The Book of Demons, the much-anticipated sequel to The Book of Souls, finds Jack Kelly in the fight of his life. This time, he's not battling ghosts. His nemesis is the shapeshifting necromancer, Mr. Philips, who inhabits both the world of the living and the world of the dead. When Mr. Philips discovers a powerful, cursed painting whose magic he can use for personal gain, he will stop at nothing to acquire it...including murder. Before he can get his hands on it, the painting goes missing and its artist is found dead. Enraged, Mr. Philips vows to hunt it down. But someone else finds it first: Jack, a teenage mystic who understands the painting's tremendous power and would do anything to keep Mr. Philips from harnessing it. Along with two unexpected allies-a non-verbal autistic child and the spirit of a dead nun-Jack battles to keep the painting away from Mr. Philips. But as the stakes rise along with the body count, their epic battle for possession of the painting may cost Jack everything and everyone he loves. Praise for The Book of Souls "An eerie tone permeates the entire story, with even mundane events feeling off-kilter. The whole cast seems to have multiple personas, all tinged with darkness." - Foreword Clarion Review "... a Spiritual roller coaster ride! Harry Potter meets the Exorcist!" - American Online Radio

The Book of Demons is a quick and fast-paced read. I have to admit, when I received this one and saw how short it was, I was worried it wouldn't wrap the story up well. Thankfully, I was wrong.
Just like the first one, this was hard to put down. I really enjoy this author's writing style and how easily it flows. The twists in this one as we learn more about the painting, and Jack's life, were unexpected and very creative.
I love all things supernatural and witchy, so this is a perfect Spooktober read. Thank you to the author and Books Forward for the review copy. All opinions are my own.
