Thunder, Texas is a sleepy town, hidden away from the increasingly modernized world. But it has its secrets. Secrets born of the devil himself. Now, Maggie Walts and Steve Penton are pulled to Thunder after a bizarre accident leaves Maggie’s mother dead. Soon, Maggie discovers that her parents have done something they’ve awoken Satan once more; and this time, he will use his army of inanimate objects to get what he wants most. Maggie and Steve will have to fight Lucifer with the only weapon they the love God gave them.
This is a creepy page-turner. Pol McShane’s dark well-written novel centers on a loving couple, Maggie Walts and Steve Penton, who go to Thunder, Texas, after the brutal death of Maggie’s mother. They discover the citizens of this small town, including her parents, are hiding a horrific ancient secret that very much includes Maggie and Steve and Maggie’s newly-learned pregnancy. No spoilers but a warning: readers will find when they look up from the novel at the objects around them that they recall the opening words – “Don’t touch anything!” Recommended.
