Sorrow's Point (Revised with New Publisher)

Danielle Devor presents a supernatural thriller centered on Jimmy Holiday, a defrocked ex-priest who agrees to assist an old friend with his sick daughter. The narrative unfolds at the Blackmoor residence, located on the outskirts of town, a setting defined by a history of magic, mayhem, and death. Jimmy must determine whether Lucy is merely ill or suffering from a genuine haunting and apparent possession. As the story progresses, the house begins to affect Jimmy directly. He witnesses colors of magic dancing before his eyes and encounters rooms warded by a witch. A ring of power emerges in his voice, and a transient informs him that he bears "the Mark." Despite not knowing what this designation entails, Jimmy remains focused on helping Lucy. This goal forces him to perform an exorcism, an act he swore never to undertake again. The narrative voice blends insight with self-deprecation and sincerity, as noted by Publisher's Weekly. The book suits readers interested in Catholic folklore, rural gothic settings, and characters grappling with lost faith. It may not appeal to those seeking traditional horror or fast-paced action without emotional depth. Devor’s work examines the weight of past vows against present necessity. Jimmy’s journey raises questions about survival and spiritual integrity. The text does not offer easy answers regarding the nature of the evil at Blackmoor. Readers will follow Jimmy as he confronts forces that challenge his sanity and his soul. The conclusion hinges on whether he can save the child while preserving his own humanity.
