This book talks about themes of fate, redemption, and the enduring power of faith.

The exploration of Catholic faith and the role of the Virgin Mary within the narrative is a unique and potentially thought-provoking aspect.

'Official Review: Intercessor' by John Robert Still provides a thorough glimpse into the story's plot. It draws our attention to the essential elements of the horror story. This is a mystery tale about a lawyer Jim Hampton, who left behind his firm and stays in New Orleans. Readers will learn about Mary, the mother of Jesus, and the Catholic faith. The story's ending was unusual, with the dawn of a new understanding. It was great to learn that even if we are lost or have fallen off our path of faith, there is still a road to lead us back to God!

This a great review that makes me really want to read the book. I love the aspect of an impending doom and the mystery that entails.

Horror books don't interest me, so I will pass. But I like how you were able to stay hooked throughout the book! The religious themes, as well as the mention of Hurricane Katrina, are appreciated. Thanks for the review!

In this book, Jim Hampton, a Lawyer how was working on Louisiana disaster including chemical spill, having moved out of the firm, he is currently in New Orleans and is sleeping at George's House while George is abroad. In New Orleans something appeared strange. People were uneasy because they were still thinking about hurricane Katrina and thought a storm might be approaching. Them Jim made the decisión to grab additional beers at another establishment after leaving Carlos' bar. He accepted an invitación of Myriam to accompany her the following day to Terrebone Parish to visit her relatives. Meanwhile, two people in one night warned him to be cautious because of the enigmatic mood and impending peril.
This story contains horror and the ending was surreal. This book gives us hope, specially when you are lost or maybe have fallen off your path of faith.

Intriguing review. Seems like a well-written book. Sorry, not up my alley, though.

It seems Jim got into some trouble and ended up at a junkie's apartment. I wonder how this story can relate to the looming storm. It sounds like an interesting mystery story.

"Intercessor" follows lawyer Jim Hampton in New Orleans, where ominous warnings, mysterious encounters, and a brewing storm unveil supernatural forces. Amid disaster and despair, he discovers faith, hope, and purpose, with lives forever changed by divine interventions. Congrats BOTD!

Thank you for your informative review. I'm glad you liked it so much and the editing was so well done. I hope many others will read it, but I'm going to pass. I don't care for the horror genre and not interested in paranormal.

I am quite taken aback at how the reviewer instantly went on narrating the plot.. which looks really appealing for mystery/thriller enthusiast that happen to exclude me.

I do love though how this book shows how everything has a purpose - especially those that are difficult to understand at first.

Most times, instincts don't lie. I was expecting Attorney Jim Hampton to device ways of saving the people of New Orleans when he felt the looming danger.

I enjoy horror, so I'll probably like Intercessor by John Robert Still. I wonder if Erin has powers and whether Jim will be affected by her words. I'll check this book out.
