BOOK DESCRIPTION
When a man of heavenly worth sins in Hell, darkness shall reign upon the earth
A message from the other side - an omen of the impending apocalypse.
A message intended for one man, the only man who can prevent Armageddon, saving the soul of every man, woman and child on Earth.
That man is Joe Costello. But, not only is Joe trapped in the underworld, he is also the same man who has the power to unleash the shadows of hell upon the world.
Inspired by Dante Alighieri's The Divine Comedy, Joe must battle his way through the nine circles of Hell - his escape being the key to salvation.
Not only will he face all manner of Hell's demons, he'll also face his own.
However, Joe is not alone on his journey, as he is guided through each level of Hell by medium and psychic, Layla Thorne.
Shadows of Hell is the epic follow-up to Shadows of the Woods.
'Shadows of Hell thunders along at a breakneck pace, not giving the reader chance to draw breath.' - Lee Mountford, author of The Demonic
Two years have passed since the horrific events that occurred at Ravenfield police station and Joe Costello made the ultimate sacrifice for the sake of mankind. Now he is trapped in the underworld and he soon learns that his battle with the terrifying shadowmen is far from over. With the help of a medium he learns that the only way that he can return home is to work his way through the nine circles of hell. During his journey, Joe finds himself pushed to the limit,both physically and mentally as he finds himself confronting terrifying creatures,mind games, demons from his own past and taking part in a unusual talk show hosted by Lucifer himself. Will Joe be able to defeat the ultimate evil and return to the surface or is he destined to be trapped in hell....forever?
This fast paced, thrilling sequel is voiced from the perspectives of Joe, his fiance Linda and new characters Chris, Alexis and the medium Layla. Joe is such a likeable character and throughout his journey, I found myself constantly on edge and in a heightened sense of anxiety over his wellbeing. I really liked the new characters who were introduced in this book especially Layla who I thought was a fantastic character...darling.
The hell from this author's imagination isn't the expected world of fire and brimstone,it's a grey world that consists of constantly changing landscapes that is haunted by the wailing lost souls of the damned and the victims of the sinister shadowmen.
Wow...just,wow, this is a breath taking, intense, chilling, addictive story that had me hooked in from the first page. I was so captivated by the action that was unfolding before my eyes that I read the whole book in one sitting. I would say that although this book can be read and enjoyed as a standalone, to enjoy it to its full potential,I think that it is advisable to read Shadows Of The Woods before reading this one. From the way that this story ends it appears that the battles with the underworld are far from over and I look forward to finding out what the author has planned for our heroes in book 3. This is a very very well written,absolutely bloody brilliant read and very very highly recommended.
