Recently at Big Lots I found this book tucked in the back of a display. I had never heard of the author but the book looked & sounded interesting enough to give it a try. I was pleasantly surprised.
Story (from back of book): Beautiful, sexy, inhuman. Jake McAllister knows that his brother Trey's new girlfriend is a bad influence, but he doesn't know what Myra's really after- Trey's soul. Trey is just one of her new playthings, a pawn in her centuries long game. One by one, Myra has seduced and enslaved the young men of the town. The women have joined her cult as eager priestesses, lured by promises of sex and power. But Myra's unholy plan is almost complete. Can one man hope to battle such seductive evil? Will he be able to resist the.... Soultaker.
My thoughts: This book is darker than what I usually read. Be forewarned that parts of this book are not for the squeamish. I was hooked by page 2. Myra is a naughty girl. Jake is battling his own demons with alcoholism and child hood issues. Trey was they only character I didn't really like. He seemed kind of wussy. This book was a fast roller coaster of a ride! I highly recommend. 4/5 stars. Bryan Smith is an author I will be watching out for.
