It's the summer of 2012 and Elizabeth Megalos is a
disillusioned art-school grad getting by as a bank teller in St. Louis. One
evening, she’s attacked by a possessed coworker and saved by a mysterious,
wise-cracking sorcerer named Eddy. He drags Elizabeth and Hugh—a skeptical
scholar of the occult—to Europe, where he introduces them to his three magical
celebrity friends. Once there, Eddy explains the group's mission: preventing a
Demiurge—a creature out of Gnostic Christian mythology—from fulfilling the
visions of doom in the Book of Revelation. The Demiurge has been drawing power
from the misguided beliefs in the Mayan apocalypse and is set to start the
destruction on Dec. 21st, 2012. Through ritual magic and a series of
psychedelic experiences, the group learns that Elizabeth is the key to taking
down the Demiurge, though she can't imagine how she will be the one to stop
Armageddon.
REVIEW
*I received a free copy of this book which I voluntarily chose to write an honest review for.This is an interesting read. We meet Elizabeth as she is going About her boring ho-hum life. She goes home one night expecting a friend to come over but when she arrives she attacks her instead. Enter Eddy who shows up just in time to save the day though his explanation throws her for a loop. Magic exists though not how we think it does. This leads to a doozy of an adventure as they gather a group of people to stop the apocalypse. Full of surprising twists and turns that you will never see coming leading an explosive ending. A great read for fans of suspenseful magical novels. I really liked it so I give it 4/5 stars.
