The Beguiler

by Jo Michaels

It’s one year until the apocalypse of 12.21.12 is supposed to take place. Burning buildings, screaming babies, and death will surround us. It will be the end of the world. That can’t be allowed. When six powerful women come together with one goal—to save humanity—they’ll get much more than they bargained for. They join forces and learn to use the gifts hidden within themselves to battle a monster feeding off something too many of us feel in our Hate. But they must first learn how to forgive—themselves as well as others. Hate is birthing a creature dwelling under Central Park in New York, and the fiend is eager to burst forth and sink his fangs into the Earth. The Fury, The Visionary, The Beguiler, The Siren, The Prophet, and The Mystic are our last hope, and even they aren’t sure if they can win. The end is coming, but with it, there may be a new beginning.

About the author

Jo Michaels loves writing novels that make readers gasp in horror, surprise, and disbelief. While her browser search history has probably landed her on a list somewhere, she still dives into every plot with gusto, hoping "the man" will realize she's a writer and not a psychopath about to go on a rampage. Her favorite pastimes are reading, watching Investigation Discovery, and helping other authors realize their true potential through mentoring. She's penned the award-winning Pen Pals and Serial Killers series and the best-selling educational book for children, Writing Prompts for Kids, which has rocketed the kids that use it into several awards of their own.

Most of Jo's books feature the places she's lived: Louisiana, Tennessee, and Georgia. That's given her a special amount of insight to what makes those locations tick. Her works are immersive and twisty, and she wouldn't want it any other way.

Another cracking instalment in an adventure I just don’t want to put down. I read Book 3 in record time, for me. The straight forward story telling was perfect for Sheila’s story, it was hard hitting with triggers in there but dealt with in a way that left you feeling lighter rather than in the dark. The progression of all the girls learning their powers and forging ahead on the path destiny laid out is great.

Each story gets me more and more hooked! Bring on Siren.

I think The Beguiler is my favorite so far in The Hate Apocalypse series! I’m honestly a little obsessed with these books to begin with, but there was just something so compelling about this story in particular.

Shelia is by far my favorite character of the six so far. I love the progression from book one and I am really looking forward to the rest of this series.

Jo Michaels delivers books that have everything from interesting and intricate plots to intriguing and relatable characters. I just love her writing style, and I keep becoming more of a fan with every book I read by her.

The Beguiler is book 3 in the Hate Apocalypse Series, make sure you grab the first two so you can be all caught up. Sheila is so far my favorite of the six. I love the progress each girl is making and how much they are growing, to trust themselves and each other. I'm excited to see how it all plays out.
