It's been eight years since a wildfire consumed the town of Heaven's Peak. Jennifer Miller, now sixteen, remembers nothing of the tragedies she endured as a child. That’s until memories begin surfacing in her dreams, echoes from her past growing louder each night.
Desperate for answers and haunted by nightmares, Jennifer returns to the now-desolate town of Heaven’s Peak.
But rumors speak of strange sightings, mysterious disappearances, and creatures that lurk in the dark.
Are the legends surrounding the ghost town true? The deeper she digs, the more Jennifer uncovers a truth buried beneath the town, about what happened, and about herself.
She thought the nightmare ended eight years ago.
She was wrong.
Devil’s Pit is the direct sequel to Heaven’s Peak. Dive deeper into the heart of the cursed town in a frantic search for answers. Although some mysteries might be best left unsolved.
Devil's Pit by Miguel Estrada This was a pretty good horror book. It didn't have constant terror or suspense. It was subtle and creeped up on the reader. This would be good for the folks who don't want anything too scary but still want to be a little scared. My niece is like that so I am going to recommend this book to her.
“Responsibility for what?” “Remember what the old woman in the church said? Some stayed behind to make sure what happened the night of the fire never happened again.”
Takes place eight years after book one.
Jennifer Miller is now 16. Norman James, the former FBI agent, adopted Jen and raised her as his own after…everything.
Jen’s friend group: Best friend is Alice (16); her boyfriend is Max. Dylan (12) is Alice’s younger brother. Joe Davis is short…and crushing on Jen 🙊
Jen doesn’t remember any of the horrific events, but she has become increasingly afflicted by disturbing nightmares.
Road trip back to Heaven’s Peak, Pennsylvania.
The church. Miss Ashworth, the priestess.
The crucifix with branches—they see it everywhere now. Even tattoos 👀
“We are the protectors of humanity. The only thing that separates us from the forces of evil is our conviction, our faith, and the lengths we’re willing to go to keep the Devil’s influence out of this world.”
The town is weird…to say the least. But it doesn’t hit the fan until the attack at the hotel…
Hostile police. The house in the woods. The sewers.
Strong tension. The monsters are back 😱
Good realism with the teenagers. Does an excellent job fleshing out our five young heroes. All of them learning about themselves—and each other—while confronting mortal danger.
Separation—and separate encounters…
Now this is how you do horror. 👏🏻 More psychological than gory this time around.
The cult. The tunnel below the church.
Molotov cocktail. Church bell.
Joe and Jen 🥰 finally 🙌🏻
Great ending. 😊 👀
“They’re like a family. I’ve spent so much time focused on the family I lost that I never stopped to think that, even if things are different now, I have a new one.”
It was alright, if you are looking for someone writing a descriptive synopsis of a silent hill game. Right down to finding convenient maps, documents and creature descriptions.
I wasn't surprised to find that Silent Hill downpour has a music track by the same name. The book is "heavily inspired".
