Synopsis:

DO YOU BELIEVE IN EVIL?

Rose Early is searching for her missing sister Joan. The only clue she has is a horror novel with her sister's notes in the margins. The author of the book lives only a few minutes away and Rose can't resist seeking him out. She understands why his book affected her sister: the author creates an evil so palpable it shakes even skeptical Rose.

Vic Drummond, the writer, knew Rose's sister, and agrees to help Rose find her; Rose expected him to be reclusive and strange, but she didn't expect him to be quite so . . . attractive. As their search intensifies, Rose finds herself inexorably drawn to Vic, but it seems to Rose that their feelings for each other are being influenced by some outside force-she knows love at first sight doesn't exist.

As they come closer to finding Joan, Rose and Vic journey from the local church to a mysterious sex club whose members dress in demon costumes. The more they learn about what Joan was doing in the days before her disappearance, the more questions they have, until Rose must decide: Does she believe in real evil? And does she believe in real love?

My Thoughts:

I've read this book 3 years ago, and I can definitely say that the story is still intact in my mind. The idea of having a demon inside a church is really creepy. It is really unsettling the way people were possessed and influenced by this demon to create such havoc in a used-to-be peaceful town.

The plot is exquisite, the characters are amazing and all in all this is a very unsettling but amazing read. If you want fast-pace, I highly recommend this book.… (mere)
