The One: Book Two of the Rebecca Mythos
It’s been thirteen years since the Tent Revival came to Salt Flat, Ky. The town has been devastated. Families have been torn apart and businesses closed. The place is only a former shell of itself.
Sy Sutton has moved on, even though the events of that night left a scar on his heart. He never saw his son, Allen, after the revival. The boy and his grandpa, Sage, fought the ancient evil of Rebecca, destroying her with the spirits they conjured up. Sy fears his boy is dead and he’ll never see him again. There is one shining light. He found his granddaughter, living under state care as a Jane Doe. Now her name is Nikki. Sy, along with his wife, Patty, have raised her, protecting her from the events all those years ago.
But soon the calm will be shattered. Rebecca and her generals weren’t defeated. They were only weakened. With the help of the Pendleton Corporation, she is hiding in a warehouse in Brooklyn, New York. She has a plan to return to Salt Flat and finish what she started. With the help of Samson, her closest general, she may accomplish it.
But unknown to her or anyone else, an obstacle may stand in Rebecca’s way. A force so strong, not even the oldest magic can stop it. The fulfillment of an ancient prophecy. The coming of The One.
Return to the town of Salt Flat for another ride into the magical and supernatural. Meet old friends and cringe, as creatures bent on destruction fly above the regular world and the common façade is not what it seems. This, the next book in the Rebecca Mythos, will have you mesmerized and turning page after page.

A gripping read that keeps you hooked. It's a great follow up from the first one. Does a great job in reminding you what happened without bogging the narrative down with minutiae. Rebecca is still trying to dominate the world by getting souls with her generals, but the family that stopped her before is still around with a powerful weapon, a small girl. The epic battle of good vs. evil, and it's all happening in a small town in Kentucky.
Highly recommended, again does a great job in building on the lore from the first book. It gives you more details without long, drawn out exposition dumps. I'm looking forward to where else the story will go.

This book was incredible, i was given the 1st for an honest review and loved it so much i had to rush and buy the next 2 in the series. I cant believe how amazing this story is and how much ive enjouyed reading it, i found myself adoring the characters and strange situations, I cannot wait to see what happens in the 3rd book as ive been completely blown away by the previous books. 5/5 would 100% recommend.

I really enjoyed this book. The characters were well developed and you got to know them a little better. The plot was riveting, but my favorite part was the twist. I really enjoyed learning more about the world of the book and I am excited to see how everything is going to unfold.

👏 read !!!! Great creep factor !!!
The One is the kind of book that doesn’t rush you. It lets the unease grow on its own. Edward Stone uses the setting to create tension rather than relying on constant action or shock value.
The story explores past events. Characters feel worn out by whats happened 13 years ago!
The uneasiness comes from what isn’t fully explained, which makes the story linger after you stop reading.
The pacing may feel slow to some, but the payoff is an atmosphere that feels heavy and intentional rather than accidental.
If you like creepy books ! This ones for you !

I really enjoyed this book, however I did like the first one better. This just seemed kinda redundant in a lot of ways. But still worth the read!
