This is literally my first time reading a novel of this type . I love the way the writer made use of the spiritual and physical concept of life. It reminds me of a movie I watched which have the same theme as the novel.
It made my imagination run wild . It is a good novel that I could recommend to my friends

'Holy Terror' by John R. Dougherty serves as a good background to the crime story of the book for readers. It delivers all the important points related to the story. The point that the book delves into the supernatural world of angels is worth mentioning in the review. It is noteworthy for readers that this thought-provoking masterpiece is the work of a very interesting imagination combined with research. Also, as mentioned in the review, the point that we are introduced to a variety of murders occurring over the state is remarkable. It was great to learn that the book is recommendable to lovers of fictional stories with a touch of reality!

I like idea of the supernatural element behind the criminal justice. Bad people getting what they deserve by paranormal forces is somewhat an intriguing read. I don't know what to expect at the end of this novel. The theme of angelic vigilantism is surely unique and thought provoking. Thank you for a detailed review.

One this I loved about this story was that the author's vivid description of scenes was not hard for me to get into the story from the very beginning. It was lovely. Congrats on BOTD.

From a sampling, this seems like an interesting fantasy mystery story set in a world with angels and mysterious deaths. Who is the cause of these murders? It might be worth a second look. Well done.

Your review really plays up this book! It does an excellent job of thoroughy describing the writing style, the plot, and the characters without giving too much away. I love how you included your recommendation for readers, and the disclaimer about the graphic murder scenes.

What could be a better fiction/true crime novel than vigilante angels taking out bad people! Supernatural themes borrowed from Catholic beliefs. Horrible people dying in horrible ways is raw justice! This book is not for the squeamish.

Latest Review: Snatched Up to Heaven for Kids by Jemima Paul, Arvind Paul

Post by Liy_123 »

"Holy Terror" is a graphic novel written by Frank Miller, which tells the story of a hero's desperate and brutal quest to stop an army of murderous zealots. The book has received mixed reviews, with some praising its art and storytelling, while others criticize its Islamophobic and anti-Arab sentiments. The book has been described as mean, ugly, and a platform for Miller to scream at anyone opposed to the various military operations and wars in the Middle East. Some reviewers have also noted that the book's dialogue is laughably bad, and the art is obscured by sandpaper scratches in the first half of the book. Despite these criticisms, some reviewers have praised the book's moral depth and noir storytelling, which is reminiscent of Miller's earlier "Sin City" stories. The book is recommended for fans of Miller's work and those who enjoy graphic novels with cinematic action sequences. However, readers should be aware of the book's controversial content and decide for themselves whether they want to read it.

After reading the sample I strongly recommend this book 100%. I love mystery and thriller books and this ties into both. I loved how Lane and Ian discussed about doing investigations. I love books that do investigations. I think they are pretty fun!

Holy Terror follows a series of mysterious murders, some seem impossible to have been committed by humans, but they all have one thing in common: those murdered had criminal records. Who is killing them? Why?

This well-written religious fantasy novel seems like it will leave the reader pondering this story long after it has been read. Great review!

Whatever the idea behind judgment day, it must occur quickly. We require the judgment day and the release of this angel against those criminals in light of the events taking place all around us.
