Betrayal and Revenge

SINS OF THE FATHERS by S. Gepp is another great offering from Grinning Skull Press. A group of friends, who call themselves the Round Table, discover a book filled with dark rituals. In their private school they are able to manipulate other students, giving them a taste of power rarely felt among the "nerds." However, they are reduced to insignificant plebs when they begin their university years. One young man in the group, Francis, discovers love, but instead of enjoying his happiness, he is forced to choose his friends over Chelsea.

The author reveals the details of the past and present by switching between events in 1991 and 2012. This gives readers the feeling they are reading two different stories linked only by the same characters. In 1991 setting,readers are introduced to a group of young men who dabble in the dark arts to achieve their personal desires. In 2012, the young men are fathers who would do anything to protect their loved ones, once they realize their children are being hunted by a victim of their past.

Gepp does an excellent job mixing family drama and paranormal horror to create a heartbreaking crime thriller. Fans of Stephen King's IT and SOMETIMES THEY COME BACK are sure to enjoy reading this story of betrayal and revenge.

As always,
