Exorcist Falls by Jonathan Janz
4.0
This volume is comprised of the novella "Exorcist Road," as well as a sequel novel, Exorcist Falls.
In "Exorcist Road," Father Jason Crowder is called out of bed to aid in the exorcism of a young boy. Compounding the terrible circumstance, there is a killer on the loose that kills young girls. He's called the Sweet Sixteen Killer by the press.
It's hard to say much about the transition between "Exorcist Road" and Exorcist Falls without giving away a big plot point. But in the second story, Father Crowder has some information about who the Sweet Sixteen Killer is, but can't do anything about it.
Those synopses aren't great, but I'm in a rush tonight.
Father Crowder is a fascinating character. He isn't the best priest. Or even that great a guy. But he's trying. And seeing that effort in the face of unimaginable terrors is at the heart of this book. Also, tremendous violence.
For readers who don't mind moral ambiguity or blood-letting.
