Becoming Faust

Volume #1

by J.R Sutton

Wealth, fame, sex. Three different words but all share the same meaning, power. Bastian James Faust possesses all three in abundance. The City of Sin never sleeps, nor do the wicked, and a well tailored suit is to women what lingerie is to men. Journalist Atiana Halifax is about to discover this first hand when she steps into the sinful world of the famed mogul.

Present day. A veil of darkness has slowly begun to shadow out the world, and the age old battle of good versus evil has moved to a new playing field, Earth. The savage and the exiled that were forced into hiding by the light have started to emerge once more with the blanket of never ending night, to reclaim the Earth that once was theirs. All appears bleak and lost until the fate of the world is heavily and unexpectedly placed into the hands of a ballsy Las Vegas journalist named Atiana Halifax. Atiana embarks upon a visual journey that leads her into the sultry world, and tormented past of one of the richest most powerful men alive, Bastian James Faust, in hopes of finding the answer of how to stop the impending darkness. Can Atiana save the human race from genocide before it's too late, and save herself from being drawn into the mysterious, and sensual allure that is Bastian James?

Along Atiana's dangerous journey, she is introduced to a collection of different characters and supernatural beings that expose her to a world, and culture long ignored, and unseen by the human race. Some are there to aid her in her quest, and others have been sent to stop her at any cost. As Atiana delves deeper into the methodical, provocative mind and life of Bastian James Faust, she soon discovers more than what she expected, sympathy for the Devil.

About the author

I created this series because I wanted to make something different, original, raw, and amazing. I feel like I have accomplished that. Not enough people can say they have created something amazing and put it out into the universe. I just want to create dope shit and tell cool stories that provoke some form of emotion in the people who read them. That, is who J.R Sutton is.

Sometimes I read a book with expectations in mind (a very bad habit) and sometimes these expectations are met (very bad for the writer). If I can predict how a book is going to end, I have no business reading it. It happens very often that I have read so many books by so many authors that I can predict what will happen. I did not have that problem with this one... I love that I was surprised and sometimes horrified by the plot. Definitely on the look out for the net book... The Flashbacks are a good way to show us how the characters got here without resorting to commentary. I love when characters get to tell their own story...

Really enjoyed reading it, The Hotel manager was my favorite character. She was pretty interesting. Soon as the next one comes out I'm reading that too!
