The First Case

Colt Investigations #1

by Marie Tayse

A teen who takes on the emotions of those around him. A child that sees visions of events to come. A loving, devoted father and husband who seems to become a totally different person overnight. An older brother who knows something is not quite right at home. An elderly neighbor that sees shadow figures in the windows of the house next door. A best friend who is convinced a demonic entity is responsible for nearly all of the events.

From the street no one can see the horrors unfolding inside. People driving and walking by are completely unaware of the pure evil lurking just beyond the porch.

Billy Colt doesn’t believe in the paranormal. While he accepts that some people have extraordinary abilities, any talk of the possibility that ghosts or demons may be responsible for the unexplanable events plaguing his family is totally absurd in his opinion. But when a horrific murder takes place, leaving even the local police at a loss, he is forced to rethink his beliefs. With the help of his brother and best friend, Billy begins an investigation of his own. What he eventually discovers will change his entire way of thinking and set the stage for what his life’s work will be.

Good and creepy!

The First Case by Marie Taste is how the Colt Investigations got started. It's a good, creepy story about a house that has an evil entity residing in it. The parent and several boys. A couple of boys have gifts such as premonitions and feeling empathy of others. I enjoyed this book. It was good and spooky but told more like a newspaper article.

A MUST READ

I couldn't put this book down once I started reading it! One of the most well written books I have read in a long time!

[Kim Wilch · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is well written and gripping. I had to go back to see if this was a true story! (It’s not). I realize it’s a ghost story but it’s very believable. I loved the characters though sometimes got frustrated at the lack of communication or why they brushed events off. There were no boring parts and always held my attention.

This was one of the worst audible/listen/read ever. I don't think I will vest any more time in the series.

I probably should have read it, verses listening to it.
