They’re not breathing. That’s why they’re so still. But that’s not possible . . . Eleven months after battling Nicholas Tower and the demon Cain, Jake Helman has set up shop as a private investigator in Lower Manhattan. When a woman hires Jake to prove that her dead grandson is dealing a deadly new drug called “Black Magic” on a Brooklyn street corner, Jake uncovers a vicious drug lord’s plot to use voodoo to seize control of the city. While panic grips
New York City, Jake Helman battles gun-wielding zombie assassins,
hallucinations, and betrayal at every corner. But voodoo creates
more terrors than zombies, and Jake finds himself poised on
the edge of insanity as he fights to restore the soul of the
one person he trusts. |
Reviews “Proving
that the first Helman novel wasn’t a one-off fluke, Lamberson
(who’s also written the werewolf novel The
Frenzy Way, 2010) serves up another helping of
action, horror, and supernatural mayhem. As in Personal
Demons, it’s Jake’s own journey that
provides the story’s dramatic anchor—with all this
otherworldly stuff going on, Jake’s efforts to save the
life of a friend provide a nice counterpoint. Another fine novel
from this increasingly interesting writer.” "Make
no mistake about it. Greg Lamberson’s second outing into
the world of Jake Helman is breathtaking and relentless. This
is the occult detective genre done right, with finesse, charm,
and nonstop action from an author at the top of his game. I’ve
said it before, and I’ll say it again: Lamberson’s
literary approach is cinematic, bold, and an all-or-nothing
bombastic explosion of thrills, chills, and heart-pumping storytelling." “With
as much action-packed fighting scenes as Personal
Demons, plenty of twists, some genuine scares,
and a world where just about no one can be trusted, Desperate
Souls is a surefire hit for anyone who loves cross-genre
horror stories.” “There were also a few surprises that blindsided
me to the point where I remember saying, “Oh my God!” out
loud. The action scenes were exciting, well executed, and had
me on the edge of my seat.” |
