5.0 out of 5 stars Makes you stop and think., April 14, 2008

By	Ellen (MA/FL - USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Angel Hunter (Hardcover)

I just finished your book. It took me a while to read it, as I had to
stop and think about some of it quite a bit. My comment is WOW! I
have done a lot of reading and am familiar with some of the books you
had mentioned. I also believe the premise that we only "reap what we
sow" in this world of ours. But now I have to go out and get hold of
a couple more so that I can answer some of the questions your book has
raised.

My hope for your book is three-fold. One, I hope everyone enjoyed it
as much as both my husband and I did, two, that it makes people stop and think about their beliefs, and their lives and the world we live in,
and three - that it's a fantastic seller!

Anyway, we both really enjoyed it, and have had a few conversations
about it. I really can't wait for The Tantalus Key.

5.0 out of 5 stars Victoria Hunter is awakening to her divinity, March 18, 2008

By	Reader Views "www.readerviews.com" (Austin, Texas) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Angel Hunter (Hardcover)

Reviewed by Paige Lovitt for Reader Views (3/08)

Victoria Hunter has not had a good year. First, her beloved husband dies in a tragic skydiving accident. Shortly afterwards, miraculously, she finds out that she is pregnant with twins. When they are three-months old, she discovers that she has intruders in her home. They are there to kidnap her babies. She fights for them, but there is a strong evil presence involved and she loses them. The evil makes her forget them. When Victoria's mother discovers they are gone, she calls the police. Victoria realizes that there is something wrong, and she struggles to remember. She gets placed in a mental institution. At first they think she has post-partum psychosis, but when chilling events occur, her psychiatrist knows there is something happening on a deeper level.

Victoria is desperate to find her babies. She feels called to Notre Dame in Indiana. There is a grotto there on the campus that is supposed to contain the souls of the damned. The grotto has been breached; a priest there heard their cries and knows that Victoria's babies have passed through. Victoria's creation, and those of her twins, was not the typical one. She has to enter into the grotto to find her children. Entering into this hell-like place, she discovers her inner strength and has to fight the evil trying to suck her in and destroy her.

"The Angel Hunter" is an incredible story. On a scale of 1 to 5, it is a ten. J. A. Leary has done a remarkable job with writing this supernatural thriller. He uses science, psychology, history and a touch of the divine to pull the reader into his world. Many times I found myself with chills and goose bumps as I read. As a supernatural thriller, this is a phenomenal book, yet underneath it all is an even greater message to be conveyed to the reader. The message teaches us about the divine that is in us all, and the pain that comes when we distance ourselves from it. I absolutely loved this aspect of "Angel Hunter," because it made me reach beyond the story to look within myself and where I am at.

In the appendix of "The Angel Hunter," Leary lists books that the reader can use as resources to help with their own awakening. He states that Victoria's story is a journey, "of enlightenment coming through extreme suffering...her pain is something that we can all identify with on some level." I cannot wait to read further books by this author.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a PAGE TURNER !!!!!!!, February 14, 2008

By	Karen R. Storms - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Angel Hunter (Hardcover)

OK !!!!!!!! It's been along time since I have hated to put a book down, but this book is such a PAGE TURNER !!! What a story !!!! I wanted to keep reading, yet, I also didn't want to get to the end of the book, because I would have finished it. This is THAT GREAT of a READ !!! The reader gets very involved in the storyline because the author doesn't miss anything in his descriptions of the characters, settings or thoughts...he covers it all so beautifully. I must have said at least 10 times to my husband, "OH, my gosh...!" and "You have to read this !"
If you enjoy the super-natural, you believe another 'force' is a posibility, you have loved someone so much you would do anything for them, this book is for you. Since the sequal is not out yet, I am going to re-read this one again. With pleasure.
