So I was going through some Nook books on BN.com when I came across their new PubIt section. These are books that have been self published through Barnes and Noble. Featured in the Horror category was this little gem for 99cents. I loaded up my bargain, got cozy on the bed and began to read.

The first line: "I had to do it. They were my babies." - Joshua Graham

Welcome to the world of state forensic Psychiatrist Abigail Lee. And if that line was any indication as to how the rest of the book was going to be, I might be in for a real treat. You see, I love horror, scary, murder, true crime, paranormal type stories. Anything that has to do with exorcisms intrigues me.

The book had great reviews, so I figured I had nothing to lose.

Here is a synopsis of the book from Barnes and Noble.com :

"When forensic psychiatrist Abigail Lee meets a baby-killing mother who has been declared criminally insane and acquitted, she discovers something lurking beneath the surface. Something far deeper and more insidious than mere psychopathy. But can she come to terms with her own struggle with science and faith in time to confront it?"

Did you know that this book is actually listed in the Christian Fiction section? I had no idea when I first downloaded it. As of November 16, 2010 it reached #7 in the ebook downloads on bn.com

#7! Wow, I guess I am not the only one out there intrigued by such topics.

The book is a mere 31 pages and it literally took me an hour to read. I am not really sure how to even begin discussing this book. For anyone who does not like the subject of evil, exorcist, or the devil may not want to purchase this book. Although it is listed in the Christian section, there really is not a lot (in my opinion) in regards to religion other than a piece of scripture here and there and of course the plot of good vs. evil.

If you saw the Diary of Emily Rose and the trial of science vs. religion, and enjoyed it, this book would be a good fit for you.

 Because the book is so short, I am not going to go in to detail about it. It was a good read, you already know the subject, I will leave it up to you as to whether you choose to read it or not.
