A Brush with Evil by Jody Summers is a gripping supernatural thriller that takes readers on a journey through the dark and twisted mind of Arthur, a man with deadly powers. This third installment in the series works well as a stand-alone novel, although reading the previous books would provide a deeper understanding of the characters and their backgrounds.

The story begins with Arthur, a man diagnosed with terminal brain cancer, whose anger and frustration fuel his newfound supernatural abilities. These powers enable him to manipulate and harm others, particularly women, due to his deep-seated resentment stemming from his troubled past. Summers does an excellent job of delving into Arthur's psyche and capturing the raw emotions that drive his actions.

As Arthur embarks on a quest to swindle money for a potentially life-saving experimental treatment, he inadvertently crosses paths with Kira and Sean, a husband and wife who possess their own unique supernatural gifts. When they discover Arthur's deadly actions, they become determined to stop him and protect innocent lives.

The supernatural elements in the story are well-crafted and add an intriguing layer to the plot. Summers skillfully explores the characters' abilities and their implications within the narrative. Kira and Sean's powers are particularly captivating, and their interactions with Arthur create intense and suspenseful moments.

One aspect that detracts from the overall reading experience is the lack of professional editing. The book would benefit from additional proofreading and polishing to eliminate grammatical errors and improve sentence structure. While this does not diminish the story's quality, it hinders the flow of the narrative at times.

Despite this flaw, A Brush with Evil is an engrossing read that keeps readers on the edge of their seats. Summers' storytelling abilities shine through as she weaves a complex web of supernatural intrigue and explores the depths of human darkness.

The book leaves some questions unanswered, encouraging readers to seek out the previous novels in the series for further clarity and character development. This creates an opportunity for readers to engage with the world Summers has built, deepening their investment in the story.

In conclusion, A Brush with Evil by Jody Summers is an enthralling supernatural thriller with well-crafted characters and a captivating plot. While the book would benefit from professional editing, its strengths outweigh this flaw. I highly recommend this novel to fans of the genre who enjoy dark and suspenseful tales. A Brush with Evil deserves a solid 4 out of 5 stars.

Wow! A battle among people with supernatural powers. This really sounds like a book I need to read. I think (hope) I’ll be able to deal with the errors.

This has been written incredibly well. The book
May seem to be a normal supernatural thriller but the more you read it the better it gets. I extremely recommend reading this, as it is quite intriguing.
