From Hell
Book 8 in the Alex Hunter series by
Greig Beck
Every time I have to wait for another installment of the Alex Hunter series, I find myself sitting on pins and needles, salivating at the mouth, like a fiend. The stories swell with action, the action impeccable, and the purpose is driving. Who wouldn't be biting at the bit? So when I lucked out with From Hell, I dove right in.
But I wasn't supposed to finish so fast... #element-605b243e-2511-4908-9267-167e81b00634 .waddons-blog-image.hideImage { display: none;}
So as one of the luckies- I got a copy of From Hell on July 12th. The very next day I began, soaking in every detail, every emotion and every scene as though it were my last. Because, technically, it will be for a while. From Hell begins with a back story, one I've carried interest in for practically all my life- the destruction of Pompeii. But this was no ordinary retell, primarily because Beck wrote it. You see, along with the fire, ash and the hardening of fluids in the lungs, creatures descended Mt. Etna and Vesuvius during the eruption. Things of tribulation and horror... and they were taking the people!
With this installment, Alex Hunter is doing more than dealing with his demon. He's saved the world countless times, and all he receives, in reward, is time in The Box. It's by his own creation, but is it working? (Sorry, I won't tell you haven't a clue.) When his family winds up in turmoil, leaving his team of HAWCs to literally battle against hell, he has to come out with controlled swing9ing. Thankfully, he's got a little help.
Also, Joshua's showing signs of telekinetic advancement, connecting with both his father on expeditions, as well as with Tor, the family pet. Sadly, these particular skills places him in danger from a source one would never have imagined. Can this magnificent family ever find happiness? And will the world stop for just one moment, foregoing the desire to devour humanity, body and soul?
Wow- that's my big summary! And it still doesn't tell enough on why I loved this book so much. So I began reading while halfway through Camp NaNoWriMo. Thankfully, my story was complete, but I had to edit, so I finished the book in 5 days instead of my usual 3 or so. I was compelled to see what was going to happen next, how the foe would be defeated and then it was like, "Ka-BlAM!" ALEX was in it, and I was utterly blown away!
Now, I've always been a Sam fan- loving the guy to smithereens, but when Alex pulled through, he became the Knight in Shining Armor. He waited for nothing and kicked Aztec all the way. But From Hell is different from the other Hunter books. The threat is more powerful than any he's ever faced, with minions the likes I've never seen. The destruction was of nightmares and the hero's actions brought me to steaming, watery eyes. I woke my husband with my concerns and I wasn't sure if I was going to be happy with the ending! Yes- I'm not lying.
Thankfully, I was more than pleased and I'm guaranteed another book. Alyssa can wait, a Happy Camper! So check out From Hell, book 8 in the Alex Hunter series, but do even better than that- if you haven't read any- go to book 1 first! You don't have to read them in order, but you'd be so much better off if you did.
I'm off to the next read. Cheers! From Hell
