Reviews

[Stephen Tremp · Rating 4 out of 5]

There are many stories that are entertaining, but few reach the heart of the reader and asks the question, would I give my life to help total strangers who may not appreciate my gift to the them.

Author Marvin Wilson delivers in his latest novel, Beware The Devil's Hug, that is reminiscent of a style similar to Mark Twain set in the 21st century. The protagonist, Iam, is sent from another dimension to help people who are blinded from living a life they were robbed of while attempting to thwart a plot to kill hundreds of people at a rally in Detroit, Michigan.

Iam can see inside people. He understands when a man is not what he seems, not at all what people believe of him or her. He can sense maniacal egotism, narcissism, greed, lust for power, and egregious intent lurking in the heart of man just as easily as a sweet and innocent soul.

Suspense, intrigue, greed, betrayals and more fill the pages with a diverse cast of Christian, Muslim, and Buddhist, and racial diversity. Beware The Devil's Hug is a story based on faith, trust, and forgiveness. To quote one of the characters, "It's wonderful to have friends, to know for real people in your life who take the time to care about you."
