Title: The Consuming
Author: Todd Boyer
Publisher: Outskirts Press
Genre: Fiction
Do not judge this book by its cover or tagline, Todd Boyer’s The Consuming is much more than just a religious fiction thriller. It is one of those few books which make a perfect blend between fiction and religion, leaving their readers mesmerizing.
The Consuming is the story of a demon scout named Max, who plans the consuming of a human, Jack for his best friend Ike. After a tragedy in his life, Jack has lost his interest in living and his faith in God, making him a perfect vessel for the demons. But the possession doesn’t go as per the demon’s plan and Ike finds himself trapped in Jack’s body. To save his friend, Max leads to a journey of uncharted realms which reveals some astonishing facts, a conspiracy about the Apocalypse and change his perspective towards the mankind. Now both the demons and Jack has to work together against a warrior demon in order to save themselves and the world.
All the characters in the book have an enthralling depth, giving the reader an inimitable view point on good and evil. All the twists in the tale and its flow is intriguing, making it an enchanting page-turner. Even being a non-Christian, I faced no problem to connect with the story, hence a recommendation for all the fiction fans. As the author is already working on the sequels (can’t wait to get my hands on it), it’s better not to miss the beginning of a splendid series.
Rating: 4/5
