Will It Take a MONSTER to Find a Missing Prophet?

Satisfy your supernatural cravings with this intense and urban fantasy thriller from the author of the IAN 2016 Outstanding Paranormal/Supernatural book of the Year. Right at the beginning of The Prophet’s Mother trilogy, Julian M. Coleman weaves a haunting tale of parental loss, heartbreak, and sacrifice.

Evelyn Adamson isn’t ordinary. She’s a demigoddess pretending an everyday life as a single parent and flower shop owner. Her nine-year-old son Victor is called “prophet” by his classmates, a nickname he hates. Somehow his paranormal ability fails when someone kidnaps him.

Distraught, Evelyn uses her suppressed paranormal powers to hunt the snow-encased city for her beloved baby boy, and then suddenly, dead bodies pile up in the morgue.

Only one person can find the stolen prophet: the logical and determined Homicide Detective, Harry Kurosawa. But first, he must believe the unexplainable, or more people will die.

I'm a 2016 IAN Paranormal/Supernatural Award Winning author who grew up in Richmond, Virginia. My family was poor, but my imagination was rich. I suffered from bad dreams. I still dream about demons, but now those dreams provide the sauces to my stories.

By day I'm run-of-the-mill analyst grinding out data within a dark blue cubby, but by night I churn out horrific stories based on the demons that haunt me in nightmares.

I'm a Paranormal/Supernatural Award Winning author who grew up in Richmond, Virginia. As a child I suffered from night terrors. I'm sure you've heard of sleep paralysis which leaves you with the inability to move or speak. There are those of us who not only suffer the paralysis, but we see and hear horrible creatures. Most of the time, I had the good sense to keep my eyes closed. Yes, most of the time. Tell me, who wants to have nightmares about demons?

As I grew older, I realized some demons may not be hideous. To this day, I believe true evil is seductive, even beautiful. Unfortunately there are bad things you can't outgrow. You learn to cope. I did that by writing about demons who will sip your soul while giving you a kiss.

As an adult I also discovered that love transcends nightmares. I'm a dog lover and on several fortunate occasions my dogs entered my dream realm and saved me. The author in me couldn't resist, so in addition to writing about seductive demons, I've penned a tale about a mischievous pooch. If you want a chuckle then read about my canine diva. But...you may want to take a darker path with me. You may want to meet my demons. If that's the case, then I want you to be scared with me. Is that wrong? I don't just want to scare you, though. I want you to care about my characters. Because if you care about them, then you will be afraid for them too. Who knows, you could have nightmares about beautiful demons, too.

Amazing!

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. I went through a stage, in my early teens, where everything I read involved a child who killed people. I loved those stories so much! So when I saw this I really wanted to read it. I knew this was a horror story from the blurb, and I wanted to see if I would still find enjoyment in the twisted type of tale I read as a child. And while this isn't that type of story, it left me with the same feeling of exhilaration. The anxiety of not knowing what was going to happen next, followed by finding myself trying to read faster because the anxiety was stealing my breath. I loved the cult-like religious undertone to the story. This story was an imaginative, original, magical ride that was full of wonderful detail. There were so many twists and turns I didn't see coming. I am definitely going to read the rest of this series, and more books by this author.

An Interesting Supernatural Thriller

Reviewed in the United States on February 5, 2023

This was my first experience with Julian M. Coleman's work, and it was unusual. At first the story seemed erratic as it moved from character to character and jumped from scene to scene without any connective points, but by the end my interest was piqued. I am looking forward to the next book in the series. Sara Luke's narration was fine as she had a lovely voice, but I thought her performance lacked expressiveness. I was given a free copy of the audiobook through Spotify, and I've voluntarily posted this review.

An iintresting take on human origins

Reviewed in the United States on May 16, 2023

Coleman presents an alternate creation myth complete with deities who influence the lives of the human characters in modern society. The characters have dimension and clarity and the narrative gradually exposes facets of their histories and personalities. I felt that the development of the spiritual characters and their relationship with the human people did not have enough depth for the reader to invest in that alternate “reality” and understand the actions and emotions of the characters. As a result, this interferes with a strong connection between the reader and the story.
I got this book in audiobook format. Errors in pronunciation by the narrator tend to distract from the atmosphere of the story.

I received this book for free in exchange for my honest review. The writing and plotline are mediocre at best. I wouldn't waste my time or money on this. Hopefully the author will get better with time and experience.
