Eric Walker and Tori Reyes, detectives partnered on a critical case, face a sudden turn of events when Eric disappears for a year, presumed dead after pursuing Carlos Mendoza and his cohorts. Reyes refuses to accept her partner's supposed demise, haunted by the brutal murders she witnessed before Eric's disappearance. Despite her exhaustive efforts to piece together the puzzle, the situation remains murky and unresolved. As a new spate of deaths grips the city, eyewitnesses claim the perpetrators are demonic entities—an outlandish assertion that nonetheless becomes the focus of Reyes's investigation. Could such fantastical beings truly exist within the city limits, and will Eric's fate ever be uncovered? Dive into this captivating narrative to uncover more.
 
"Warden of the Dark: The Wrath of Ira" by A.D. Lewis offers a compelling blend of horror, mystery, and suspense, delving into the realms of both the supernatural and the physical. The narrative centers on Mr. Finch, a demon who escapes the confines of the dark supernatural realm to wreak havoc on Earth, with Raven, the warden of the dark, standing as the only obstacle to his nefarious intentions. The outcome hinges on whether Raven can thwart Finch's plans, a question whose answer lies in time alone. The book paints a vivid picture of a world where human actions breed malevolence and where external influences shape individual destinies, exemplified by the transformation of Carl Jackson into a deranged figure due to his troubled upbringing.
 
What I loved most about the book was its compelling moral themes. Through the interplay of demons, detectives, and troubled individuals, the author skillfully explores the intricacies of contemporary society and the human condition. Additionally, the author's superb writing style ensures an immersive reading experience. The suspenseful scenes depicting demon-human confrontations elicit a genuine sense of dread and anticipation, leaving readers eagerly anticipating the next twist in the story. I'm eagerly looking forward to diving into the sequel to this captivating tale.
 
I have no criticisms of the book. The plot is meticulously crafted, with well-developed characters that draw you in. The writing style is lucid and straightforward, making it easy to follow. Every moment in the book is engaging, without any dull spots.
 
I give the book a rating of 4 out of 5 stars, with one star deducted for the errors I encountered. Nonetheless, it remains a captivating story that will undoubtedly keep readers engrossed. I highly recommend it to fans of crime and mystery narratives.

A supernatural mystery can be intriguing and the moral themes being at the center of the novel make it stronger together with the social issues, so I hope the author does another round of proofreading to make it excellent. Thank you for your great review!
