The Portal
by Russell James
A small and quite idyllic island, Stone Harbor, seemingly quiet with few visitors out of season soon takes an unexpected turn of events. A black clothed man - Joey Oates - makes an appearance via boat in search of his long lost Portal, a gateway which will open allowing demons to enter the world.
Oates doesn’t come alone but with a group of people who had previously made a deal with him who go in search of this portal. They intend to leave no stone unturned, anyone who gets in their way is dealt with.
Allie, an ex Hollywood actress, came home to the island to find herself again along with her ex boyfriend Scott find themselves in the middle of all the chaos and horror that is unfolding around them. They race Oates in attempt to find and secure the Portal.
I enjoyed the characters of the childhood sweethearts, each had well written backstories with their own secrets brought to light. Oates who we quickly find out is in fact the devil himself also well written and definitely devilish. He is easy to hate with his singular dedication to his cause of opening the gateway to hell.
Overall, a very quick and highly enjoyable read full of horror, supernatural, murders and intrigue all mixed in. My first book from this author, I would recommend to those who enjoy a good horror. I will be adding more of his stories to my TBR pile.
A massive thank you to Russell James and Flame Tree Press for the ARC and the opportunity to review.
