[Following is the official OnlineBookClub.org review of "The Judas Cup" by Shaun ivory.]

A Judas Cup is a page-turning thriller set in the North York Moors. Shaun Ivory brings home the suspense with a storyline that grips you with both hands and refuses to let go. With all of the paranormals teeming with vampires and werewolves, it was nice to see one that dealt with something on a whole new level.

It is amazing how sometimes events that seem inconsequential and unrelated can all be tied to one nefarious scheme. This is what happens to Jake Ransome. He hears about a couple of events that have taken place and it just does not sit right with him. Since he is a reporter, his natural inclination is to look for the answers. In his quest for answers, he meets some interesting characters. They help him to tie the events together and understand that there is a possibility of supernatural forces at play.

Jake meets a woman and forms an instant connection. Little does he know, her uncle is the ring leader in a quest for the Judas Cup. With the help of black magic and the local priest, Nicholas Brookes is able to torture and kill those in the way of his quest from afar. The priest has already let loose a hound from hell. What other forces will be released before Brookes achieves his goals? Time is short because the main source of power is due to be flooded in a manner of days.

This book was amazing!! I felt like I could connect with the characters and found myself tensing up when things would take an ominous turn. You quite easily find yourself rooting for the good guys and trying to think of ways to help them out of their predicaments. The details were thorough enough that the reader should have no problems visualizing the scenes that they are reading. Though the ending does leave some questions unanswered, you just know that the main problems came out right.

I give this book 4 out of 4 stars. One of my favorite things about this book, besides the storyline that kept me enthralled, was the fact that I had to use the dictionary numerous times. It was nice to be introduced to new words instead of mainstream words that could have possibly diminished the flow of the story. I would like to think the ending was done as it was so that the reading could provide their own interpretations on things to come. This book is one that should be recommended to fans of thrillers.
