My Review
Absolutely honoured to be closing out what has been a fantastic Blog Tour for John Everson's Fantastic new novel "The Devils Equinox".
So this was my first step in to horror/erotic style fiction and wow! some of the level of sexual acts and BDSM would actually make the real devil blush I am sure! ha!
This Book is Not Safe for Work! but if your looking for an escape this suspenseful read ticks the boxes between thrilling and chilling!
This tale mixing witchcraft, horror and suburbia is an interesting one and that kept me reading just that little bit more of what turned in to a real page turner!
The characters are very well developed though Austin the main male character really had not one redeeming feature in the first half of the story and I honestly wanted to grab him and shake him to make him realise what Regina was and was doing!
But surprisingly it was Regina herself as character that kept me hooked, she does some horrendous things but I found myself reading late to find out what horrors she had in store.
On the other hand, we have Regina who is very much alive and she is what she is with no distractions or excuses. She is the meat in the story and that keeps things interesting. Her character and although she does despicable things, I personally was drawn more to her character and if it wasn’t for the child scenario that played out, I probably would be championing her more.
Overall, this is an interesting read with twist and turns galore. The finale and the setting of Club Equinox left a few questions unanswered and I hope that means the author might take us back to this setting in future books.
This as I said before was my first read in the horror/erotic genre and i did enjoy dipping my reading toes in to it! I would recommend this to readers who like this genre or others that are looking for an engaging and thrilling tale that may be different to what they have tried before! like me prepare to be surprised!
