Based on a true story of exorcism and paranormal events, this story's undercurrent is a dysfunctional relationship between Savaunah and her husband, Alex, that prompts Savaunah to blame God for her unhappiness and dares Him to prove he is real. The bizarre response takes the surreal to a whole other realm--literally.
In Michele Zirkle's debut novel, Rain No Evil, lead character Savannah needs more protection than her police officer husband can provide when a few demons infiltrate her life. As one demon soaks the interior of her home, another pops up in her mirror. Just knowing that an evil presence could be buried within her skin almost scares the hell right out of her. Almost. It takes a lady with divine light to do that.
"There's a rare honesty in the writing of Rain No Evil. After reading this story, I remembered everything that happened as though the events had actually happened to me. I've never experienced that before in a book, and I can tell you I have never been so pulled into a story as I have with this one. It can't be placed into a neat box of horror or suspense or supernatural. It is as original as it is fascinating. Wickedly funny, yet profoundly sincere and thought provoking. I loved it." - Michael Knost, Bram Stoker Award-winning editor and author of Return of the Mothman.

MY REVIEW
Savannah has
been unhappy in her marriage for a long, long time. No matter how hard she
tries, she can’t make her husband Alex show her any respect. She starts having
rendezvous’ with other men, looking for the acceptance and love she misses so
badly. This only makes her emptier with each encounter. She soon discovers this
emptiness has opened a door for an evil force to attach to her.
I expected this
story to lean more toward the paranormal, and it did, but what I wasn’t
expecting was so much dialog of Savannah’s exploits and thoughts. To me, she
actually seemed to be a sex addict. At times, I couldn’t understand her
actions, but I can’t say how I would react in that situation. Otherwise, it was
a great story that I enjoyed reading. I highly recommend it.
