The Devil’s Prayer by Luke Gracias
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I was given this ARC by NetGalley in return for an honest review.
This book was flat out amazing. I read it in less than two days and I was completely absorbed.
The characters, the entire ensemble, were a great mixture of personalities that made the reader want to know what drove their need, their desire for the behaviour that ultimately led to the unfolding of events.
The story was not what I had expected from the synopsis given on the NetGalley page, which was by no means a bad thing and only increased the surprise and anticipation as the story ran its course.
The writing was effortless and captivating. I felt as if I was watching the story unfold, instead of just reading words on a page. It flowed and made it easy to pick up the story after a break, although for me they were small breaks, since the book was practically glued to my face.
Overall, this was a chilling story that represents the dark side of humanity and how far people would go for personal gain. I highly recommend this book to anyone, who likes a good mystery/thriller.
