Masterpiece of Supernatural Fiction

The characters were engaging, storytelling masterful, and subject matter handles with the skill of an artist.

This is how the subject of Angel's and demons should be approached. This has a feel of a Dan Brown novel and Dante's inferno

Excellent

One of the best surprises I have found on Audible. The story is well written and I enjoyed all of the characters. I am also a huge fan of Christian Mythology so it was just right up my alley. I do hope that the author or audible will be releasing more of this what seems to be the beginning of an amazing series.
