Dylan Foster hears a something at her door. When she opens it, a bloody ax falls into her entry way and takes her on a dangerous journey of spiritual warfare. After the police decide she’s not guilty of murder, her curiosity leads her to investigate further. This time, curiosity doesn’t kill the cat, but there are some rats that shouldn’t be so lucky… As Dylan discovers a sinister group of angel worshipers and their connection to a murdered woman, danger soon follows. Peter Terry has returned, the frighteningly pale man with the slash on his back who haunts her dreams, sends vermin to soil her home, delighting in all things evil, but she knows it’s no coincidence. From the cover art alone, the reader knows this book is going to be chilling. In fact, I had to turn it face down after I was through reading for the night. And then I had to make sure the closet door was closed, the front door was locked and all my children were tucked in safely. Nope. No Peter Terry hiding under my bed! Although it’s suspenseful, this is not a horror novel by any means. The Soul Hunter has moments of chick-lit humor, creepiness and mystery that will keep the pages turning. Don’t be afraid to read this book! I’m just a scaredy cat. While definitely a book with spiritual connotations, I can’t imagine a non-believer would be put off. The characters faith is written about in a comfortable, conversational manner. As Dylan is given, yet again, the opportunity to fight a battle of spiritual warfare, she is well equipped although remains a tad bit hesitant. And who could blame her? In the first book in the series, When the Day of Evil Comes, Dylan finds all the strength she needs in the Bible. This time she knows what she’s up against as she puts on her armor in a fight against evil. Even with all she’s witnessed, Dylan sometimes has doubts and she inspires us to remain on a first name basis with God and keep building that relationship. This series of Christian supernatural thrillers is a credit to its genre and I hope it paves the way for more offerings from a talented author. Melanie Wells, that means you! I’ve enjoyed Frank Peretti and Ted Dekker, but there is plenty of room for more female protagonists like Dylan Foster. She’s a genuine, realistic character easy to relate to with her sense of humor and human foibles as well as her triumphs.
