Children from the Light is far more than a paranormal crime-fiction novel; it incorporates the eternal battle between good and evil. I love the strong female heroine lead, the depth and emotion of each of the supporting characters; even seeing Lucifer portrayed as a mischevious, yet still evil persona are all marks of a superb paranormal fantasy.  I'm looking forward to the release of book five!

John tells an extraordinary tale about Good versus Evil and how different people from all walks of life can help change the course against evil to save the human race.  Even though he only uses a couple of characters to represent the fight against evil, he also informs the reader that we all have a purpose here on earth and we have the free will to chose between doing right or wrong.  After I started to read "Fallen Masters" I had a hard time putting the book down. I would recommend this book as a must read!!!

A war between good and evil, armies of light and dark, a story of elves, dwarves, hobbits, man, and creatures of the dark. As great evil spreads accross the land it is up to a fellowship of nine to inspire hope. Songs  are sung about heroes, fate, and destiny. Truly the most epic of all  stories in the last 1000 years! A great read that will ignite your  imagination.

The Demon Within is the story about how the main character is in a fight between doing the right thing and doing the wrong thing. For most of his life, he did the right thing. But now, after a misstep, he is literally fighting the Demon Within while the angel Michael is fighting for his soul above.

The book flowed very well and kept me very engaged so I read through it pretty quickly. The characters were entertaining and Joe's struggles to get to everlasting paradise should resonate with many readers.

Honestly, it hit me deeper than I expected out of a fantasy-ish novel. It gave me pause as to the daily battles of good vs evil that I face and what I choose. It's an unexpected bonus when a good book leaves you doing some deep thinking long after you're done.

This is an intense war between good and evil.  The sun summoner and Mal were the good, the suffering.  The Darkling and those who did not resist him were the evil.  This is not a book for the young, who may get discouraged easily.

The biblical battle of good vs. evil is played out in modern day. Lydia, a working mother in suburban America, becomes the desire of Vlad the Vampire.  Lydia fights for her life and with help from Jesus (who, from nowhere, appears throughout the book, much like the legendary hitchhiker of the nineteen seventies) wages battle `til the end. "Be Not Afraid" is a nice, at times spooky, read from K.R. Morrison.

Awesome!  Good vs Evil...the way it all ties together in the end.

A futuristic account of the eternal struggle between Good and Evil. Action from first word to last ensures a continuous read without interruption.

I enjoyed the fantasy story depicting God and Jesus as the underlying story in the characters and good verses evil.

This takes place in a parallel universe.  Many of the differences, such as geography, provide only a backdrop, but separating this world from ours are two major differences that play important roles.  First, there is the mysterious "Dust" and, secondly, all humans are here are accompanied by the well-known "familiar" of witchcraft lore.  The author openly labels them demons.

  Early on, the main character acquires a device that allows her to enter a trance and prophesy.  As the novel progresses, the main character discovers that her parents are evil, sometimes backed by an evil church, sometimes operating in defiance of that evil church.  She also discovers that Dust is the source of all sin.  This source of all sin is what powers her divination device.  She reckons that since her evil parents thought that Dust was evil, then this Dust, the source of all sin must actually be a good thing, and she embraces it.

Although very well written, this novel is too long to be effective in turning children against their parents' beliefs and values, although it may be suggested for independent reading or assigned to more advanced students as an individual choice novel.

Sigmund Brouwer's series, Merlin's Immortals comes to a close in this installment. The same themes that have run from the beginning emerge in this work. Good versus evil, and the discernment required to tell the different. The concept of trust runs strongly, and there is a small thread of redemption that emerges.
Thomas of Magnus has ridden the roller-coaster of life. He goes from orphan to king of Magnus to losing the city and being force from it. He runs, seeking the information that will regain his throne and place. He feels caught between forces of good and evil. Merlin's immortals battle to protect the good that is found in the world, while the Druids seek power and to spread their evil influence. Thomas desires to do good, but at times the two sides seem hard to distinguish between. He feels like a pawn stuck in the midst of a cosmic chess game. In Blades of Valor, all comes to a head, and there are enough twists and turns involved that the reader will be kept reading and enjoying the work. The book has a few minor weaknesses (maybe too many twists and turns!), but nothing worth marking it down over. I enjoyed reading it and would recommend it to other fans of medieval fiction.

I give it five out of five stars.

I received a free copy of this book from Waterbrook Multnomah in exchange for a fair and honest review.

Angels and Demons stalk the earth without the knowledge of mortal men.  Demons, in this time, hunt humans for food.  Most of them, least of all a very ancient and powerful demon named Rayner, have no idea why they do this and have no concept that they answer to a higher power.  Yet, this system has been in place for many thousands of years.  Angels watch over humans attempting to keep the activity of the demons under control.  But now it is time for the final showdown between demons and angels, between God and Satan, with the fate of humanity hanging in the balance.

God is raising an army from among carefully selected humans and He has chosen a handful to enter into battle alongside His Angels against the demons.  Although she does not understand this epic battle, Cassandra Graystone is such a soldier.  Her purpose under the leadership of an Angel named Manasseh is to gather other soldiers of God into a fighting force to do battle against demons wherever they find them.  The aggressiveness of the demons force her small army to fight while constantly moving.  Along the Way, Cassandra learns a great deal about herself and her motives, and a great deal about her brother Johnny and their friends that accompany her on the mission.  Feeling abandoned by God times.  Cassandra also learns that God has a plan, that He has a special way of His own of implementing His plan and that God will never leave her or forsake her.

Rayner begins to be curious about humans.  He has no concept of God or Satan, nor does he understand the behavior of his fellow demons.  He feels no common bond with them and the more he learns about humans, the less he relates to his fellow demons.  As a result, Rayner develops an odd respect Cassandra that has significant ramifications in the coming battle.

A Time of Angels and Demons is an action-packed edge of the seat thriller that keeps the reader wondering whether Cassandra will be able to endure and whether Rayner will ultimately decide to support his fellow demons or to help Cassandra and her band of God soldiers.  The characters are well-developed, each of the characters has its own personal challenges to overcome and include challenges of faith and of their relationships to others.  They all suffer losses, adjust to gains and meet overwhelming challenges of faith.

This book is a great read for anyone who loves fantasy, fights against good and evil, books in which faith is tried, and those who generally love adventures.

Molly Neely has given us a historical look into a battle between evil and faith that spans millennia. This is a well written novel that introduces the reader into events of the past along with her views on the Savior, Saint Peter and the Arch Angel Michael.

Malachi is the half breed son of a demon and a human that fights within himself which half to covet. He knows he wants to be human, but the constant intimidation and pressure provided by Lucifers minions make it difficult to obtain as they constantly eliminate his allies.

Father Caleb is a modern day priest that struggles with his faith due to his past. He has a successful church and promising flock. Then he is suddenly thrust into the Malachi dilemma.

This is an exciting read.

The protagonists have character... they are appealing.  The work is well edited and very well written which is rare and unique among the independently published.  Loving supernatural fiction means loving the conflict of ancient struggles between good and evil.  This book is full of good and evil for sure.  It's a quick read~ I liked it!

This is certainly one of the best graphic novels I have ever read. It presents a brilliant blend of religious imagery and classic superhero mythology. It tests of limits of the superhuman presence in human society, and takes the consequences of this 'clash' to the field of Armageddon. I have nothing but good things to say about this comic.
