The book comprises five stories, each exploring themes of supernatural encounters and personal turmoil. In "The Lost Are Always Burning," Julia, Eddie, and Susan grapple with hallucinations while Paul's spiritual gifts hint at deeper connections. James uncovers military cover-ups tied to a nuclear disaster. "This Handwriting is Not Mine" follows Mark's mysterious cognitive lapses intertwined with Daniel's battle against mind-controlling parasites. "The Undead of Greenwood" reveals Joel and Danna's struggle with supernatural forces tied to Joel's family secrets. "The Jenntu Artifact" spans decades, intertwining UFO encounters and artifacts. "Jacob's Games" follows Jacob's virtual and real-life trials, navigating a surreal game world amidst supernatural challenges.
 
The Righteous Place in Light and Shadow by R. Groff comprises five compelling narratives, each exploring the intersection of human struggles with supernatural forces. The book excels in its ability to blend the everyday with the extraordinary, offering readers a glimpse into characters' lives as they confront ancient artifacts, mind-controlling parasites, and unsettling supernatural phenomena. Groff's writing style effortlessly transitions between genres, creating a cohesive yet diverse reading experience.
 
The book captivated me with its depth of characterization, where each character undergoes transformations amidst supernatural encounters. Miller, unraveling UFO mysteries, exemplifies Groff's skill in creating complex and relatable characters. Their journeys are such that they showcase resilience amidst extraordinary circumstances. Groff not only delves into their internal struggles but also explores how these characters evolve through their interactions with the supernatural, making them compelling and deeply engaging. This mastery of characterization enriches the story.
 
The book was professionally edited. I rate it 5 out of 5 stars because reading it felt like watching a movie, and the storyline was uniquely captivating. Instances from the book where this cinematic quality shines include Mark’s journey in "This Handwriting is Not Mine," where his experiences with cognitive lapses and mysterious phenomena unfold. Similarly, Benjamin and John’s encounters with forces in "The Jenntu Artifact" evoke a sense of cinematic wonder. Each storyline unfolds with cinematic precision, offering an immersive experience that is both thrilling and profoundly moving. I recommend the book to fans of speculative fiction and fantasy.
 
There is nothing I didn’t like about the book. The book evolves through multiple perspectives, including those of Benjamin and John, whose destinies become entangled with Miller's investigation. John's transformation and Benjamin's pivotal actions amidst chaos propel the story forward, with each character battling with their own demons.

James Meenagh’s death accompliceEnd of a decade as U.S. government assassins, Nick Parker resigned. He went to work for the Washington State Criminal Investigation Department (CID) in Seattle, Washington. Deciding he’d had enough of law enforcement, he dropped everything and began rebuilding his mountain cabin, which had burned down a few months earlier. James Meenagh’s fantasy crime thriller Death’s Companion is the second book in the Nick Parker saga.

Nick got a call from his former CID partner Reggie Flanigan, who wanted to talk about the current case he was investigating. Reggie told him that a band from Chicago called "The Disciples" had expanded to the Seattle area. Teenage girls were arrested for human trafficking. Reggie has been reassigned as security for a law enforcement officer in the same neighborhood where the two girls were kidnapped by the gang. He thinks a member of Congress could be involved, and even some senators. Reggie didn't know who to trust, so he asked Nick to see what he could learn.

Nick was known as a ‘legend’ during the black ops years, and death seemed to follow him wherever he went—even in his dreams. There was a rumor that "it was a bad place to be on Parker's bad side." Reggie knew he could count on Nick to know where the girls were. Nick was determined to find the girls, save their lives and put an end to human trafficking forever. Unfettered by government or law enforcement, Nick had his own ideas. Reggie had told him that his team had a notorious sniper called ‘Killer B’ who never missed his target. Nick also learned that trafficking rings are controlled by the rich and powerful; He just didn't know how far they had climbed the ladder of the rich and powerful.
