"Intercessor" by John Robert Still seems intriguing. I knew from the introduction of your nice review. I am curious about the storm that left Jim feeling odd and I hope he came out of the junkie-web he walked into. Congrats on BOTD.

Great review! You had me intrigued until you mentioned God, Jesus, and the Virgin Mary. In my opinion, some good books are ruined when they start bringing religion into them. I'll put this one aside and figure out later whether I will read it.

A spiritual thriller starring Jim Hampton interests me.

Thank you for the great review.

Intercessor by John Robert Still, gives off the very vibe that everything happens for a reason. We are not late nor are we behind. We are right on time.

Thank you for your thorough review of Intercessor by John Robert Still. Your description of the book’s blend of mystery, faith, and a touch of horror really piqued my interest. I appreciate how you highlighted the detailed character development and the immersive descriptions of New Orleans, which seem to play a significant role in the story’s atmosphere. The exploration of faith and the idea that our encounters with others serve a purpose adds a profound layer to the narrative. I’m also intrigued by how the author weaves Catholic themes and the apparitions of the Blessed Virgin Mary into the storyline, making it both educational and thought-provoking for readers with an open mind. It’s reassuring to hear that the book was exceptionally well edited. I’m curious about the surreal ending you mentioned—this sounds like a story that stays with you long after you’ve finished it. Your review has convinced me to add Intercessor to my reading list!

I found this book super entertaining. It can surely help anyone understand how faith works. However, what I love the most about it is its religious angle.

A captivating story with a hint of horror can be found in the love mystery book "Intercessor" by John Robert Still. The story follows Attorney Jim Hampton and his life what seemed to be tales and nightmares began manifesting.
life is only knowing the unknown, we can do this by reading books easily- Online book club is a great place for this. This is what I believe.

This sounds like I'm just the right person for this book. As the review says, that it has a hint of horror that the reviewer wanted to stop sometimes but the curiosity was intense enough not to do that, which is the exact feeling I seek in a mystery book. I personally love horror and mystery. And for me, the scarier the better. so I'm excited to explore what this book has to offer.

Through this book I have realized that different people truly perceive eminent threats or dangers, if you will, very differently. I can imagine that what Jim finds himself in is a true testimony of that. Having to sit there while trying to enjoy his beverage and also listen to what the other patriots have to say about what is that each of them think might have been the realest moment he has ever lived, being a lawyer.

The undertones of horror and/or thriller really give the book it's wings to fly. I love how the writer intensely grips the attention of the reader. That takes great writing skills.

The book is magnificent, it captivates you from the very first line in Chapter 1. I have had quite a time reading it.

Thank you for the review. I read the sample. A hurricane is brewing, and Jim, a lonely man from out of town, is in New Orleans visiting several bars and meets strange, unearthly women. Read on to see what happens! Congrats to the author for the #BOTD.

One thing that really grabbed my attention asides from the upcoming hurricane is finding a catholic woman working at a bar. This is so far from what the readers are used to getting. Congratulations on BOTD.

You have written a detailed review of the book and I like it. However, I really don't like horror books. I think I'll be skipping p this one.
