St. Peter's Monsters is the story of Peter Sullivan, a homesick college student teetering on the edge of alcoholism. He discovers bigger monsters than the bottle when a mysterious young woman enters his life. Wren has fled Peter's beloved Appalachian hills and now he must find out why she is keeping secrets about her past. As they turn to each other for comfort, they are linked together in a chain of love, tragedy, and murder . . . a chain that binds them when they find themselves back in the haunted shadows of the Virginia coalfields.

This review is from: St. Peter's Monsters (Kindle Edition)
I really enjoyed Neva's book and am looking forward to reading more. I liked the way the story was told going from past to present. I liked the theme of angels as well it fit nicely with the story and left the reader with a great image as a take away. The characters are so well developed you feel their emotions for better or worse. I am looking forward to Neva's next book!

St. Peter's Monsters by Neva Bryan,
This review is from: St. Peter's Monsters (Kindle Edition)
An impressive, well-written, and fast-paced novel. Being from SW VA myself, I can really relate to the vivid mountain imagery, both geographically and the food. For instance, soup beans with green onions sound ideal to me. Wren's birthday is on Halloween, with its rich fall descriptions and caramel birthday cake. I especially like the "stars are angels that watch over us" theme. Well done, Neva. I look forward to your next one.
