The Cambion

Terror Through Time

This review was originally published by Invincible Love of Reading, under Kurt's Frontier.

Synopsis:
On a trip to Gettysburg, Dr. Beth Carmichael and her husband, Casey, uncover much more than Civil War history. Beth discovers a connection to a past life when she encounters the ghost of her young son, killed by the cruel mistress of an orphanage. Both the ghost of the small boy and the demon who killed him follow the couple home. The beautifully wicked succubus targets Beth’s husband in a bid for his soul.

Beth and Geraldine Knight, a paranormal researcher, determine their only hope of saving them all is to destroy the demon. Unfortunately, one of the ingredients necessary to solve their problem is impossible to obtain — unless Beth is willing to do some very gruesome “collecting” from the morgue.

On the trail of a horrific murder, Police Sergeant Mark Stoner is in close pursuit when Beth and Geraldine finally confront the Queen of all succubi, Nahema. The shocking triple-twist ending leaves the reader wanting more, but hoping the nightmare is over. Is it?

Review:
Paul W. Nielsen has written a page turning novel of paranormal horror. His inclusion of emergency room terms is short and no way distracting. The dialogue was natural, while the story itself kept a perfect pace for suspense. The characters are well developed and are easy for the audience to identify with and “root for.” The tale contained several twists that will keep the audience on the edge of their seats. Overall it is a well written novel that fans of horror will enjoy.
