The Keep by F. Paul Wilson
5.0

This was great! 5 stars!

The Keep is the first book in a series by F. Paul Wilson. This is the first book that I’ve read by him and it won’t be the last.

I loved the writing, the plot, the characterization and all the action. It was great from beginning to end!

The Keep is set in 1941 and Nazi’s are in full control. Germany is winning the war and concentration camps are in full force.
A Germany Captain, Klaus Woermann and his men have been stationed in a small castle in the Alps of Romania. It’s in the Transylvania area and one German soldier is getting killed each night. Woermann is convinced it’s not human and sends help back to Germany. Germany sends an elite SS squad in the charge of Major Erik Kaempffer.

Damn, I hated the Nazi SS squad and Major Kaempffer!!
I had no issues with Nazi scum getting killed each night. Sorry, not sorry.

Since the Nazi’s can’t control and fight what is killing them, they bring in a Romanian local expert that’s Jewish.
Yeah, cue the irony on a Jew been forced to help Nazi’s.

Professor Cuza and his daughter Magda are now forced to find out what is killing these men and how to fight it. While this is a going on, an unknown man is heading towards the action, and must stop this evil once and for all.

I'm not elaborating anymore with the plot because the less you know, the more you'll enjoy it!

Everything was great in this and the last 20% of the book was EPIC!
I would recommend this book if you enjoy horror, action, history and great plots.
I'm so glad to finally read this and looking forward to continuing the series, Adversary Cycle!!
