The story does not follow a "standard" plot it's unique and the storytelling is so well done.
I loved the concept of this book and the situations the various characters find themselves in throughout this book.
A story that grabs the heart and carries the reader along in it's twist and turns to inspire curiosity.
Yet another stunning read from this author. Highly recommended.

Review
This was a unique read with a vivid world that manages to captivate and submerge the reader from the very start.
Be prepared for an involved ride of a read, it's dark at times in the best way.
It’s a great read that kept me as the reader engrossed.
(J.T. Baroni, pictured with the tombstone that inspired the story)
Living in Western Pennsylvania all my life, I’ve been an avid
Whitetail hunter since old enough to tote a rifle, which is also about as
long as I’ve had a fondness for word games and literature.
While hunting one year, I actually did stumble upon a weathered tombstone
in the middle of the woods.
While waiting patiently for that big buck to cross my path, I had plenty of
time to ponder the dead girl's fate, which I was then driven to write.
Eerily enough, this is the premise of The Legend of Rachel Petersen, my
first novel published in 2012, which I recently revised.
A newly retired transformer repairman, I refer to Johnstown, Pennsylvania,
a small town outside of Pittsburgh, as home.
My wife Becky and I share our abode with two retrievers - Piper, and
Remmy.

the inner workings of big business as corporate communications director for
a Fortune 500 company. Crimeline Hollywood is his first mystery though not
his last, especially since the hitman from Crimeline is still on the loose.
Like his hero, Dash Harwood, he is an Aquarian who likes to think outside
the box… once he cuts through all the packaging.
All Armand wants is to share his life with his girlfriend Vonnie. But money
is tight, their relationship is fizzling, and not even a monster-hunting
side gig is paying off.
When a mysterious drifter named Mr. Penny-Farthing blows into town on his
antique high-wheeler, Armand thinks his troubles are over. Penny-Farthing
offers Armand and Vonnie enough money to cover their expenses with one
condition: they must find and return the soul of a serial killer who escaped
Hell.
Completing Penny-Farthing’s contract won’t be easy when demons
appear all over the city and bodies start piling up. Overwhelmed and pushed
to the brink, Armand realizes his greatest fear isn’t demons or
shadowy murderers: it’s losing Vonnie forever. Can Armand stop a
killer and keep the woman he loves, or will Hell take everything from
him?
Nail-biting and visceral, Mr. Penny-Farthing is a high-octane horror story
about escaping your comfort zone while fighting for love.
Review
This book will consume you, it's wonderfully written.
As I read it I got the distinct impression I was in the middle this thriller right along with the characters.
I especially enjoyed the way the author made us second guess ourselves as we read. It's not predictable which is a huge plus.
This cover is gorgeous and really speaks to the theme well! Superb writing, a great story!

Review
Are religion and science incompatible? Many people think so and this is a deep dive into that. When science dismisses your question about why you exist or what is your purpose, philosophy helps connect the reality of things you can prove and others upon which you can only speculate. This is a book for people willing to think.
