5 stars
(Excerpt from Godreads) A death row inmate, Prisoner U877, made a daring escape from his execution during a blackout at Crenshaw Prison. Now he finds himself fighting his way through a deadly prison riot and helping his own jailers, in order to save their souls. Some of God’s instruments are tarnished. This is the first installment of a series where we find out how The Reaper is chosen and that he does more than shepherd lost souls. He maintains the balance between Heaven and Hell, that is threatened to be destroyed by an ongoing war. Can a condemned soul becomes God’s weapon?
The Brit, prisoner U877, belongs in prison. He was a murderer on the outside and just as difficult on the inside. His time has come; he is going to be executed. But when a strange storm knocks out the power and the priest help him it seems he may avoid his fate. But then a riot breaks out in the prison. Prisoners and guards alike are trying to get to him. But things take a paranormal turn and there is more going on in the prison than first look.
I loved this story. You have a dark, supernatural setting, characters that you don’t know if they are really good or bad, and a ton of action. You don’t know what is going to pop out around the next corner or even who to trust. I really liked the Brit’s story. It was so heartbreaking but interesting how it let to him sitting in an electric chair.
It’s so hard not to give away too much with this story. Trust me, you have to read it. Now I can’t wait to begin Alpha Hunter.
I received this book from GS Luckett for free in exchange for an honest review.
