Genre: Occult
ESP
Description:
A rebellious “angel” and a murderous priest join forces to bring down “gods”
stealing souls from Earth and selling them on slave markets in another
dimension, presumably of the multiverse.
Author:
As the daughter of a British soldier
and his Dutch wife Monique Singleton toured the world where she was exposed to the
cultures of many countries. She settled in the Netherlands where she pursues a
full-time career as a business consultant. Her series of books mix fantasy with
“psychological suspense.”
Appraisal:
The Devil
You Know launches at
MACH speed. By the time I paused for breath, I was well into chapter two and
facing that terrifying question: “What’s it all about?” Religion’s false
promise? Free will? If free will is such a big deal, why is absolute obeisance
demanded by major religions? What’s this about religious adherents’ slavery? Religious
hierarchy behaving as gods? The novel might not have the philosophical rigor
of, say, Friedrich Nietzsche’s Beyond Good and Evil, but it touches on
many of the same questions and is massively more fun.
