Review of Raven's Peak
[Following is a volunteer review of "Raven's Peak" by Lincoln Cole.]
The journey to Raven’s Peak starts with Haatim, a young man supported by his parents and struggling to find his place. It isn’t until he is thrown into a supernatural world of non-stop action that he discovers that walk of life runs deeper within his veins than he knew. Thanks to a local Hunter, Abigail, coming to his rescue and bringing him along for the wild ride. Could this new found life, filled with the constant Ying and Yang of good versus evil, be what Haatim is destined to be apart of?
Abigail is dealing with some struggles of her own, including searching for her missing father while trying to work her way back into her superiors’ graces after an unwilling tragedy tore her life apart. Raised from a child to be a demon hunter Abigail consistently uses her physical and mental training to protect the innocent from the hidden evils of the world, whether that means following guidelines or breaking all the rules. During the consistent wrenches thrown into their plans, she finds herself surprised to see Haatim keeping up with her, becoming a clear sign to Abigail that her unexpected company isn’t as blind to her every day world as she assumed.
Through the turmoil the pair find friendship, loyalty, strength, corruption, and answers to their most dire questions along the way.
The most beautiful aspect about this piece is the details. Raven’s Peak by Lincoln Cole is every horror fan’s dream; with the gore described so thoroughly when you close your eyes, the visual is as strong as a motion picture.
Even though the story was easy to follow, with no plot holes, I would rate the book 3 out of 4 stars due to a few punctuation errors I found with some quotation marks missing when needed. Indicating to me that Raven’s Peak is not professionally edited.
For anyone who has an interest in fantasy, action, horror, and an in-depth mystery, I would recommend this book but advise checking the trigger warnings before indulging on account of the graphic content. Points of the story include slight religious discussions regarding demons and hell, vivid gore, and discussions/acts of kidnapping, torture, and murder.
Lincoln Cole was generous enough to leave the ending wide open for the rest of the series, and I would bet books two and three are just as captivating as the first.

I'm not a fan of horror, but I am a fan of details, so I appreciate this work.
Great Review.
