Description
A quiet Tennessee town. A pair of gruesome murders. A warlock with secrets centuries old.
Gabriel Radu seems like an ordinary man in the small Southern town of Denmark -- if you overlook the antebellum mansion, the centuries of accumulated occult knowledge, and the fact he's over three hundred years old. As the patriarch-in-waiting of a powerful magical family, Gabriel tries to keep his head down, help his neighbors, and avoid any supernatural trouble.
But trouble has a way of finding him.
When Sheriff Billy McCain shows up at Gabriel's door with photos of two homeless men murdered in brutal, ritualistic fashion, it's clear this is no ordinary crime. Both bodies bear an ancient mark -- an arcane Romanian symbol tied to a legend Gabriel hoped was long dead and buried: the Soul Taker. A fallen seraph with a hunger for human souls.
As visions plague him and brimstone haunts the air, Gabriel digs deep into his family's forbidden knowledge, uncovering signs that something truly evil has awoken. With the lives of his family -- and perhaps his entire town -- at risk, he'll have to embrace every magical gift at his disposal. Because the Soul Taker has returned, and it won't stop until it's fed.
Fans of Jim Butcher and Patricia Briggs will love The Soul Taker, a richly layered supernatural mystery full of dark legends, Southern gothic charm, family bonds, and a uniquely modern warlock hero.
What Readers are saying:
"If you like paranormal and you like mysteries then you are going to love this book! J.R. Rain and Aiden James have come up with a fantastic paranormal mystery series that will keep you enthralled. There are a lot of twists and turns to keep you turning pages to see what happens next. It is a must-read for sure!" -- Amazon review
"The story is fast-paced with great descriptions of the characters, witty dialogues and entertaining details. I don't want to give away too much about the plot, but this book concentrates on the magical Radu family's encounter with a Soul Taker attempting to bring hell to Denmark, TN -- in a quite literal sense. This was a great first book in the series and I can't wait for its continuation!" -- Amazon review
"Fantastic work! Truly a page turner, love the way you wove magic into this book. I thoroughly enjoyed reading about the two families and their struggles to get along with each other. I am eagerly waiting to read the next book in series!" -- Amazon review
"Mr. James and Mr. Rain have again combined their story telling prowess to bring their fans another bestselling story. The Soul Taker is a 'bridge' book. It bridges a previous Aiden James series, Clash of Covens, and the new Gabriel Files series. The story is still based in Denmark, Tennessee, so it was easy to go from past to present without too many pauses. I like the mix of supernatural and 'mundane' in the story and how Mr. James and Mr. Rain can make the story move and keep my attention (I have a very short attention span when it comes to reading). I like the way they build the tension, excitement, and guessing until the final few chapters. They then allow the story to settle and make its final moments happy, sad, and ready for the next book in this new series. Thank you Mr. James and Mr. Rain for your great storytelling." -- Amazon review
"Another James and Rain home run. I thoroughly enjoyed reading The Soul Taker. I thought the story was well crafted and the character development went along nicely. Was able to read it at a good pace with little breaks as it flowed nicely and held my interest. Bring on book two! Great job you guys." -- Amazon review
