Read This with the Lights On!
Trevor Black is a former New York lawyer, well known for his winning courtroom style. But after becoming a follower of Jesus, and shockingly having the ability to see–and even smell—demons, he is convinced there is an active dark side that is constantly attempting to hurt mortals. Trevor was disbarred, lost his lucrative law practice, and experienced lots of ridicule when he loudly proclaimed his beliefs.
Now, he finds himself being drawn into New Orleans where a number of girls have gone missing–especially from the creepy, abandoned grounds of the Six Flags amusement park. As he tries to uncover what has happened to these girls, he finds it is a disturbing mixture of voodoo, human trafficking and possibly, a government cover up. Before it is over, attempts will be made to stop him by use of false murder charges, committal to a mental hospital, and vicious attacks by demons. Some people claim to be on his side, but he is mysteriously warned that not everyone can be trusted.
While all of that is going on, he is attempting to get to know his recently discovered young, adult daughter. Unfortunately, she has no interest in Christian beliefs, and has lots of hostility towards him. Can he be successful developing a father-daughter relationship with her while, at the same time, being drawn into the confusing case in New Orleans?
This fast-paced novel is very hard to put down. Trevor’s adventures will keep the pages turning while he confronts some interesting characters. They range from a southern lawyer who is not reveling all his secrets, to a mysterious artist whose mother was deeply involved in the voodoo of New Orleans, and met an unnatural death. Hair raising accounts of demon encounters should give pause to any Christian who doesn’t take satan’s threats to mankind seriously. The author, a lawyer himself, has spun a well-written and exciting tale. I highly recommend this 5-star book to anyone who likes suspense, mysteries, or fights between good and evil.
