Shea, H: Faithless

I was eager to read 'Faithless' for two reasons: first, it was a new title by Hunter Shea (which would be reason alone to get my eyes on it), and second, it obviously was not a fun creature feature like I'm used to by this author. My curiosity was peaked! 'Faithless' is about faith or rather loss of faith (obvious), love, friendship...but of course there's also a very dark element involved, which I'd rather not give away here as a spoiler. The beginning is slow but builds a tight-knit atmosphere of spookiness and despair. Just when I was wondering what the author could have thought up to fill another half of the book, the whole story tipped into a whole new level of suspense, adding a new level of creepiness. The author perfectly described the despair and agony Raul felt over the loss of his family, and I was wondering how he could still hold up for so long. Felix, Raul's childhood friend, was my favorite character thought, maybe because he brought a first ray of positive light into Raul's dark world - and some serious action ;) Recommended!
