Entertaining story on a man named Nash rescuing a young woman named Nicki from being sacrificed to a mysterious Lovecraftian entity in a smalltown dominated by a religious cult with its leader named supreme. The showdown could have been a bit better with the mysterious entity. Also the ending wasn't what I've expected. Nicki's constant "Save me" went a bit monotonous over the pages. It was okay but nothing to get over excited though. The Wicker Man has more in store if you are looking for eerie cult stories. Some good ideas but the overall package could have been better and seemed a bit rough!

James Donaldson, Witching Hour
An Entertaining take on Cults
A doomsday setting, a blood cult, a damsel in distress. A hero who takes on an entire village in an endeavour to debunk the myth that holds the cult together. The elements of Donaldson’s Witching Hour are simple, but he adds some unexpected twists. The proverbial brawny henchmen add comic relief, but the protagonist, the hero, Nash knows how to fight. Nash’s thoughts sustain the plot in an entertaining read that will keep Donaldson's readers enthralled.

A really fun read. No question about who is the good guy and who is baaaad.
The end of the world, saving a beautiful young girl from human sacrifice, really, really weird people and a cult out for blood. Plus plenty of snark. What more could you ask for?
Loved this story!

What a great read! Kept me on the edge of my seat from the beginning to the end! I could not put the book down! The cult? The end of the world? A weird small town? Makes a great story!
