Review of Holy Terror

This story seems to be interesting. I wonder how Ian and Lane contribute to the central conflict of the story. Thumo expects justice to prevail. I hope justice prevails at the end. Murders of not-so-innocent people doesn’t give the right to kill them either. Good review.

I love supernatural elements in the books I read. It helps make the story more interesting and captivating for me. This book seems really suspenseful and highly enjoyable. I'm not an extremely religious person, however, the author does mention that it doesn't affect the enjoyment of the book so I think I will enjoy it regardless. I'll keep this book in mind. Congrats on BOTD!

A very thrilling and enticing review that makes the book sound like a must read.
The actual name of the book " Holy Terror", does not grab my attention in considering this read, however this wonderful review, encapsulating the suspense, has done the job!
I have always been one of those humans who believe we are linked to the supernatural and I am an avid fan of angels and what they represent in many ways to the world. The contents and constructs of the angels and the supernatural realm in this book have captivated my curiosity.

This novel explores the world of angels. The gruesome murders that start happening seem to be linked. I would like to know more about this.

Not exactly my cup of tea, because I consider the angels and demons as religious mythology and I am really not interested in the subject. At the same time, I admit that the story definitely has great potential as a mystery and the philosophical aspect is quite enticing as well. Not sure if I'll read it yet, but congrats with BOTD!

I love the mystery of who's behind the scenes, serving as judge, jury and executioner. I wonder though if the angels are the ones performing those gruesome killings. This book would be a really interesting supernatural mystery story. Congrats on BOTD!

A murder mystery with angels sounds interesting.

Thank you for the great review,

Holy Terror by John R. Dougherty is a novel that delves into the supernatural world of angels. We are introduced to a variety of murders occurring over the state. Interesting enough, all the victims are evil people with a history of criminal records. How they die is gruesome and despicable. Some don't seem to be by normal human strength. Who is behind all these mysterious killings? Who is passing such passionate judgment on the victims? Where will this frenzy lead to? Is killing off deserving individuals the best justice there is? Read on to know the perpetrator and, eventually, the ultimate decision at the end of the novel.

This thought-provoking masterpiece is the work of a very interesting imagination combined with research. The author understands the working of the angels and has done an incredible job of bringing them to life. I especially loved Thumo's depiction of anger towards the evil upon the earth. I understand his predicament since this is what he was created for: to bring justice into the world. Sometimes we all wish we could do the same. Lane and Ian are also well-developed characters that will eventually become focal points for the whole story. Read this book if you want to know more about the working of the supernatural in the natural realm. This could be an eye-opener.

What I loved about this story is the author's vivid description of scenes. It was not hard for me to get into the story from the very beginning. The author does not tally in the storytelling. Most of the scenes were fast-paced and did not bore me with redundancy. This is an aspect I look for in a book.

There was nothing that I disliked about this book. From the plot, storytelling, and conclusion, everything falls together beautifully. I loved the timely delivery and introduction of characters. The book is suspenseful and filled with a variety of emotional rollercoasters. It is definitely a book worth reading.

The author has borrowed heavily from concepts of Catholicism. Even though this did not affect the enjoyment of the book, I found it worth noting here. The reader will come across several Catholic beliefs. If one decides to read this book, one should do so with an open mind, as that will lead to an immense enjoyment of the book.

I rate this book 4 out of 4 stars. From the many aspects aforementioned, nothing warrants a point deduction. I found only a few errors, and the book is professionally edited. I recommend this book to lovers of fictional novels with a touch of reality. Lovers of true crime and detective novels will also greatly enjoy reading this book. The book has a number of vividly described violent scenes. Reader discretion is advised.
