Product Description

They're coming. They are a race of sadistic spirits known as the Curburide, and they are about to arrive in our world, bringing with them horrors beyond imagination. The secret to summoning -- and controlling -- them has fallen into the hands of a beautiful, sexy and dangerously insane woman.

Ariana has dedicated her life to unleashing the demons in our realm through a series of human sacrifices, erotic rituals of seduction and slaughter. As she crosses the country, getting ever closer to completing her blood-drenched mission, only three figures stand in her way: Joe, an unwilling hero who has seen the horrors of the Curburide before, Alex, a burgeoning witch ... and a spiteful demon with plans of his own.



From the Publisher

In this sequel to Covenant, a sexy sociopath has found the way to bring a race of demons into our world -- through ritual human sacrifice. As she cuts a bloody path across the country, only one other demon -- Malachai -- holds the key to stopping her.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sacrifice turns it up!, July 11, 2009
By Erik Smith "ronin57" (North Ridgeville, Ohio) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I have only read two books by John Everson, Covenant, which was a good, solid horror novel, and Sacrifice, which takes what Everson did in Covenant, and turns it up to 11. More sex, more violence, and frenetic pacing that doesn't let up. Fully developed characters push the horrifying plot forward in a blood drenched, cross country chase that ends...well, I don't want to give anything away.Covenant made me a John Everson fan. Sacrifice made me a fanatic.

5.0 out of 5 stars This Can't Be the End!, October 17, 2009
By Lincoln Crisler "Fiction Writer" (http://lincolncrisler.info) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book pissed me off royally. Sacrifice continues the story Everson began in Covenant (also reviewed). Joe Kieran, now possessed by Malachi, the demon haunting the town of Terrel in the first book, teams up with a young, inexperienced witch to stop the beautiful, deadly Ariana from raising the Curburide, the demons Malachi had originally been summoned to stop decades ago.

I refuse to say it finishes the story, however. I don't want to believe John's going to let Kieran's (and Alex') story end with the final chapter of Sacrifice. I guess that's a testament to Everson's skill, really; I want these characters to have happy endings, to score a win that's not bittersweet, and well... I don't want to give the book away, but let's just say the title is apt. Every main character in the book makes a sacrifice of one sort of another. And I'm not pleased about it.

The rapport between Joe and Malachi is amusing at times, the borderline-forbidden relationship between Alex and Joe grows in small, tantalizing doses and Ariana... well, I almost wouldn't mind being sacrificed by her. The book moves along at a fast pace and Everson even manages a couple of twists I didn't quite see coming. He just might be my favorite Leisure author.

Pick up Sacrifice. Pick up Covenant first, if you haven't already (you could get by without it, but you shouldn't). You won't be sorry you did. I have to say, though, that if Everson doesn't have Part Three in the works already, I hope all his beer goes flat for the rest of his life. 9/10.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sacrifice, July 8, 2009
Sacrifice was a riveting, involving story about a man confronted with an ancient evil and his own sacrifices he had to make to keep the evil spirit at bay. It made me afraid to visit cliffs ever again! John Everson was not afraid to stretch the boundries on the perverse, livid ways the demons forced people to get off, but he kept it tasteful without resorting to pornography. I would recommend this novel to any horror reader. With so many scary novels being silly, this talented new author has blazed the way for more new writers to stretch the politically correct limits and put out fierce stories that really do frighten, whether it's a comfortable fright or not. Since when is horror cozy?
