This book was not what I excepted it to be! I really enjoy a good surprise. This book was creepy and supernatural. I enjoy books about demons and supernatural. This author has a new way to write about these things like this. This book definitely held my attention. * I received this book from the author in exchange for an honest review*

I received this book from a goodreads giveaway (signed by the author) :)First off I want to say this is a really cool title for the book. I love it.
This book is all about demons and exorcisms. It followed a priest named Ironblood and a man named Paladin. They show you many encounters they come into. It all leads up to battling and overcoming a priest and his followers who believe this great Shadow is God and is performing unauthorized exorcisms to please 'God'.
Now the book wasn't awful. The concept,story, and subject seemed very interesting. I was really looking forward to reading this. I liked all the encounters in the book. I was enjoying it and was interested, BUT my problem with this is I was confused most of the time. This could be because I was focused enough, but I didn't follow along with this book well. I kept getting confused on the timeline, where they were, and on some characters. I just didn't seem to know what was really happening a lot of the time. I feel like this could have been a 5 star book, but it just wasn't organized well enough for me. I have to say I did like the ending chapters of the book. I plan on reading this a second time at some point just to see if I can better understand, and maybe then I will enjoy it more and write a different review.

From the first sentence of the first page you're completely pulled in to this world. The characters, the settings, the story line- it's all brilliant. The fact this will be a very long series is the most exciting. There's so much to dig into it'll be an amazing series to follow along. If you haven't picked up your copy- you should probably do that now.

I received this book in a Goodreads First Reads giveaway.
I was pleasantly surprised by this one... Very different from what I normally read. It kept me engaged and interested. It starts off exciting and doesn't stop. I would definitely recommend this to someone wanting to try something a little new and different!
