I did not read the first and I do wish I had. I will definitely go back now and read but I think this would have been much better if I had read the first book before reading this but even so, it was very good, in fact excellent. This book kept me turning pages to the end!

Superhero Detective Tommy Nolan returns in Death Cult, the follow-up to Hell Spawn. To my mind most sequels don’t deliver on the promise of the first installment. So, does it hold up or is the series dragged into a sophomore slump? Death Cult not only succeeds where many sequels fail, it doubles down on everything I loved about the first book. It might actually be better than Hell Spawn. A very nice surprise.
After the events of Hell Spawn, Tommy “I’m Not a Saint, Saints are Dead!” Nolan is dealing with the fallout: obnoxious legal issues, Internal Affairs, moving to a new house, the media predictably portraying Nolan as a villainous psychopath… and, oh yeah, the death cult that Nolan foiled wants him and his family dead. From the opening home invasion to the final action scene, Declan Finn doesn’t give you the chance to get bored.
Along with the death cult we get a fun take on the zombie genre. I hate the zombie genre, generally, but (thank God) there’s no overdone undead cannibalism here. No, instead we are given a Bond villain-esque voodoo witch doctor and his lifeless puppets. Much better. And that’s not all. Detective Nolan still must contend with normal human villains that seemed ripped from today’s headlines. Seriously, sometimes you feel like you’re reading current events and not an urban fantasy laced with horror.
Nolan loses none of the charm he had in Hell Spawn. He is quickly becoming one of my favorite action heroes. There’s no moping or shoegazing to be had here. Saint Tommy doesn’t do depressing, and his constant incredulity over people being unsurprised by his saint-like qualities is always amusing. We get to see some new developments with his powers, as well as some intriguing limitations. Declan Finn does fun and he does it well. Well enough that this series has become one of my go-to recommendations. Death Cult even leaves you with a fun twist. It left me chuckling and wanting the next installment.
If you like a good pulp / action / horror / urban fantasy story, you can’t do much better.

Tommy has to fight for more than himself, they want to kill Tommy and his wife, Mariel, and son, Jeremy. But Tommy and his family were prepared and had a plan, The plan worked. They were all safe. But it was only the beginning of relentless attacks against them.
Tommy’s faith and the abilities given to him by God were of vital importance in the skills needed to survive the difficulties put before them. But how long and how many attacks before things broke down? Together with his family, his partner and some unusual “friends,” Tommy fought the extraordinary attackers in one of his most evil battles. The body parts of aborted babies were being used for personal gain by the members of a highly successful abortion clinic. This could not continue.
Would Tommy succeed in destroying this dreadful death cult? Could he stop the perpetrators from destroying him and his family? Check out this book. It is well-written and the characters are wonderful. I have enjoyed every one of the books in this series. They are all exciting, immersive and believable. Come, face the demons.
This action horror novel is through the roof! Crazy stuff!
