brianmcbride's review against another edition
5.0
Cheesy, repetitive, and somewhat preach at times - Frantic did not disappoint, kept me turning the pages, and had me hooked from beginning to end.

I love thrillers. I love horror. I like the heart thumping reaction to reading the battle between good and evil.
This is an in-your-face type of story. Think Stephen King and Rose Red, think Dean Koontz and his supernatural stories, or how about House on Haunted Hill?
Those don't compare to the darkness that this book forces the reader to face.
One twist after another kept the pages turning. One breath stealing scene to another kept me glued to the words unfolding before me.
This isn't your run of the mill Christian fiction or Christian thriller. It is straight up horror for the adrenaline junkies. And like most all horror stories, good overcomes evil; evil never prevails; and in this story, God is in control of it all.
This is just one of many books by Mike Dellosso that proves to me that he is beyond a doubt a master storyteller. If I want a book that wears me out, forces me to keep the lights on, and causes me to triple check my locks, then he is my go-to guy.
