Looking at the cover for Behemoth by H P Newquist makes me think this will be a bumpy ride. Why don’t you join me?
MY REVIEW
A freak accident, a young girl, a mystery that Robert feels compelled to solve and he is drawn deeper and deeper into the evil that lives in Morris.
“Behemoth is God’s greatest creature.”
Robert Garrahan is one his way to his cabin and stops for gas. He meets a young girl, Abby. Each time he visits his cabin, he looks forward to stopping and saying hi to her…until one day she isn’t there. He can’t forget about her, so, regardless of all the road blocks he runs into, he looks for her.
What’s going on in Morris is more monstrous than he could ever have imagined.
Ethan – OMG – I hope the Behemoth gets YOU! I love to hate a character. LOL
They will do whatever is necessary to protect their secret.
Why is it young girls who are so often the target? Why not an old man, like the one ruling the town as if it’s a cult.
Robert’s road to answers is twisted and horrific. The town’s religious practices are secret and sacred. If this is religion, I want no part of it.
Behemoth gets steadily creepier and so much worse than I anticipated and I wonder who will survive. I am worried for some of the characters, and others…Dark, sinister, and I feel it’s going to be even worse than I thought, that man can sink even deeper into the pit of hell than I thought he would.
Behemoth by H P Newquist is very well written, filed with characters clearly defined, a monster who is truly terrifying and vengeful and suspense that kept me reading until the end.
I voluntarily reviewed a free copy of Behemoth by H P Newquist.
GOODREADS BLURB
A DEADLY ACCIDENT
After
losing three local boys to a devastating car crash in the upstate
village of Morris, New York, the neighboring town of Ashford suffers
even more tragedy over the next couple of weeks when several townspeople
mysteriously vanish in the middle of the night. Sensing that there’s a
rational explanation, however strange it may be, local reporter Robert
Garrahan decides to get to the bottom of the matter.
A DESPERATE FATHER
Initially,
he only digs up little more than small town gossip until a desperate
man tells Garrahan that his daughter will be the next to disappear. Amid
rambling stories of monsters and strange rituals, the father tries to
convince Garrahan that the town is rife with danger. When yet another
accident forces Garrahan to look into his wild claims, what he finds are
secrets beyond comprehension.
A BIBLICAL PROPHECY
The
extent of Morris’s horrific history are finally revealed. From
townspeople who abide the loss of a little girl to whispers of a
nightmarish creature lurking in the woods and, ultimately, to a dogmatic
priest who adheres to ancient rituals regarding the mythical Behemoth,
Garrahan realizes too late that he has been chosen as the next one to
disappear. Can he avoid his fate or is he doomed to be the latest
sacrifice?
