"Blood Tithe" by Glenn J. Soucy was a compelling and powerful read for me. After an intriguing prologue the narrator Jeremy tells the readers about an accident in the woods near an Air Force Base in Maine that brings him into contact with chemicals and leaves him in intensive care with severe burns. The military take a strong interest in his case while Jeremy develops strange supernatural episodes and talents.Jeremy is a great main character, an unlikely hero due to his young age (5 years old at the very beginning), which gives his perspective a great edge and makes the tension, dangers and dramas all the more threatening and real. Being young and childish yet likeable makes him also an excellent narrator.The story is very strong and well written in an instantly engaging way. Throughout the book I wanted to know what happens next, Soucy knows how to keep the interest and suspense going.Very recommendable.
