Minor Prophets

De: Jimmy Cajoleas

Narrado por: Matt Godfrey

After their mother's death, two siblings must navigate the strange world of the occult in this thrilling YA mystery

Lee has always seen visions: cats that his mother promises aren't really there, a homeless man who he's convinced is out to get him, and three men who give him ominous warnings in the woods. His mother and his sister Murphy try to keep him grounded in the real world. But when his mother dies in a car accident and her horrible husband tries to adopt them, Lee and Murphy flee to their grandmother's ranch, which they've only heard about in stories. But is there a reason why their mother never brought them there? And what horrid truths lurk behind Lee's haunting visions?

Thrilling, twisty, and poignant, Minor Prophets will keep listeners guessing until the final moments.

Minor Prophets Brought Minor Entertainment

I had a hard time categorizing this one. It's not really in the horror genre in my opinion or sci-fi, not fantasy. I guess a little religious-supernatural is about as close to a sub-genre one could get. It had great descriptions and writing throughout the novel. Cajoleas has a way of making his scenes heavy enough to touch and move through. My issue with the book were the characters in terms of their build up. The MC never really amounts to a whole lot in any direction he could go, which might attest to what happens throughout the novel. But he isn't very likable or envied or pitied either. Everyone else just kind of falls into a supportive role of that mid-range and I kept hoping for a push in one way or another. At the end you finally get it, then he rolls back down again... What can I say? Good effort.

So much fun

Sometimes you just need a book that takes you up, raptures you, and leaves you somewhere else for a while. Minor Prophets did that for me, and I think it will do that for you, too. What a ride!
