Goddess of Everything by Paul DeBlassie III – Review by Micalah Weatherholtz

Goddess of Everything: A Blood-Curdling Tale of the Affection of One Mother for Her Son and Her Son’s Struggle for Truth, Freedom, and Love by Paul DeBlassie III
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Like.. What ?! What in the world did I just read ? Those are my immediate thoughts of this book after turning its last few pages.

Goddess of Everything starts in a cemetery with a young boy and his Mother. You soon realize this woman is not everything she seems on the surface with what transpires at the boys fathers funeral.

This is absolutely the definition of a supernatural, psychological thriller. It’s a newer, often unexplored subject that I don’t feel gets touched on to much. It’s fresh. This book is a wild, crazy, edge of your seat ride to the very end. It most definitely is a blood curdling ride as well with its depictions of child abuse, and murder which I feel should definitely have some trigger warnings involved for a more sensitive audience as it’s definitely an intense read! There are tons of corrupt people involved and it’s hard to really trust anyone throughout the book but I do think Consuela was one of the best in this book. As hard as she tried to open Gabriel’s eyes to the evil that was his mother she remained steadfast and strong for him never aggressive or defensive while she let him fight his own demons and wage his battles inside himself. They fought until the very end which eventually paid off. If you can look past the triggers mentioned and are looking for fresh, albeit hard to read, new subject matter in your thrillers this might be the book for you! It’s an absolute nail bitter.
