About The Book
A nun commits suicide in front of thousands in Spain. In Australia, Siobhan Russo recognizes that nun as her mother, Denise Russo, who disappeared six years ago.
In search of answers, Siobhan travels to the isolated convent where her mother once lived. Here she discovers Denise’s final confession, a book that details a heinous betrayal that left her crippled and mute, and Denise’s subsequent deal with the Devil to take revenge. In Denise's desperate bargain with the Prince of Darkness, she wagered Siobhan’s soul.
As Siobhan discovers the fate of her soul, she learns that hidden within the pages of her mother’s confession is part of The Devil’s Prayer, an ancient text with the power to unleash apocalyptic horrors.
My Thoughts
Well, let’s start with that it is a good book.
I really like how a daughter searches for the truth for her mother. That mother-daughter part is really close to my heart.
Without any spoiler, I have to say that The book has some dark parts that are not for everyone, especially for the weak-hearted.
One thing, it’s not a criticism, just something I felt, the book really heave on the information. There are times; it feels like too much explanation on everything. Overall, the narration is good.
Definitely a good read.
