The Unholy by Paul DeBlassie III – Review by Kerry Carr

The Unholy by Paul DeBlassie III
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was a really interesting story about good vs evil. The author has an amazing way of bringing a work of fiction to life and making the reader feel like it could actually happen in reality. The characters are really well written. You can feel the trauma and emotion that Claire goes through everyday since losing her mother and how it affects her decisions years later.
This story is unique in the way it has great links with history and beliefs such as medicine women.
Claire is trying to get on with her life. Since losing her mum her life hasn’t been the same. She doesn’t want to embrace her life as the last medicine women as all she knows is that life leads to death so she carries on denying her heritage and trying to find her mothers killer.
Eventually she realises she needs to face her past and her heritage and embrace it if she stands any chance of facing her mothers killer.

This story is a rollercoaster of emotions. It’s also a good insight into religion and how it can be used for good and evil depending on your take on things. You can feel the anguish Claire goes through as she fights what is her destiny and overwhelming fear she goes through as she prepares to fight the evil that killed her mother.
