Inspired by the Faustian myth of Robert Johnson selling his soul at the crossroads, only in this case, there are much loftier consequences. You're not in your average juke joint, January 1, 2013 If you love a good story that will keep you entertained this is the book for you! The flow of the story was easy to get swept away in, I found that I had a few sleepless nights while I read this book. With music being everywhere in our modern world, this isn't such a far fetched idea! But a SONG that can infect people? Brilliant and terrifying at the same time.
The concept of selling your soul is not a new one. I enjoyed how the two story lines blurred into each other.
How do you stop a devil of a song made to break a crossroads deal? Long Lost Song tells the story of Ricky and Michael as they battle their personal and real demons while the world reaches end times of biblical proportions. Is it the work of a curse recorded into a song by 1930's blues musician Ricky Jensen? The writing is great and moves along at a very swift pace and you will find yourself hitting that page button almost too fast for you own liking.A virus is decimating America today and Michael Decker is the culprit. I do not want to say too much more about the story itself, as I think you will be as absorbed by it as I was. To read this, you do not need to have read the first book in the series but it will help to understand the context behind the goings on. It is captivating and compelling and weaves (oh so funny) a secondary, older storyline into the events with such ease. Having read Book 1 (Weaver) and enjoying it, I wondered whether Mr Abramowitz could carry the story into a second book.
When I read a book I want the book to be good.įortunately for The Void, I found myself totally engrossed in the story of Alex and Moira within its opening pages.
Firstly, let me say that I consider John a friend, but do not think that this will bias this review in any way. Being friends with authors has benefits as lately I was asked to read the ARC for John Abramowitz's new book The Void.
