MY REVIEW
I am putting a disclaimer out there right now , don't read this book in the dark or before you go to bed .
Evil has been around since the beginning of time and has been getting stronger and stronger. Now it has found its way to a family who's youngest son is chosen to be the one who brings the evil to this side . The evil is preying on the young and our main character , five year old Tony is caught in the middle . Will the young priest save them all or will he be too late to save them all
This book has so many great characters . There are the true evil characters and the ones who hide their evilness behind the liquor and abuse . Tony is one of the central characters he is a sweet little boy who has had it hard in his first 5 yrs of life . You just want to wrap him in a blanket and hug him tight . Billy is his big brother who will do anything to keep his little family together and safe. He is a good kid that is an alter boy in church along with his friend James . They are great kids and want to do good for their families. I really liked these two characters you see them from two different backgrounds but are the best of friends and you can see their friendship all the way through the story.
The rest of the cast of characters are so well written and you will cheer for them all the way through the book .
When you read this book be prepared to be on the edge of the seat and cowering under a blanket .
Mike has a way of writing creepy in such a way that you will get totally enthralled . As you turn each page it gets eerier and eerier . You can almost feel the goose bumps forming and the hairs on your arms standing up on end . I was hooked on the first page and I couldn't put it down until I knew they were safe . I didn't even realize at one point I was holding my breath until I let it go . I can't wait till his next book comes out . They are getting better and better with every book I read . So if you want a book that will keep you up at night and maybe give you a nightmare or two . Check out DEMONS BEWARE by Mike Evans .
This as you say is a great book, my favourite Mike book, and when I read it I thought same as you, Exorcist/The Omen and other films of that style
