Review--Evil Runs by Vince Milam

Evil Runs: A Supernatural Mystery Thriller by Vince Milam
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A French priest, a Texas sheriff, and a female CIA agent walk into a bar looking for Evil.  Sounds like the start of a corny joke, but it's not.  Evil Runs by Vince Milam is a religious thriller that takes these three on a trip around the world to destroy the evil that has disrupted their lives.

Still grieving the loss of his wife, Sheriff Cole Garza is now dealing with multiple homicides at a nursing home in his small Texas town.  Leaving the scene, he sees a most peculiar man who appears to be running away from another man with a long gray ponytail who is just as peculiar.  Looking into the eyes of the murder suspect, Cole sees something familiar, something he saw in the eyes of his wife's murderer.  When Father Francois Domaine appears in Texas with orders from the Vatican, things begin to really get strange.  They have a suspect in custody and are currently looking for his accomplice, Adal Moloch.  He was the peculiar man seen leaving the crime scene, and the hunt is on.  With the help of Nadine May, a CIA operative with unbelievable tracking and computer skills, they are able to follow Moloch wherever he goes.  Will they find him and bring him to justice before more people are hurt?

This is a book for those who believe in a higher power, or for those that don't, you just might after reading this book.  Adal Moloch is not your typical suspect. He is a demon sent to have his evil bidding done by anyone who is willing to follow him.  Destroying him is going to take more than a bullet to the head, but also a faith that God is stronger than him with that faith you can destroy anything.  We always wonder if faith is enough.  Can our faith in God destroy the evil that is around us?  Can we rise above the evil and do what is right?  At first, I was a little skeptical about this book thinking it was going to get a bit paranormal, but it didn't which made me thoroughly enjoy it.  This is the first book i a series and I can't wait to read what is next.

Review--The Demeter Code by Russell Brooks

The Demeter Code by Russell Brooks
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

3.5 stars

**I received a copy of this book from the author in exchange for my honest review.**

Ridley Fox and Dr. Nita Parris are two of the CIAs best operatives.  They travel the world eliminating the bad guys.  When they are given an assignment that doesn't turn out as planned, their whole world is turned inside out and upside down.  Then the mission gets changed and Fox and Parris are sent in different directions.  This book has enough twists and turns to give you whiplash.

After reading the description of this book, I was very excited to read it.  I love a good thriller and this one did not disappoint.  The Demeter Code captured me from page one.  The first scene is set in Washington DC and when books are set close to home, I always am intrigued.  The book had a really great start and lots of action to keep my attention.  A little over half way through it started to slow down a bit for me.  It got more technical and I found myself reading the words without actually absorbing what it was I was reading.  That happened a couple of times which made me drop my rating from 4 to 3.5 stars.  This is the third book in the series, the first two being Pandora's Succession and Unsavory Delicacies.  I will be going back to read these books as well as his standalone Chill Run and I look forward to whatever he has coming in the future.
