, vowed revenge. Now the demon has returned, in the same town where Bonaventura is a retired priest nearing the end of his life. At the same time, the possession of a young girl brings together an unlikely group of people, all of whom are linked in their pasts in some way: A group of paranormal investigators, including twin psychics. Robert Lockhart, a defrocked priest with a dark secret that only the twins know. A father whose dead wife was a college girlfriend of Robert’s and once conjured an evil spirit with him through a Ouiji board. Now they must all join forces and help Father Bonaventura rid the town not only of Asmodeus, but also the plague of poltergeists that have followed the demon into our world.
A horror story that starts as it means to go on! With more than a nod to The Exorcist film, this is absolutely action-packed! The author brings demons, exorcisms and possession, among a lot of other things too.
Father Bonaventura, as a young priest, drives out a demon, called Asmodeus from a village in Guatemala, he vowed to get revenge. Now, as an old man, strange events begin happening in his hometown…could Asmodeus be back to exact revenge?
A storyline that is more than intriguing, and JG Fahertys cast of eclectic characters makes for a very vivid and entertaining story. The characters are all so different, and there are quite a few to keep up with as the story unfolds.
The author has definitely brought everything he could to make this shockingly brutal, but saying that it is also a story that keeps throwing things at you so you are sucked in and need to know what will be next. A horror story that brings everything a good horror would and more.
Thanks to ZooLoo’s Book Tours for inviting me to be a part of the tour and the copy of the book.
