Review of Soul Fraud
Posted: 01 Nov 2022, 01:19
[Following is an official OnlineBookClub.org review of "Soul Fraud" by Andrew Givler.]
In Soul Fraud by Andrew Givler, Matthew 'Matt' Steven Carver found himself in the middle of a sticky situation with the supernatural world. It all started on his birthday and a simple trip to an old movie theater. His birthday was a sad day for him because it reminded him of the death of his mother and two sisters; they died on their way to visit him. Going to the theaters was a way for him to escape his friends and whatever celebration they planned. However, he was interrupted by Dan, a small-statured man who said he was from the "Sales Department of Hell." Dan was ready to make all his desires come through. But like all gifts from hell, it was limited, with a heavy price. Matt declined the demonic deal but later discovered hell had already stolen something from him. Now, he would do anything to get back what belonged to him.
One of the first things that must be commended about this book would be the author's masterful use of words in a way that built up curiosity and intrigue. Readers would be lured in by Givler's words from the very beginning by the participation he created. The plot flowed seamlessly, and it was easy to follow its progression. There weren't many complicated subplots that fantasy stories would usually feature. It was a simple story but one that maintained its intrigue till the very end. The story was not so unfamiliar, but it was unconventional enough to excite and maintain the reader's interest.
The author incorporated alluring humor that left its mark on the entire story; it seemed to dampen the otherwise dangerous storyline. This humor showed in the characters' dialogue, adding to the book's exciting quality. It also made the characters likable, including the villains. The story also featured some familiar favorite fantasy characters that might appeal to readers, like demons, Nephilims, and the fae. These characters would take readers beyond the realm of the physical world and into the world of imagination. Matt and his team—Alex and Orion— made a strangely formidable company, and their journey brought many thrills to the story.
The book had a good dose of action. Readers would be taken through twists that led to sinister situations, spars, and dangerous battles. Thanks to the author's storytelling, it was easy to be immersed in the thrill of each scene as they gradually led up to the story's climax. This book was deeply entertaining, and it may be difficult for readers to stop reading until they reach its end. The promise of a sequel was also something to anticipate.
I loved every aspect of Soul Fraud. It was a satisfying read, exciting, intriguing in a sinister way, and humourous, with fantastic character dialogue. I suspect that all these qualities would make for good screen time. The book was also professionally edited. I'd recommend it to lovers of fantasy stories about the supernatural. I'd rate Soul Fraud four out of four stars.
