I found this to be a really interesting and informative look into the actual practice of exorcisms, a topic which is often overblown and over-sensationalized. The audiobook was well narrated and flowed well. Definitely a must listen (or read) for fans of the paranormal and those interested in exorcisms.

I thought that this was incredible nonfiction book on exorcists and what they have to go through! I listened through the book so fast. I loved that Father Martins sprinkled in stories of his job along with scripture and facts. It made for a very fascinating and informative read.

The Exorcist Files offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of exorcism through Father Carlos Martins' experiences. The book is filled with real-life cases and supernatural encounters that are sure to intrigue readers with an interest in the occult and spiritual warfare. However, the writing feels somewhat repetitive at times, and the pacing drags in parts, making it a bit difficult to stay engaged throughout. The narration is competent, but the material often leans more on sensationalism rather than deep spiritual reflection, which could leave some listeners feeling disconnected. Overall, while there are moments of intrigue, the book fails to fully deliver a truly compelling narrative.

The Exorcist Files by father Carlos Martins, I read the Kindle version and listen to the audio version narrated by the author. Usually when a book is narrated by the author, it doesn’t turn out so great, but I found father Carlos Martin narration to be so enjoyable despite the horrible subject matter. there’s many things about Catholicism that I found suspect throughout my life and an including ever since I found out there was a sin tax issued by the church, to eat cheese and other crazy things, the church shouldn’t even bother with. having said that when it comes to exorcisms even. back in the medieval times Catholic priest seem to know what they were doing. In this book, father Martin tells us all about his personal experience with Demons. I really enjoyed the one about the vanishing girl and the feline demon, and if all he says is true from hearing him, read the narrative he sounds pretty credible, that must’ve been so very scary. He tells us all about the rules of exorcism what causes demons to attach to people and the origin, story of Satan and his demons. I really found this book not only entertaining but educational and having finished it. I have nothing but respect for father Carlos Martens. I feared because this was written by a priest it would be bogged down and academia and or theology, but he basically educates the reader on his cases and the other things I’ve already mentioned. As I said, his narration was great. The Kindle book was great, but if I had to choose between the two, I would definitely get the audiobook because the one who wrote it is telling the story and that’s always a plus. I really enjoyed thibook and totally recommend it to those who like them Mabra and especially nonfiction the new definitely like this book. #NetGalley, #McMillanAudio, #FatherCarlosMartin, #TheExorcistFiles,

An informative and biblically based examination of the practise of exorcism. I would have liked more anecdotes and stories, but mixing theological information in with the stories of possession did give it more of an edicational basis which was informative.

Loved this book & may have to check out the author's podcast. This had a little bit of the horror I was after, but also a really honest look at exorcism and demons and I felt like I learned a lot about what the Catholic church teaches on the subject.

I received an ARC of this book from Netgalley in exchange for my honest opinions.

Where were these stories when I was in church school? As someone from a semi-religious background I have to admit, there are things in here I had never heard before, stories lost or changed during my upbringing. And although I do not necessarily believe or agree with all the concepts/stories mentioned here, it does help piece together answers to questions I had.

The narrator was easy to understand, was able to portray the gravity of what is believed to be true & real, leaving one to at least double check their thoughts & actions. Great read, whether you're seeking religious education or something more for entertainment value.

Thank you to Netgalley and the author/publisher for a copy of this book.
At times I was a bit lost with just how much information there was but overall it was a super interesting book. The stories were creepy and kept you interested in hearing how they were taken care of. The narrator did a great job in my opinion too. I normally wouldn't pick up a book/audiobook like this but it kept me entertained.

Alright, so this book is like a backstage pass into a real-life exorcist and the whole fight against evil, with Father Carlos sharing some intense stories from his files. It’s fascinating and spooky, and you can tell he knows his stuff. He's is all about breaking down how evil sneaks into our lives. It’s a little terrifying but also kind of fascinating in a “maybe I need to keep my salt and holy water closer” kinda way, ya know?

It’s an interesting read if you’re curious about the real deal on exorcisms. Big thanks to NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for my honest review!
