It’s not often I download a Kindle book that is a three in one offer, but this intrigued me so I made the decision to do so; I was not disappointed. I’m not exactly sure what I was expecting, as there have been so many books giving a different slant on the Judas story, but this was certainly not the normal fare.
The main protagonist is, of course, Judas, and he is a well written and very believable character. He bares his emotions and feelings about the longevity of his life, whilst adding humour to his recounting of his life. This makes him a likable character and one who, regardless of your religious beliefs, the reader will be very hard pressed to not be able to connect to.
With a skilful hand the Author takes a different route from the ones normally read about. There are biblical references throughout the book which I enjoyed but which some, more religious readers than I, may find rude and blasphemous but these add to the reality of the Judas story and are necessary in the development of the storyline. There were times when some aspects of the story appeared just a little too farfetched to fit comfortably into the stories as a whole, but this does not detract from the sheer enjoyment that is to be had from reading these books.
These books will be able to hit the spot for most readers as they have a blend of covert operations, horror and the paranormal, to name but three and I would highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for an enjoyably e read to while away these cold winter days. I will definitely be reading the rest of this series, and possibly others written by this Author.
