Enlightenment

Demon Blood #1

by Tim Meyer

Hell is rising...

Several years after his wife's death, Danny Samson struggles to live on. He wastes his days playing poker, working as a short-order cook, being a sarcastic loudmouth, and hunting demons that escape from the deepest depths of the underworld.

Things aren't great. But they could be worse. He could be dead. He could be in Hell.

After her husband's mysterious suicide, Andrea McCloud seeks out Danny, hoping he can clarify the murky details and bring her solace. Together, they embark on a journey that leads them down troubled paths, where danger and demonic activity lurks around every corner. With the help of two young brothers, Danny and Andrea try to stop the denizens of Hell before they tear down God's most precious kingdom. Before they bring about the apocalypse.

Between Heaven and Hell... Stands Humanity.

AMAZINGLY DISTURBING...A MUST READ!!!

Once in a while you'll find a book so disturbing, that you just need to put it down and try to forget about it. On rare occasions, something tells you to continue. Those brave enough to do so, will reap the rewards (and perhaps a few nightmares) of an epic story that stays with you forever.

I don't scare easily, especially from things that aren't realistic. What truly frightens me are stories that aren't necessarily so far fetch. Demons exist...there goal is for humanity to suffer and turn our backs to the almighty one. Similar to films such as The Exorcist, The Conjuring, etc. Demons Blood had me pause, wait a few seconds. Turn a light on and continue with this haunting story.

This book, yet only fiction also has some truth to it. Its not trying to push religion at you. It's a story of Good vs Evil. Those in the light who struggle to survive a world that's more darker than ever. The end is near, and demons crueler than Mr.Giggles are coming for us...

I've grown to be such a huge fan of anything Tim does, and Enlightenment: Demon Blood Book 1 was no different. The book follows Danny Samson and Andrea McCloud, who find each other in the midst of their own chaotic battles in life. Together, they team up to battle a slew of demons and beasties in a gnarly war of heaven and hell, good vs evil. The characters are excellent and the plot that unfolds with the treacherous GallAnt is pure fun. Strong recommend from me and I'm excited to tackle books two and three!

Demon Blood:Enlightenment was an enjoyable novel with lots of tension and fun. This is a first novel and there are so minor typos and I had minor issues with some of the descriptions but these are minor issues. The author created interesting characters that I was invested in. There is a good about of backstory which I felt was necessary and was neither too much or too little. There was a lot of tension through the book and the book moved along quickly. Once all of the character threads came together there was a lot of fun action and gore. A second book has been published and I am excited to continue the story. Overall this was a fun and tense first novel that I enjoyed. It is recommended.

I enjoyed it and it was original. That said, it needed a copy editor. Incite for insight and other homophones.

Great read

This was a well written book with more than a few typos or missing words, I chose to ignore them because I was so interested in what would happen next.

I received this book for free via the First Reads Giveaway. The characters were very thorough and their stories tied together great. The ending kind of left you wondering and I hope that this book will have a sequel.
Overall, it took some patience to read through the back stories with little happening, but once you progress through, it becomes apparent why it mattered. I would definitely give this book a chance if you had any interest in horror- style, apocalypse books.

I really enjoyed this book. Right from the first paragraph, it was action-packed and scary. I liked the twists and turns, how unrelated characters came together, and secrets were revealed throughout the entire book.

I finished the book in only a few shorts days because as soon as the "ending" started---there was no putting the book down after that.

I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who enjoys horror.
