[Lori Ogden · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is one of those rare gems that you find once in a while. The story and characters so engaging that when you read the final passage you are left with a pit of sadness. Like saying good bye to a dear friend. I can not wait to see what else this young author has in store for these characters.

With shimmering dark eyes and a flutter of feathers, evil arrives in God's Country.

News reports warn of a super flu. The victims behave very strangely and quarantine measures are enforced. At first, most people are too consumed with their own problems to pay the matter much notice, but this quickly changes. One deadly element combines with another and another until the situation finally reaches critical mass!

This book actually is very reminiscent of a nuclear blast. Once the explosion begins, the flame and fury go on and on. This is a fast-paced, action-packed apocalyptic thriller that keeps the reader's heart racing right up to the end.

Jeremy Peterson is a new, up-and-coming writer in the horror genre. With a hypnotic writing style and dark imagination, he weaves a highly compelling first novel that is a must read. I believe that we will see more great works from this author, and I'm already anxiously awaiting his next novel.

[Breanna Green · Rating 2 out of 5]

A Devil in God's Country has a very interesting idea and had good potential going for it. However I don't think the writing style fit the story, more detail was given to gory death scenes and violent attacks than to the main characters we're supposed to care about. As a result (along with trying to introduce them all at pretty much the same time) made it difficult to connect to any of them or really care what happens to them. Overall this book has a good idea, it just needs editing, to focus on the characters and making them believable and relatable.
