It’s hard enough being a demon hunter, but what do you do when there’s a demon inside you and, not just that, it’s keeping you alive? Mike Travis has such a dilemma, on top of which, his family life is in chaos; his wife, Beth, is lost in her own world following emotional and spiritual trauma, and his daughter has fled to Avalon and safety. He’s glad when a phone call from an old friend takes him to a Welsh village near the Wales/England border. The village is steeped in ‘traditions’ that were keeping an ancient evil at bay – traditions that go back to an iron-age sacrifice that was made to create a pact with a demon. It is Midwinter and the pact has been broken, leaving the demon Mazziqin free to claim her victims. Midwinter – the Winter Solstice – is a time of death and renewal, of offering and sacrifice. It is a time of dying. Mike must work with his friend and fellow hunter, Ben Lovecraft, to free this community from Mazziqin and her lover – Lucifer – before Midwinter’s Night.
Yep, there all back and as ever fighting demons in their on inimitable way. As ever, Jan draws you into the story from the first page, then you just can't put it down. Believe me when I say, this ones a really Christmas Cracker, taking up from where the last story ended. Why oh why has nobody made these books into movies, (or at least a few T.V. movies) the stories are brilliant, likewise the characters and everyone loves a good fight between good and evil, so what's stopping it happening? As ever Jan's story gets ten out of ten from me. Totally recommended so enjoy.
Brilliant as are the others in the Mike Travis series a great read.
I loved the book read it within a day. I would recommend this book to all who believe that there is more in heaven and earth than is dreamt if in mans philosophy.
This book won't disappoint any Jan McDonald fans, the only issue I have is that she can't write them fast enough! Looking forward to the next adventure.
