This was a fantastic thriller. Twists, suspense, tension. The mystery was riveting. I . Right away, I was hooked with how odd this situation was, and things only increased, which had me on the edge of my seat.

"Take the bag on the counter. Do not open it. Keep hold of it until you hear from us. Follow these orders or lose another finger. Remember, don’t tell a soul.”



⚠️ Rachel Race is being stalked and pursued by dark forces. Waking up from one of her many strange dreams one night with a stabbing, burning pain from her bleeding hand, only to realize that she's missing a finger. ☝️ Things started to get weirder and dangerous as she starts being attacked and chased by a black panther she thinks is responsible for her hacked finger. Then there are the hooded figures wearing black cloaks, moaning and chanting on top of Griffton Cliff. Mentions of fallen angels and one in particular named Samyaza, also known as Shemyazaz, Semjaza, Shemyaza , Shemhazai, and Amezarak, a fallen angel – a demon – of Hebrew and Christian tradition. He ranked in the heavenly hierarchy as one of the Grigori – meaning ‘Watchers’ in Greek.’ Samyaza will often appear as a friendly spirit guide to trick his chosen one to manipulate and do his bidding by showing a world behind imagining full of power, adventure and hidden knowledge. He lures with teachings of incantations, spell casting, shape-shifting and sorcery in exchange for your loyalty and soul, to which Daniel Harcourt fell prey. Samyaza's bidding varied from casting spells to carrying out theft and actual physical harm. This continued for several years but now Daniel wants out. As if it is going to be that easy. 👿
Back to Rachel, it's down to her to find out the answers to all of her questions: why they had taken her finger, why they had involved her in all of these assignments, and why they had chosen her at all.
💭 Not bad at all. Another evil Vs good kind of story. I've seen mixed reviews but decided to give this one a go and I surprisingly liked it. I have no issues with the writing style, format, pacing and I don't think it has 'too many characters' which makes a story disorienting. My only complaint is that I wish I had the rest of the 5fingers series to finally know the conclusion.

3.5✨

A decent, voodoo style, good versus evil narrative. The pages are filled with mystery, strange happenings, manipulation,  kidnap and magic. I received an ARC copy from Book Whisperer for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
