Description

"SORROW'S POINT was probably one of the most terrifying books I've ever read. The book is a page-turner, but definitely not for the faint of heart. There were a few chilling scenes that will leave me with nightmares for weeks." - Heather Wood, Book Chatter "SORROW'S POINT by Danielle DeVor is a new take on The Exorcist and for me a much better read. The author has invoked pure spine-tingling flesh-crawling terror from every chilling page." - Fantasy and Horror Author, Simon Okill "Move over, Stephen King. Danielle DeVor is on her way!" - YA Paranormal Romance Author, Katie O'Sullivan "Defrocked priest Jimmy Holiday's narrative voice is a strong blend of insightful, self-deprecating, and sincere." - Publisher's Weekly --This text refers to an alternate kindle_edition edition. Named one of the Examiner's 2014 Women in Horror: 93 Horror Authors You Need to Read Right Now, Danielle DeVor has been spinning the spider webs, or rather, the keyboard for more frights and oddities. She spent her early years fantasizing about vampires and watching "Salem's Lot" far too many times. When not writing and reading about weird things, you will find her hanging out at the nearest coffee shop, enjoying a mocha frappuccino. danielledevor.com --This text refers to an alternate kindle_edition edition.

Awesome story

I love a good exorcism story, and this one is really, really good. I cared about the characters quite a bit and I'm eager to read more of Jimmy Holiday's adventures.

New Favorite Author!

A story about an ex-priest, a witch, and a possessed child. What could possibly go wrong? Everything. And yet, everything that went wrong still came out right! This book is exciting, fast paced, and fun! I absolutely love the main character, Jimmy Holiday, a smart-ass ex-priest flying by the seat of his pants, and his relationship with others.

Danielle DeVor's character development is excellent, it was so easy to get attached to the characters, to get sucked into theIr stories. To root for, or yell at, them.

DeVor has a natural aptitude for this genre, as if she was born to write dark fantasy/supernatural thrillers. I can't wait to read more of her work!!

Sorrow’s Point

Why anyone would move to a place called Sorrow’s Point is beyond me. This was a gripping thriller of possession and the man charged with saving a little girl from the demon that possessed her. It had its ups and downs and a not so happy conclusion.
