Synopsis

THE BOOK OF DEMONS

Book Two in the Jack Kelly Series
BookLife Editor’s Pick

Jack Kelly survived the dead.
Now he must face something far worse.

A shapeshifting necromancer known as Mr. Philips walks freely between the world of the living and the realm of the dead—and he has discovered a cursed painting powerful enough to tear them apart.

When the artist is found dead and the painting vanishes, a merciless hunt begins.

But Jack finds it first.

Haunted by voices from the dead, Jack knows the painting’s true power—and what will happen if it falls into the wrong hands. With only two unlikely allies—a nonverbal autistic child and the spirit of a nun once accused of witchcraft—he is pulled into a violent supernatural war across a shadow-soaked 1980s New York City.

As the body count rises, Jack uncovers a terrifying truth:

Stopping Mr. Philips may cost him everything…including the people he loves.

A BookLife Editor’s Pick, The Book of Demons is a gripping blend of urban fantasy and horror—an eerie, suspense-driven journey through a world where the dead whisper, the living lie, and the line between them is breaking.
