About this listen
But troubles are not unknown even at St. Isaac, where Ryan arrives to find the school awash in news of one student's violent death, another's mysterious disappearance, and growing incidents of disturbing behavior within the hallowed halls.
Things begin to change when Father Sebastian joins the faculty. Armed with unprecedented knowledge and uncanny skills acquired through years of secret study, the young priest has been dispatched on an extraordinary and controversial mission: to prove the power of one of the Church's most arcane sacred rituals, exorcism.
Willing or not, St. Isaac's most troubled students will be pawns in Father Sebastian's one-man war against evil - a war so surprisingly effective that the pope himself takes notice of the seemingly miraculous events unfolding an ocean away.
But Ryan, drawn ever more deeply into Father Sebastian's ministrations, sees - and knows - otherwise. As he witnesses with mounting dread the transformations of his fellow pupils, his certainty grows that forces of darkness, not divinity, are at work.
Evil is not being cast out...something else is being called forth. Something that hasn't stirred since the Inquisition's reign of terror. Something nurtured through the ages to do its vengeful masters' unholy bidding. Something whose hour has finally come to bring hell unto earth.
©2007 John Saul (P)2007 Brilliance Audio, Inc.Critic reviews
"Jim Bond proves a worthy choice for this production, particularly in portraying McIntyres frustration and turmoil, as well as the learned holiness of the school priests." ( AudioFile)

Story
Lush and deceptively tranquil, with its pristine beaches and blossoming vegetation, the island basks in splendid isolation off the South Carolina coast. Here, where sudden storms unleash the murderous rage of wind and sea, stands the Devereaux mansion, a once-great plantation house now crumbling amid ancient oaks dripping with Spanish moss. Here, Marguerite Devereaux, 50 and childless, has cast off her dreams to care for her aged, demanding mother.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
It ends in a weird way, but u are still entertained up until the end! Enjoy!

not the best-forced myself to finish
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
The bulk of the story is infused with supernatural suspense that is bafflingly cast aside by the end so if you're expecting a creepy, supernatural thriller, this will ultimately not prove very satisfying. In summary the first two thirds of the book gets 4 stars, the last third gets 1 star. If only I had quit while I was ahead.
Great build up but ...
