BOW DOWN TO THE NEWBORN SUN
Can a perverted sex magic ritual, performed in an ancient temple in the heart of modern London, destroy the very foundations of both Heaven and Earth?
London: March 2018. Pamela Auger has received an invitation to give a lecture at a prestigious private club regarding her arcane historical research into the mysteries of the Knights Templar. But as she is about to learn, when opportunity knocks, it is best to ask for ID before opening the door.
TRIGGER WARNING: This book contains scenes of rape, torture, and murder of people, including children, that any sane person will find disturbing.
Note: While several of the characters in this story have certain aspects based on known, powerful figures in the modern world, I make no claim that these people are involved in any nefarious deeds such as those depicted here, nor is it my intention to malign them. These characteristics were borrowed for artistic purposes only.

Whoa. And I've only read the samples so far. Buying this ASAP! (Sometime in early August)
And now...
Changing my mind a bit, but it's still up in the air.
I'm in the midst of chapter 15 right now so there's plenty of time to turn things around.
A tad repetitive and boring at times but I have faith it's going to get better.
After all she did complete an enormous amount of research for this book which I can't overlook especially since this is very obscure, hard to locate occulted information she's been digging up here and I'd been looking forward to reading this for some time now. Definitely not giving up!

Uhhhh what??? I finished this today and it was just too disgusting and confusing for me...a bit like life.

How even to begin describe this book. Shockingly (and I mean SHOCKINGLY) graphic, badly written, often boring and hard to read, and yet full of intriguing ideas about esoteric and occult topics.
If I were to be a paranoid (or even more paranoid than usual), I would say this is a kind of book that gets you killed by "Them". Lo and behold, the author is dead. What must have been her state of mind in last years, I cannot even imagine the dark places she went.

A superb read
Having read all the books of Dan Brown and others I can say that this book goes far beyond anything the reader can possibly imagine! Highly recommended reading!!!

The latter half of the book is basically torture porn interspersed with (a bit boring - maybe I don't have the background) lecturing on esoteric mythology. The author has a refreshing sense of humor. anything referring to both pizzagate and billionaires trying to open a portal to another dimension must receive at least 3 stars from me.

4 ⭐️. Very Da Vinci code themes. Really dives into dark mythology and weirdo elites. If you can get past the trigger warnings (which are described in GREAT detail) you will gain a deep knowledge on mythology, planets, cults, rituals, etc.

The book is quite surprising, to begin with.
When you start reading it, it reveals quite interesting information about ancient deities and rituals whose analysis is usually never so detailed in official academic sources.
It also reveals some curious information about more or less hidden places and stories of London. Thanks to this book, I learned about the existence of the livery companies in the City of London.
Until about halfway through the book, the plot and the information of the occult certainly hooks you, keeps you in suspense and wanting more. The interesting thing is that although the book is obviously fiction, it gives clues, data and details of things that allegedly have happened or may happen in the real world, and that makes the book much more enjoyable.
The problem I think, is when magical fantasy realism starts to permeate every page.
Spoiler: It's one thing to describe magical rituals undertaken by the elites with which they disrupt the reality of the world for their benefit, and it's another thing to make those rituals into an incredible and wildly exaggerated hyperbole in which two suns appear in the sky. There, for my taste, the book loses interest.
Perhaps without the hyperbole, with more credible rituals, the book would have been more relevant.
However, I send my respects to the author, who unfortunately passed away in very mysterious and questionable circumstances, for facing these occult themes with tenacity.

This is one of the most disturbing books I've ever read, and could be compared to an occult snuff film. But it is no ordinary horror novel. As crazy and unbelievable as it may seem, I think this book is a whistleblower account based on real events, and I believe it may be connected to Pizzagate, and the Epstein, and Diddy cases.
One of the most interesting takeaways though was learning that the book 120 Days of Sodom, written by Marques de Sade, which I haven't read, but has a reputation as being the most disturbing book ever written, may also have been a whistleblower account of what the aristocracy of the time was engaging in, and that it wasn't just about sadomasochistic perversion for perversion's sake, but was part of an occult secret society, that goes by many names, but falls under the umbrella term of "the illuminati", engaging in such activities specifically for the purpose of summoning demons and gaining personal power.

Finally started reading this...so far it's as I thought it would be. Tracy needs an editor. She goes to great lengths to dump way too much information and forgets she's writing a fiction novel. So far the author is using the novel to convince the reader of her knowledge or pseudo - knowledge and using it as a forum to attack scholarship and the scientific method...
6/26 - So, I was about to stop reading this...But after having learned of Tracy's early and surprising passing earlier this month, I've decided to read it and not to allow the annoyances to curtail my finishing it. A full review forthcoming...
6/27 - This is unreadable. Interesting points of diversion become tangents that seem to have no point other than to show how the author makes incredible leaps of logic. The narration is like reading someone's boring daily diary entries....I don't need to know every detail of how the author opened email or caught a cab...this book is an example of why not everyone is a fiction writer. It's a skill. Tracy may have been ok with writing what she considered 'non-fiction' but my advice would be to skip this piece if you're a fan of Ms. Twyman.

This book is for a select group of people interested in the darker side of mythology and religious cults who are okay with some of the practices being described in graphic detail no matter how much. I have never had my sensibilities assaulted so much before since I don't really tread the types of paths that she went in the story but I couldn't stop turning the pages to see what was next. Pretty much what others have said and they are all on point. If you can power through the gravely disturbing content and are interested in reading a Davinci-code type page turner that elaborately details the potential goings-on of these largely unknown mystery cults, then you will love it. Or maybe you'll hate it still. It's a thrilling ride with a steep, deep, dark, descent.

I don´t usually write negative reviews but this book deserves one.
Really badly written, I really believe if this was submitted to an editor, they would
redline at least one thing in each sentence.
Action scenes are stopped in the middle for ramblings about occult history, and their connection to the story are never explained.

“You know we’re following the trail of some weird occultists who conjure demons, fuck kids, murder people and chop them up. Didn’t you even think for a minute that there might be cum in the pizza before you started putting it in your mouth?”
Comedy Gold.

Strangest book I've ever read. Not sure how to rate this as at times I was filled with revulsion, but spurred on the find resolution of the story.
