Review: THE DEMON GUARDIAN by Neil Davies
I found this novel engrossing from the first page, and I had no difficulty empathizing with quite a number of the characters {which does not always occur}. The plotting is taut and the theme quite intriguing (not to mention potentially apocalyptic!). In a tiny English community, laid back and quiet, a middle-aged man, unemployed, depressed, and overeating, begins to hear whispers. Sounds psychological, doesn't it? Not the case. His wife suddenly develops wild urges. Two endearing layabouts discover a mysterious carved stone in the local forest, and call in a university archaeologist with an abiding interest in mythology. Suddenly, all "Hel" breaks out, and I don't mean Hades. Think Norse mythology.
I read this page-turner in one sitting, racing through the pages because I was so caught up. Kudos to author Neil Davies!
