    About this audiobook

    The Book of Demons, the much-anticipated sequel to The Book of Souls, finds Jack Kelly in the fight of his life. This time, he's not battling ghosts. His nemesis is the shapeshifting necromancer, Mr. Philips, who inhabits both the world of the living and the world of the dead.

    Ghost-touched teen Jack Kelly returns in this polished urban fantasy/horror sequel to Moore’s The Book of Souls. At times an intriguing mystery, at others a chilling thriller, The Book of Demons offers a sensational stroll through the hustle and bustle of an inventively paranormal version of 80s New York City. Jack’s development throughout is an adventurous, if spooky, coming of age story that will thrill and at times scare readers of classic urban fantasy and YA series... — Booklife Reviews

    When Mr. Philips discovers a powerful, cursed painting whose magic he can use for personal gain, he will stop at nothing to acquire it…including murder.

    Before he can get his hands on it, the painting goes missing and its artist is found dead. Enraged, Mr. Philips vows to hunt it down. But someone else finds it first: Jack, a teenage mystic who understands the painting’s tremendous power and would do anything to keep Mr. Philips from harnessing it.

    Along with two unexpected allies—a non-verbal autistic child and the spirit of a dead nun—Jack battles to keep the painting away from Mr. Philips. But as the stakes rise along with the body count, their epic battle for possession of the painting may cost Jack everything and everyone he loves.

      A year ago, Jack Kelly woke up from a coma with a special set of abilities. With those abilities, he was able to spiritually battle an enraged ghost in his friend's apartment complex. The battle took a toll on everyone involved and Jack's friend, Peter, ended up in a psychiatric unit. After returning, Peter decided he could no longer stay in the apartment, especially with the painting the ghost had completed in life. While Jack knows that the ghost is no longer around, the painting still seems to have a strong pull and is receiving a lot of attention from a mysterious Mr. Phillips who insists on having the painting as his own. Fifteen year old Jack knows that Mr. Phillips is not human and will use the painting for nefarious means. Now, Jack must try to keep the painting safe and away from Mr. Phillips. The Book of Demons is a fast-paced sequel to The Book of Souls. I would definitely recommend reading The Book of Souls first in order to understand Jack's history, his abilities and his connection and the history of the painting. I was immediately pulled into the story from Mr. Phillips point of view and how he came to receive his strange powers. I was excited to get back to Jack's story and see how he was dealing with life after the spiritual battle. It was interesting to see him dealing with everyday high schooler issues alongside battling a necromancer and protecting the painting. I actually would have liked to read more from Mr. Phillips point of view to know more about his powers and what he wanted in the painting. The ending wrapped up pretty quickly, and while I was happy for Jack, I wanted to know how he was able to return. This book was received for free in return for an honest review.

      I was drawn to this book by the book cover. So much so that I really did not read the premise of this book. Thus, I did not realize that it was the conclusion in a duology. If I had read the first book it might have helped a little with my reading experience of this book. I only say a little as I went into this book thinking it was a standalone and still, I don’t think it would have changed my mind much.What I personally struggled with is how slow this story was. It seemed like for about sixty percent of the story, there was not a lot of “big” moments happening. Just a lot of dialect. This is where if I had read the first book, I think my interest would have peaked. Yet, the latter part of this story Is where I got pulled in and very intrigued. The dark events that transpired is the reason that I wanted to read this book. I just wished that it had happened sooner, but I do understand why it did not. While, I may not have loved this book I would try another one from this author.

      The author kept rehashing events from book 1, a little too much. I did like it though. It wasn't as strong as book 1 and left some loose ends in my opinion. Eh...
    • 4/5
      Not as good as the first....but STILL a 4 star scare!! Love this authors writing style.
