Raven's peak the first have read by Lincol Cole a thriller,a demon slayer story with exciting action scene.Has kept me interested and mostly impressed with the author creation of characters such as Abigail Dressler and Haatim.Characters who you fall in love with as you continue reading he book.

Abigail is sent by the council of elders through Frieda as an hunter to investigate what is happening in Ravens peak,a small mountain town when residence start acting strange.

On her quest as a demon slayer Abigail meets Haatim(the son of a council of elders) whereby she rescues him.Together with her now sidekick(Haatim) Abigail are running out of time as they face a strong ancieng demon.Will they solve the terrifying problem facing the town folks and still stay alive?

Starting from the beginning with the Reverend in a cell torturing himself and then the visit from Frieda you would think that you can predict what was about to happen but the introduction of Abigail and Haatim takes the reader into different path,the author ability to describe the scenes gives the reader a vivid description of what is happening,at a point it almost looks like you watching a movie.The demon slayer story looks all familiar but in a very different and unique setting.The character of Abigail and Haatim clearly shows theb ability of Cole and he's influence on pen and paper.

Both main characters in the book have been through some few challenges in their lives and have overcome them but still there is alot coming as they are trying to solve the problems in the town,whoever has read the book can see there is a sense of hope not only in the story but also gives you hope for the problem you are facing no matter howw scary or difficult they are.

I have to say that this book is memorable and very entertaining with the author ability to pass you through the changing scene from the beginning to the end as the book gradually develops and so is the characters progression.

Personally i would rate this book 3 out of 4.l am looking forward to the next series from Lincoln Colee because Raven's peak world of fire,Book 1 is a book i would still read even if they make a movie out of it.All i would say is that Raven's Peak is a good book and i am planning to read again to just step out of this normal world for sometime and get into the paranormal.

Interesting book review. Have you tried writing your review and using the grammar and spell check tool? That should help to pick up a lot of the grammatical errors.
