Readers learn near the beginning of the story that Pastor Nathan Hanlin has had his share of heartache. His father is dead, his mother insane, and his pregnant wife has been killed in what he deems is a senseless tragedy. He has now left the church he had been spiritual leader of and is asking not if there is a god, but why God has let him down and abandoned him.
Soon, Nathan questions if an ominous evil presence he can see is actually taking root in the quaint town of Bandit Creek. The good-hearted and god-fearing townsfolk begin to witness what appears to be evil incarnate and Nathan may be at the heart of it all.
I was riveted to this story and couldn’t put this novella down. Steena Holmes should expand this short story to novel length; she’s already tapped into her inner Stephen King!
I given this story 4 1/2 stars!!

This was a good, solid supernatural story with some twists that I didn't see coming. The only problem...It's not long enough! Seriously, I'm looking forward to the next book to see how the story turns out. My full review is on my blog if you're interested: http://thechippermuse.blogspot.com/20...

I received this story from Bewitching Book Tours and devoured it pretty quickly.
The very blurb called to me, made me want to read it. I mean, who doesn't like talking demonic crows? Once I actually got into it, I found it to be as awesome as the blub suggested.
Steena creates a tormented character in a short amount of space, and I was soon rooting for him and the choice he had to make.
There's romance, drama, magic, darkness...pretty much anything you could want in a tale of the devil and the pained priest.

This story has him seeing a mysterious man and a flock of crows and he and the townspeople seeing a mysterious swarm of bugs.
