The book is a page-turner, but definitely not for the faint of heart. SORROW’S POINT was probably one of the most terrifying books I’ve ever read. Titles Praise for the Works of Danielle DeVor Named Examiner’s 2014 Women in Horror: 93 Horror Authors You Need to Read Right Now I received a copy of this novel from the publishers via Netgalley for free in exchange for an honest review. I don't want to give any spoilers but the ending which is bitter sweet leaves it open to more adventures and self discovery for Jimmy Holiday. The conclusion was well done considering that this is (yay!) the first in a prospective series. The suspense was drawn out very artfully. What he finds will challenge his notion of good and evil but he will also find out some truths about himself as well. Jimmy Holiday who is a defrocked ex-priest is asked for help by an old friend whose young daughter appears to be possessed but no one will help including the Catholic Church.

It is definitely a multi-faceted novel which is definitely a bonus. Everyone has their strengths but also weak areas that make them all too human which helps them to be easier to relate to. Not only does 'Sorrow's Point' have that sense of underlying dread but it also manages to make you care about the main characters in the novel. I remember reading (and seeing) 'The Exorcist' a long time ago and since then have read many novels that tried to attain the same degree of horror and fear. My favorite kind of novel is horror in particular themes that have to do with possession. McCammon, Willow Rose, and Joe Hill, you’ll love this ghostly dark fantasy filled with enough occult and supernatural to scratch that horror itch! “DeVor delivers a terrifying story of demonic possession and the valiant fight to save the child that will have you turning on all the lights in your house and jumping at the slightest sound.”-Sci-Fi & Scary Read more
