Salem VI: Rebecca’s Rising by Jack Heath and John Thompson

About the Book:

Having stepped off the fast track of primetime network television news, John Andrews has chosen a quieter life as editor of Salem News, a small paper in a quiet New England town. Life is perfect until Andrews’ wife is killed in a tragic accident. After several years of trying to numb the pain with alcohol, Andrews is visited by the spirit of a long dead ancestor who opens a door to a shocking family history. After he experiences a surreal glimpse into the past, Andrews must confront the question of whether he is losing his mind or whether for several hundred years his ancestors have been engaged in a secret battle with a coven that worships Satan. Fueled by the need to understand whether his wife’s death was really an accident or something far more sinister, Andrews, along with his beautiful assistant editor, risk everything to discover a truth so horrifying it threatens to destroy everything and everyone he knows and loves.

My Thoughts:

Salem VI: Rebecca’s Rising grabs you from the get go and I just couldn’t put it down. John Andrews is the perfect character who is both smart and flawed at the same time. He could easily be someone that you knew. In fact all of the characters are perfectly written and very realistic. I found myself reading this from beginning to end in one day because I simply could not put it down.
