Publisher's summary

Miracles are happening. Pray to God they stop.

In the dead of winter, on a highway in Quebec, a man crashes his car and survives. In New York, a homeless person is run over by a bus and lives. In Tokyo, a teenager jumps off a high rise building and fails in taking her own life. All over the world, miracles like these transpire, and people breathe a sigh of relief.

But for the next week, some people will begin to suspect a terrible truth. A handful will even search for it. One man will find it.

And in seven days, all hell will break loose.

Note: Graphic violence and language.

Better that I thought

I absolutely adore the Mountain Man Series and am waiting for the next book. This book has the same features that I enjoy from previous Keith C. Blackmore books. Despicable, loveable characters, crass humor, violence, fast action and tears.

To address the reader, P.J. Ochlan. It's true that at the beginning of the book I was disappointed by the monotone. However, somewhere in the book I realized that he was great. Characters began having their own voices and personality.

Don't let any misgivings stop you from listening to this book. It is worth it!

awesome

I loved this book, Keith always knocks it out of the park. A lot of people bash this narrator. Hes kinda like Sean Runnette, he just takes a little time to grow on you. Dont miss out on an amazing book.

Poetic Personification

I have to say the narrator is inexperienced but the book is excellent. Push through it; it is a story worth knowing.

Good story but

I'm going to agree with the other guy why I the hell does the aurthor talk about balls dicks and assholes every other word. I don't mind a book with cussing but it seems like he's just adding cuss words for no reason.

Great Read

The best part about this book was the subject. I wasn’t sure about the first few chapters but then 1/4 of the way through when I began to understand what the author was trying to convey, it was GENIUS! Really enjoyed it. Did not however enjoy the narrator. While he did a great job with the character’s voices, his regular voice and how he read was annoying.

Great story

I loved this book. It was unique, imaginative and down right creepy as hell at times. Cons: some of the characters were just idiots. I found myself saying “oh, come on!” more than once after some dialog exchanges.
Pros: I never lost interest along the way & some of the descriptions of the horror that takes place in this book was deliciously gruesome and vivid. Definitely a fabulous scary story.

Much weirder than I thought.

This is a tough book to review. I tried to explain to a friend what the book was like. The best I could do was to say it’s like Steven King’s The Stand meets Pulp Fiction then gets punched in the face by Reservoir Dogs. I know that might not make any sense but take a listen and see what you can do.

This isn’t for the squeamish. It’s profane and violent but there are no guns.

The narrator started I but stiff but a few chapters in got rolling. Towards the end I felt he was doing a great job.

All thing considered I would recommend this book but not to everyone. If you like weird getting weirder this is for you, BUT you must hang in there for the whole ride. If you get halfway and quit.... well your loss.

What happens when Death goes on Strike???

I've read Breeds and Mountain Man so of coarse I was gonna read this one...
At first I thought it a little over the top with the beatings but it was about Hitmen doing their job. There is a part about a girl and self harm that was SO vivid one would think Blackmore has actually had these feelings it was so intense. BUT this book was also hysterically funny! Tony and Death are great together. I really enjoyed this book and will buy Blackmore's books anytime.
I thought PJ Ochlan was ok, he's not Sean Runnette (Breeds) or RC Bray (Mountain Man) BUT I thought he was good.

Very Good

Strong and interesting characters. Blackmore has a way with words. Nobody is better at describing fights or emotion. Hes the best at supernatural fiction!

FANTASTIC

What a book!!!!I if you can get past the violence of the first chapters, I highly recommend this book
