Detectives Shields and Lucas embark on tracking the activities of the Midnight Star in Hollywood, L.A., their base as members of the police force. This investigation leads them down a path of overwhelming adventure and discovery, testing them to their limits in pursuit of ending the reign of the 'Midnight Star' a vicious serial killer who selects victims at his whim. Who is this killer and what is the reason for his actions? Readers will uncover the perilous nature of the adventure depicted in this captivating read.


The Sixth Commandment by Will Pierce encapsulates mystery, violent adventure, and religious fantasy, focusing on the theme of exorcism. It takes readers on a journey of paranormal, criminal, and suspenseful nature, narrating events in such a compelling manner that they almost feel factual, despite the author's early declaration of fiction.

I appreciate the use of language in this book; it strikes a balance between elite and accessible, making it understandable for adult readers and even younger, astute minds who enjoy literature. The meticulous character development and plot display commendable craftsmanship, with each character finely fashioned about their role in the story, lending a sense of realism to the fictional events. The editing work also reflects professionalism; though some errors were noted while reading, they were minimal in occurrence, showcasing considerable effort.

I find no reasonable grounds to dislike this book, as the author seems to have checked all necessary boxes to qualify it for the title of 'bestseller.' It's a wonderful work of art deserving of recognition.

I rate it a perfect 5 out of 5 stars for its well-written narrative. Despite containing sensitive content such as profanity and sexual, violent, and religious details, their presence is moderated enough to maintain propriety, ensuring the book's enjoyment for a wider range of readers. I recommend it primarily to lovers of religious fiction with elements of exorcism, fantasy, and adventure, but also to anyone who appreciates good literature, regardless of personal preferences. It's truly an amazing read.

Wow, what a glowing review! I’m not usually a reader of religious fiction but this sounds as if it includes a lot of the other things that I enjoy in a good thriller and I can’t see why I would mind the exorcism aspects- after all, I liked The Exorcist! I love a good murder mystery, especially one that’s a little different from all the rest. Thanks for your review!

I'm not sure of the religious fiction element after having some bad experiences with that but overall this seems like an engaging supernatural thriller. Thank you for your great review!

When an author makes use of balanced writing styles, i believe it makes a greater impact on the reader; given everything is done moderately well. This review makes the book appear interesting and one I'd be interested in reading. May add to my bookshelf.
