Re: Review of Holy Terror

From the review, I can already see the book has mystery and is filled with suspense. Evil doers are being brought to justice in an expected way. I would also like to see how the author applied the concept of Catholicism in the book. Congratulations to the author on BOTD!

Latest Review: We are Voulhire: A New Arrival under Great Skies by Matthew Tysz

Post by Sakshi Patel 1 »

This thought-provoking masterpiece is the creation of a highly imaginative writer who blends creativity with well-researched content. The author's portrayal of angels and their intricate workings is remarkable, bringing these celestial beings to life. Notably, the depiction of Thumo's anger and his sense of purpose in bringing justice to the world is compelling. It resonates with the desire many of us have to right the wrongs we see. Lane and Ian also emerge as well-developed characters who promise to play pivotal roles in the unfolding narrative. If you're curious about the interplay of the supernatural in the natural world, this book is a must-read and offers a unique perspective.

"Holy Terror" by John R. Dougherty delves into the supernatural realm of angels and a series of murders taking place across the state. Intriguingly, all the victims share a common trait: a history of criminal activities. The brutality of these murders surpasses the capabilities of a human assailant. Who is responsible for these mysterious and gruesome killings? What drives this relentless pursuit of justice against the deserving yet wicked individuals? The novel promises to unveil the identity of the perpetrator and the ultimate resolution of this gripping tale.

The vivid descriptions of the story's scenes are a standout feature, drawing readers into the narrative effortlessly from the very beginning. The author maintains a brisk storytelling pace, avoiding unnecessary redundancy – a quality much appreciated by any reader.

It's challenging to find any aspects of this book to dislike. The plot, storytelling, and conclusion are well-crafted, making for a seamless and enjoyable reading experience. The timing of character introductions and the delivery of suspenseful and emotionally charged scenes contribute to the book's overall appeal.

The author significantly draws from Catholic concepts in the book, which, while not detracting from the reading experience, is worth noting. Readers will encounter various Catholic beliefs, and approaching the book with an open mind will enhance their enjoyment of the narrative.

I wholeheartedly rate this book 4 out of 4 stars. The book's numerous strengths do not warrant any point deductions. It is professionally edited, with only a few minor errors. I highly recommend "Holy Terror" to fans of fictional novels with a touch of reality. Enthusiasts of true crime and detective fiction will also find this book exceptionally engaging. Note that the book contains vivid descriptions of violent scenes, so reader discretion is advised.

I love anything and everything supernatural, and the fact that this book deals with an angle doing vigilante stuff makes it even more interesting. Thumos character seems interesting and intense, and I am curious to know his reasons behind all of this. I would love to read it soon.
