Title: The Devil's Apprentice
Author: M.J. Moeller
Number of pages: 302
Genre: horror, mystery
Book Number/Goal: 20/52
My Rating: 3/5
Review:
A businesswoman is preparing to sell her family estate, a medieval church in a small English village, to a client who wants to convert it into a personal residence. When she arrives to the village to finalize the contract, all the hell breaks loose. She's plagued by nightmares and visions, and she's not the only one. A mysterious apparition may be a warning against selling the church, and a serial killer seems to be on the loose.
It's basically a modern gothic novel. The premise is promising, but the story falls short of excitement. There's mystery and suspense all right, but somehow, it all feels a little artificial, and the characters aren't all that interesting. It's also funny how the MC forgets important clues or postpones important investigations for later.
