Mortal Eclipse is the first in the Nick Bellamy Thriller horror series written by David Brookover.
FBI agent Nick Bellamy and his cohorts, Crow and Neo, are looking for a serial killer that no one believes actually exists. He’s recovering from his wife’s murder at the hands of the killer as well as dealing with the realities of a comatose son, also courtesy of the killer. Nick, Crow, and Neo get help from the witches of magical Duneden, Ohio. Crow’s grandfather also tags along helping out with Native American magic.
Nick is pulled around by magic from one place to another. Often, he is being rescued from imminent demise. Neo has a really bad time in Duneden. The killer seems to be able to stay just one tantalizing step ahead of the searchers.
My favorite character in this story is Neo, poor guy. The characters seem just a little bigger than life. That’s OK for heroes. The evil is very evil. The witches are good. And, the other dimension is just out of reach. Yes, another dimension that the witches and the evil came from. Magic isn’t my thing, however, the book was interesting enough to keep me reading to the end. I recommend this book if you like magic and monsters.
