I like the thought of evil people with a history of criminal records becoming victims so I’m looking forward to digging into this suspense filled novel to know how these evil entities die, seemingly with the involvement of angels.

The book cover made me think it is a horror story, but your review indicates elements of books that I normally like; suspense, thrill, some investigations, and even a great story plot. I think I can read this book if the supernatural elements are not too scary.

Good vs. evil is always a drawcard for me, and this book sounds like it delivers on that. Thanks for the transparency about the Catholic references and the need for an open mind. I'm looking forward to reading this.

This book sounds like the perfect read for me! I love gore and murder in books. I love suspense and emotional ups and downs. Your points about the well-written characters and scenes have convinced me that I must read this book.
I love your review because it is to the point and discusses only the necessary things without giving away any spoilers. Thank you for such an excellent review! I look forward to reading this book someday!

This is the first time that I come across such a book where the elements of supernatural like angels were added to the real world. The story seems interesting and it makes me curious to know more.

This book tells a unique Christian fiction story which delves into a supernatural world of angels. It can be an eye-opener for the working of the supernatural in the natural realm. It is a good recommendation for readers interested in fiction.

The book is too dark for my taste. I am sure it will appeal to those who like crime and detective novels. Thanks for the review.

I love books about supernatural beings hence would like to read the book and get to know who is the one behind all the deaths of the evil people. The book has been rated 4 out of 4 hence it must be very interesting and the reviewer has also mentioned about the vivid description which helps one involve them more in the book.

The concept of someone passing judgment on these criminals in a grisly manner raises thought-provoking questions about justice and retribution. I'm eager to read the book to discover the motives behind these mysterious killings. Congrats on the BOTD.

I love the theme or genre of this book...cuz they are my favorites.....thriller, crime, supernatural, suspense, ......and as the review says the description of scenes is vivid ... oh...I prefer that so much, it helps me get more into the story like it's projecting in front of my eyes .....I draw my theories and try to solve them like a detective .........it feels so real like I am on an adventure myself ... so this book is perfect for the type of person .....who wants to go on an adventure and get devoured by imagination.

Did I get it right? I have the impresson and is already concluding from the review that it is about crimes in the name of justice. And the angels are the one responsible for it. Wow! That would be regretful for those commiting evil. Ah, I do not know if I could go on reading very violent scenes to the point that reader discretion is advised. But yes, I usually continue despite my stomach feeling upside down (and imagining the physical pain of the violence) if the suspense has captivated me. The review still left the question of who is responsible a little bit still hanging. Nice! I am still not sure of my conclusion. Would I be right? Would I be wrong and be surprized (and fooled)? Would it be both right and wrong? Additionally, I liked all the characteristics of the story: fast-paced, direct without redundancy, vivid description, suspenseful with emotional rollercoasters, interesting imagination with a touch of research and reality. Wow! How could the inclusion of angels make me believe that there is reality in it? Where! What part! Very nice! Nice review!
