This book starts a new story arc. The characters all now work for the Church investigating supernatural events. Sarah, David, and Father Janosch go on a mission to find out more information about a supposedly possessed priest at a large church. I didn't enjoy this as much as the previous three books. Sarah was a complete annoyance; she was pushy, rude, and self-centred. Somehow I don't remember her that way. Otherwise, the story was good. A decent possession story with a twist I didn't see coming and a creepy ending. ( )

Another scary and spooky story in the Haunted series by author, Lee Mountford!

A small backstory without giving away spoilers:

Sarah Pearson and her crew are needed in the Czech Republic as they learn that a cathedral there is haunted. When the team arrive they find out that a priest (Father Hus) is being detained in a room to keep him away from everyone and he has become possessed.

The team learn quickly that they have to get to the bottom of finding out how Father Hus became possessed as the demon within the priest is slowly taking over not only the body of the priest but his mind as well and if they do not purge the demon from the priest there will be no hope left to save him from the possession.

Where did the demon come from? Why is it possessing the priest? Do they exorcise the demon from Father Hus? No spoilers here as you will need to read the book!

Thoughts:

This story was just steeped in demonic themes and personally I think it was the scariest by far in the Haunted series. The story started out a little slow in the beginning but the author was setting up the world building to the story, but once the team arrive and engage with the priest is when the book goes into overdrive with the pace of the book picking up! There is a major twist near the end of the book that shocked me right out of my shoes! Giving this one five "Devilish Demon" stars! ( )
