Beware the Demons Betrayed
“On one magnificently tortured hand, the reader will want to read it nonstop; on the other, the reader begs that the story never end so the thrill may be extended.” 5 star review on Amazon
To survive and stay a step ahead of the competition during the Wild West years, entrepreneurs had to cheat. So it was without compunction that one group of prospectors raised spirits of the dead to pinpoint the most profitable ore-bearing veins up for grabs in Colorado’s gold rush. But during one incantation they overstepped an unwritten rule, conjuring a demon that refused to go away.
Over a century later, the demon incarnate has resurfaced, only to wander the mountains while trying to regain its memory — and a purpose. But time is running out. The awakening has created a rift in the spiritual world, and to prevent a cataclysm, powerful magi converge on Colorado. But the one thing greater than the sorcerers’ fear of one of Hell’s mightiest roaming free is their hatred for one another, though little do they realize that the fiercest obstacle in their way is a sociopath high school teacher and Lorissa, a tough-minded woman who will do whatever necessary to protect her home and her family.
This story has a surprisingly innocuous beginning, following Lorissa and Craig as they buy a new home. Everything goes to hell pretty quickly thereafter. Between the pacing and evocative language with which Perkins writes, this story moves quickly. In fact, it’s downright gripping.

On one magnificently tortured hand, the reader will want to read it nonstop; on the other, the reader begs that the story never end so the thrill may be extended.
5 star review – Bernard Ourth
Rarely do you see a horror novel so well written or with such an in-depth, complex storyline. I hate to say it, many horror books are two-dimensional, quickly written works that tell a simple, but gruesome story. This book has some real meat to it. Stephen King would certainly approve.
