If you are the kind of person who laughs while watching terrifying scary movies and enjoys the moments when the main character is devoured by demons or devils or other creatures from hell, then this book is for you. I personally am not a major fan of horror movies, but the writing style of the author of this book, Eve Hathaway, made me fall in love with the novel and keep reading no matter how frightening the story would become. I simply couldn’t pull away, no matter how terrified I would become during the read.The descriptions were amazing- I truly felt as though I was experiencing the whole nightmare of the poor, insane Judas Stoker with my own being. It’s a touching tale as well, as Judas ends up feeling a kind of devotion to the maid Bast, and keeps getting her pulled away from him by the deathly butler. The story starts off with great metaphors and an excellent, compelling writing style which lasts throughout the entire novel. Definitely a recommended book!
