Book of the Dead: A Matt Kearns series, Book 2
Novel review by Greig Beck
WOW! I devoured this book while doing life!
Being able to return to the world of Matt Kearns was already excitement in the making, but to see a face from the Alex Hunter series, too? Oh, I knew who she was as soon as she stepped on to the scene. It's also why I love Greig Beck novels so much! Welcome to the Book of the Dead review.

I've read practically all of Beck's books, via Audible.com, excluding two that were ebooks. When I finally got a hold of Book of the Dead, book two in the Matt Kearns series, I knew I had a piece of gold. This book isn't just a read- its a step into a hellish nightmare.
And I loved every minute of it!
In Book of the Dead, the time of Cthulhu has returned, but there's so much more to it. Thanks to the frantic, yet poetic writings by The Mad Arab, there may be a way to hold back the destruction of all things human. But is it all real? And even is true, where is this book of mythos? And what's causing such unbelievable events, such as sinkholes that suddenly appear all over the face of the earth? Everywhere, people in homes, businesses and other establishments suffer tremors, smell something odorous, and then they're gone... But that's not the end. As with all horror novels, something's down there with any survivors. But this is all the prelude to what's truly coming. It's up to Matt Kearns, a friend from a different series by Beck, and the military to find out what's happening and fix it, before all of humanity is lost- all while holding to their sanity!
This book is a straight up monsterfest! It's got things that only someone like Beck can bring to life. It really is a horror novel and nothing like the A.H. series- it's all on its own. Book of the Dead takes what you think is creepy and scary, amplifies it to the hundredth power, then adds literary glitter. You want to read this and you can not stop yourself until the end has been read. Had I no other obligations, I'd have finished this the day I began it.
Don't let reviews by a few people fool you. I've noticed a couple, on Amazon, say this book's not for any reader. They claim its "manly" and filled with military action- and that's true. It's also filled with fantastic adventure and things that only a true adventurist and fictional reader could appreciate. As with all my Greig Beck reviews, this one is a winner, winner, seafood dinner, and you can take that to the bank!
I'm moving on to The Immortality Curse, book three in the Kearns series right now. I hope it's just as fantastic. Do yourself a favor and borrow Book of the Dead. Grab a copy of all Beck's books. I am not an official sponsor, but I'm also not lying.
Cheers!
