Not For Kids

I was off sick for a week with the flu. And though I was sick, I was tired of laying around, so I had The Devil's Kiss. Picked it up and within three pages. I knew this was going to be a different read. Trust me from word go this book comes out with pages so hot they should burst into flames while turning them. If you know debauchery then this will even school you, everything from pure evil to a misguided redneck on the side of good. It made me squeamish to read some of the pages. Yet it was so shocking I could not put it down. When I though it was at the peak and the story would work to it's final end. All Hell Breaks Loose. Around page 300 at 3:00 A.M. Out of no where thunder shook my house. Lightening struck behind out home. We had an awful thunderstorm, high winds, heavy rains, and a constant barrage of thunder till around 6:00 AM. I was so spooked, I felt as though from the evil pouring off those pages it was being created outside my room. Needless to say I finished the book, with a quivering soul, a sick feeling in my stomach, and a sense of having been beat with a rod from the Old Testament. This book has it all, witches, vampires, werewolves, demons, zombies. It is so graphic I suggest you have nothing around you that looks like meat. This book is not for children. The sex sequences are numerous and very detailed. From incest to homosexual, and bestial acts while the people of this town are overtaken by the power of hell. This is the first book in a series that tends to repeat it's storyline, but the author has such a vivid imagination for serving up a never ending descent into a hell that is enough to scare any person to the altar at a true church.

Not for the faint of heart!

Wow! I am not a Christian but this was one hell of a book, no pun intended, concerning good and bad...God and the Devil and a persons will to do what they think is right. This book is blunt but depending on who is reading it can be looked at in many ways, I say this as a non-Christian person...and before you wonder, I am NOT a Satanist either. William Johnstone is VERY blunt in his writing, not something I am very fond of. He really leaves no room for YOUR imagination because he spells everything out for you plain as day. You can be sure to see EVERY detail in this book, and considering some of the events, I'm not sure if that is good or bad. Because of the graphic nature of this book I was unsure if I wanted to pick up the next one...of course I did. I'm not going to recommend this book...nor am I going to tell you NOT to read it. That will be a decision you have to make on your own based on reviews. I will warn you though, I can't stress the graphicness of this book enough, and it may just be the content that makes me say this.

Run, don't walk to church

After reading this book the only thought that came to mind was-Run to church now! Mr. Johnstone has set up a story about the age old battle between good and evil, and it does not disappoint! It makes you think about the way you treat your neighbor, co-workers, and that old person who always stops you to talk, it might not make a difference now but someday it will. It is a fast paced enjoyable story that will leave you wanting to find the next book to find out what happens (I'm reading it now!)

GREAT BOOK, FANTASTIC, READ THEM ALL

I READ ALL OF THE DEVILS SERIES AND REALLY ENJOY THEM ALL I ALSO READ THE NURSERY FOUND THIS VERY INTERESTING I WISH ICOULD FIND THEM ALL IN PRINT BECAUSE IT TELLS A LOT ABOUT HOW THINGS ARE HAPPENING IN TODAY WORLD THE DEVILS IS BUSY BUT GOD IS ALWAYS STANDING BY

THIS BOOK MAKES YOU CHECK UNDER THE BED!

I did not read this book untill after reading the 4th book THE DEVIL'S CAT. i preaty much just came across that book and after reading it i had to get the first one. This book kept me on the edge and made me believe that not only God does exsit but Satan also. I am not a very religous person but this book does make you think how much Satan does affect our lives everyday. I really wish someone would make a movie from this book. if done right it would be a blockbuster. I encouage you to read the three other books after this one. you would not be dissapointted. So keep the lights on, get under the covers, and keep a bible next to you.
