Something evil this way
comes...sadly for it, Peter Saints awaits.
Peter Saint's life stinks.
But things are about to get much worst. First, his parents are murdered in
front of him. Then another victim dies in his arms. Visions plague Peter with
warnings that something wants him for a sinister cause. It desires the one thing
that Peter refuses to give—his blood. Peter carries within him the one gift or
curse that could unlock a secret to destroy the human race. On the run with
Angel, a scruffy kid, Peter starts to unravel the mystery. It's the one
treasure the heavens sought to hide from the world. Unfortunately, when Peter
finds the answer that he hopes will save the girl he loves, he opens the door
to a great evil that happens to be salivating to meet him.
My Thoughts:
This was one of those
books with a lot of twists and turns that I did not expect. The main character
Peter Saint watched his parents die. He was taken in by Pastor Finn who
took care of him like a son. He had a rule that Peter was to stay in all
the time for his protection. Peter didn’t know what he was being
protected from. He had terrible visions and nightmares that were
increasing. Peter would sneak out at night. He was followed around by a
girl named Hannah. He sees her get hit by a car. Before she dies she gives him
a “gift”, a mark in his hand. He rushes home and tells Pastor Finn what
has happened and shows him the mark. Pastor Finn tells him he must leave
and search for a safe place. Peter learns that his parents were part of
an organization called The Order of Grace. They held a secret and gave
their life protecting Peter and others like him.
Peter’s blood is desired
by an Evil that can use it to bring their evil to life. Peter joins Angel
and Kyle on the run. The three of them must find a way to stay out of
harms way and protect and save the world. I really wish I could say more
but that would really spoil it. This is definitely a must read for all
fantasy lovers.
