Prey Without Ceasing by Andrew Franks

4.0

This book was a highly anticipated read for me. I had been looking forward to it for a long time!

Prey Without Ceasing by Andrew Franks is touted as a Bible Belt horror. The first of its kind as far as I know. However, definitely the most relatable - even if there are others out there! I would give this a 3.5/5⭐️ overall. I cannot wait to read book two — which I already own. Hahaha. This book did a brilliant job of capturing what it’s like to be a teen in southern church culture plus all the pitfalls & confusion that comes along with it. Might help that, for once, an author knows what they’re talking about on this subject.

Dalton is a preacher’s son. He’s not the stereotypical “rebel without a care” type we’re used to seeing in books. Instead, he tries to follow every rule to the T. Every family - especially Pastor Gary Folmer’s - has secrets. Dalton’s little brother, James, has been kidnapped by a truly evil witch. What would you do? You’d go through hell & high water, right? That’s exactly what Dalton does to a gripping extent!

Gary Folmer is a scary man. He has fire and brimstone flowing out of him…at church & at home. This family is about to understand the true meaning of sinister.
