The Making...
Living a life of poverty and headed for nowhere, Jeb Maruso, a.k.a. "The Solstice Slayer" chances upon a mysterious book that changes his life forever—one that promises him not only the secrets to self-transformation, but also the very secrets of the universe. The promises seem to hold true, as Jeb gains heightened intelligence and powers that motivate him to write a fantasy story, which rapidly becomes a #1 best-seller. While traveling abroad and enjoying his fame and fortune, however, he learns of a series of ritualistic murders in and around his hometown—and the killings mirror those committed by the villain in Jeb’s novel! As Jeb tries to track down the brutal killer, he unwittingly becomes his own worst enemy. The plot twists and turns until we find Jeb facing his biggest challenge yet: convincing his jurors, and his readers, that he is not the killer himself.
Through an astounding array of colorful characters and scenarios, both human and metaphysical, author J. Eric Booker takes his readers on a most thrilling ride. THE Making… is a spell-binding mystery of transforming proportions!

The Making is a page turner full of mysteries and suspense. It kept me wanting to know what was going to happen with every chapter. I feel the author captured some of Dean Koontz's suspense and Stephen Kings mysterious and unusual details. I am looking forward to reading Eric Bookers next novel.

THE MAKING... is an intriguing read from beginning to end. I am a practicing litigation attorney and I don't get a lot of time to read fiction books, but this was definitely a great use of my time. Naturally, my favorite chapter was Ch. XIV: THE FALL, as the trial was elaborate and carefully thought out. This book is a "must read." One day soon I hope to have the time to begin reading his Fantasy Trilogy.

Fantasy, magic, occult,, and religion will intrigue younger adults.
This book has an interesting twist to it, which entails self exploration through magic and religion. An ambitious piece of work.
