About this listen

Andy Lorenzo has no family, few friends, and poor social skills and drinks and gambles far too much. But in a time when demons are becoming increasingly more brazen and powerful, he has one skill that makes demons cower in fear from him - he is the greatest exorcist the world has ever known.

In Battle of the Soul, a supernatural thriller that is a combination of Constantine and The Exorcist, since graduating high school, Andy has left a long trail of demons in his wake while priests are dying while performing traditional rites of exorcism. Andy is the church and society's ultimate weapon in combating this growing epidemic. He needs no Bibles, prayers, or rituals. Andy is capable of going inside the person's soul, where he engages in hand-to-hand combat using his superhuman abilities that reside only when he is in a person's soul. When eight-year-old Kate becomes possessed, Andy finds an elaborate trap waiting for him. He will do whatever it takes to win the most important fight of his life - the battle for Kate's soul.

“Ready for a lighthearted Battle of the Soul? Andy Lorenzo's got the requisite exorcism skills, but he's no single-minded zealot nor cynical bleak arts practitioner. He gets the biz done with a deft touch and a wink and a nod to family values. It's not John Constantine here but try Cary Grant in Monkey Business. Battle of the Soul is a fine, fun supernatural read!" (Mort Castle, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of The Strangers)

Critic reviews

"Carl Alves does a masterful job in keeping the reader guessing. Battle of The Soul is one of those books that will stay with you!" (Armand Rosamilia, author of the Dying Days series)

"From the time when Jesus first confronted Legion by compelling a Demon to leave its human host in Christ's name, the world has been kept safe from the powers of evil. What happens when the Demons no longer fear God? Carl Alves has the chilling answer in Battle of the Soul, the most skin crawling, thought provoking descendant of The Exorcist I can imagine. With Battle of the Soul, Carl Alves completely reinvents and revitalizes the cliched Possession/Exorcism Horror Genre. Be afraid. Be very afraid. Satan is terrifying once again." (Ian Holt, coauthor of Dracula, The Undead)

A demonic story in cartoon format...

The Publisher's Summary intrigued me enough to give Battle of the Soul a chance. I'm not sure about you, but when I picture Andy Lorenzo in my head...I see actor Josh Gad. Anyways - I'll make this short - I loved the 1st half of the book. Unfortunately the 2nd half wasn't as intriguing. It has it's parts, but the 1st half was pretty amazing from the get go. I will get the 2nd half props for not doing what I expected of a certain character. Perhaps making the story a little bit more darker would have made this not simply good, but great. For example, when I picture the demons and the "other side". I would normally picture something similar to the film Constantine. Yet I was actually picturing these demonic identities in cartoon form. Either way I did enjoy the listen and I'm pretty sure you will too.

Really loved it!

I enjoyed the story and really enjoyed the performance, it sound a little like a cartoon but it didn't spoil it. The story has kinda a creepy feel to it, it has some twists and turns with an overall good story I really liked the book.

Nice change from the usual

I enjoyed the story and the twist away from a standard exorcism tale. I will look forward to more from this author.
