Book Review: Personal Demons


Book: Personal Demons
Author: Gregory Lamberson
Publisher: Medallion Press

I'm not saying this is the best book cover in the world, but it certianly is different, and it stood out when I was looking around at a book store. I thought it looked intresting enough to buy it even though I wasn't familier with the author.

This is Gregory Lambersons first book, with his 2nd book called "Frenzy Way" coming out in June.  I really enjoyed this book so, I plan on picking up that one as well.

The books main character Jake Helman is a new york cop investigating a serial killer called the cipher. Jake has a few problems most noteably a cocaine habbit. When Jake refuses to submit to a drug test he resigns from the police department.

 Soon after Jake gets hired as the director of security for a genetic engineering company. This is when things start getting pretty crazy. Working security Jake discovers ghosts searching for there souls, a demon called the grim reaper, and loads of other crazy things that almost push Jake to his limit. This book is extremely fast paced, and I had a fun time reading it. It is on the short side at 377 pages so I got through this one very quick. I realy enjoyed the book, and I look forward to reading more by Gregory Lamberson. The fun story, fast paced action, the gore, and horror would have me recomend this book for fans of Charlie Huston, Harry Connolly, and Mike Carey.
