5.0 out of 5 stars Sluagh: Demon of the Night by Darrell Case
Sluagh: Demon of the Night by Darrell Case is a book that grabs you on page one and does not let go until you reach the last page. When Max Furman was a child he was abused by his mother, often telling him that she should have killed him when he was an infant. His heart turns to stone and one day when he is fourteen he kills his baby sister which is his first kill. When Max becomes an adult he becomes a serial killer of young boys between the ages of four and seven and goes undetected for eighteen years. Max has always hidden the bodies where they will never be found but he longs for recognition so he starts to display the bodies of the murdered boys. The FBI starts working the case and the media calls Max the Ghost. Max needs a place to hide so he forges a resume and becomes the pastor of a church. Andrew and Antoine were angels created at the same time and were close friends. When the rebellion came, Andrew stayed loyal to God but Antoine became one of Satan’s demons and Max’s personal demon.
Wow, what an imagination this author possesses which allows him to write such a great story. I read the book in one sitting except for the time I took to attend Sunday night church. I just could not put the book down until I knew what was going to happen and how the story would end. I think this may be the most suspenseful book that I have ever read. The author did an excellent job with every element of the story. The plot had some twists which added to the mystery of the story. Max was so well developed that the reader could see his psychotic character and at the same time see the spiritual warfare that was going on in the story. All the characters in the story came to life and some I truly liked and some I really hated. All the action scenes were so vividly written that I could almost imagine myself right in the middle of the action. Although the story is about a serial killer who murders very young boys, the author balanced the story by writing how God and his angels worked to overcome the evil and to bring about justice.
I highly recommend this book to everyone that likes a very suspenseful Christian story filled with angels and demons and that keeps you on the edge of your seat and biting your nails. I don’t think that I would recommend for anyone under the age of thirteen and then I feel the parent should check it out first.
Thanks to the author, Darrell Case, for providing me with a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.
Sluagh
Author Darrell Case takes the reader into the dangerous and deadly world of child kidnapping in his newest mystery release, Sluagh. This book will keep you spellbound and on the edge of your seat and probably destroy your sleep pattern if you stay up late to discover what happens next. Beyond being suspenseful, it’s an excellent example of the spirit warfare going on around us at any given moment. Swords clashing, demons fighting angels, and angels protecting their human charges.
Max Furman, a.k.a the Ghost, is a madman who grew up abused and unloved by his mother and has been on a killing spree for decades, terrorizing the country. In hiding from the FBI and masquerading as a minister, he is hired as the pastor of Waynesburg Baptist Church and sets out to commit more crimes in the small rural community.
This is an adult book, and not one for the faint of heart. Dramatic and action packed, the storyline is scary and graphic at times, bringing home the reality of child abduction and serial killing. However, these scenes are offset by glimpses of God’s powerful angelic warriors at work, battling for good to triumph over evil. My favorite line in the book is the last one which brings this story full circle: “And so it was in the presence of death, a new life was born.” Amen!
Please note: I was offered a free audio book in exchange for my honest review.

This book was a page turner. I read it in two days and had a hard time doing little else until it was over. It is slightly scary though to think thats what really goes on all over the world everyday. It makes me think differently how safe we really can be.... The only thing i get about this book is what is the title and how do you say it? Good read thoughI like how when you think its over its really not, something else happens andits like here we go again. But all in all a good read. There are a couple grammer errors and the Author did inform me that they are getting fixed so it not a big deal. I would recommend this book to those looking for a good suspence read with a lot of action and drama involved.
