The Eighth Seal
Having escaped from Shadborne, June and John take refuge in a derelict chapel deep in the forest. With only Eloise for company, they decide to wait overnight and hope for a miracle, but they soon start to worry that this particular chapel might be hiding some dark secrets.
With John trapped in his bear form and Eloise gravely injured, June starts to explore the chapel. A mysterious blood-stained mirror stands to one side of the burned altar, and strange whispers in the darkness hint at a mysterious presence. And when Eloise wakes up and hears the same whispers, a terrifying mistake calls forth one of the most powerful evil forces in all of reality.
Meanwhile, the deadly Sister Dolorosa is still pursuing June, tracking her through the night and slowly homing in on her position. After a lifetime of pain, Sister Dolorosa has lost all hope of release. When she reaches the chapel, however, she discovers that there might yet be a way for her to make amends for her dark past.
The Eighth Seal is the eighth book in the Chronicles of Sister June series. Readers are advised to start with the first book.

I'm so happy to see that sure takes constructive criticism to heart and actually uses it to improve her writing! I had been pointing out how often she would leave dialogue unfinished, using the phrase "before she or he could finish" instead of completing what the character had to say. This phrase was used so often that it got to be noticeable when reading. Once it became noticeable, it got to be something I looked for and counted in every book, making reading them not very enjoyable.
But in THIS BOOK she's corrected that and I've found her writing has improved 1,000% because of it! GOOD JOB!
I really enjoyed this book and found the writing better than any of her others and was happy to see her bring back Gretchen, the laundry woman, from her previous book. I really liked that character and hope to see more cameo appearances of her as well as the man at the edge of the forest.
Hopefully John will be back to human form, or at least have a way to communicate, in the next part of this saga!

Dark, intense, and impossible to put down
The Eighth Seal cuts straight to the nightmare. The stakes are massive, the atmosphere is deliciously bleak and creepy, and the character dynamics remain the beating heart of the series. The First Order feels more formidable and malevolent than ever, and watching Sister June, John and Eloise fight through exhaustion, terror, and supernatural torment keeps you on the edge of your seat. The lore expansions are fascinating, the pacing is blisteringly fast, and the dread builds steadily toward an explosive climax.

What a ride
Total intense. This story is a rollercoaster and has you doing so many twists and turns. About the time you think you have it figured out, something else pops up. Then you find out it is to be continued.
