Review
Awesome story! At first, I didn’t like Father Tommy Hickey because the moment he arrived at his first parish, he had nothing but complains. But then I realized that even though he’s a priest, he’s just like any of us who has hopes and dreams. Also, it didn’t take him long to regret his lack of compassion and even shared that to all the people present during his first Holy Mass, redeeming himself as a respectable young priest.
There’s so much going on in this story: too many cats are dying, ghosts of people and a dog are haunting their own family, a killer fisherman is back from the dead, and there’s a demon too! Who wouldn’t keep on reading to find out how Tommy could save the people of Galilee from these very strange occurrences?
I’m giving this book 5 out of 5 stars. I love the inconceivable and mysterious flow of the story. It was unpredictable, gripping, and entertaining! I highly recommend this to readers who love horror thrillers.
