About Book: Cil Franklen wasn’t good. He wasn’t nice, liked, or thin. Hell, he wasn’t even handsome!

And soon, he wouldn’t even be HIM!

Some people get the chance to do good things: Bill Gates, Al Pacino, Einstein, Mother Teresa, Martin Luther King.

Given a little magic, people can be magical, but not Cil. He just wanted to kill. All life’s fog built up in him to the point of leaking out... but it wasn’t the pleasant puffy fog - it was dark and sickening.

Cil found a way to live again. And again, and again and again.

And he killed again. And again, and again, and, again.

REINCARNATION!

He did it!

Starting off slow in New York, Cil worked his way west. Hansel and Gretel left breadcrumbs to find their way, and Cil Franklen left bodies to lead his way.

Cil wound up in a small town with aplan to kill everyone in it. His breadcrumbs led Jacob Miller of the FBI straight to him, but the road there... well, that was the true Hell!

Cil Franklen was many. Jacob Miller was one. Follow them both - if you have the guts!

My Thoughts: Reincarnate" by Patrick Querney is my fist read of the genre 'Horror' and it was a compelling dive into the macabre world of Cil Franklen, a character who defies convention in the most chilling ways. The narrative unfolds like a dark symphony, weaving together themes of reincarnation, brutal murder, and a relentless pursuit of evil.

The author masterfully crafts a tale that keept me on the edge of my seat, skillfully blending elements of horror, suspense, and psychological intrigue. Querney's portrayal of Cil Franklen is both frightening and captivating, making him a character you'll love to hate. The relentless cycle of reincarnation and the dark fog that envelopes Cil's existence create a sense of foreboding that permeates the entire narrative.

The pacing of the story is well-executed, with a gradual buildup of tension that keeps the pages turning. The author's descriptive prose brings each scene to life, painting vivid images of both the eerie and mundane aspects of Cil's journey. From the bustling streets of New York to the quiet desperation of a small town, the settings play a crucial role in enhancing the overall atmosphere of the narrative.

The character dynamics, particularly between Cil Franklen and FBI agent Jacob Miller, add depth to the story. Jacob's pursuit of Cil is a rollercoaster ride through the abyss, and the tension between them is palpable. The plot twists and turns kept me guessing, and the unexpected revelations added layers of complexity to the narrative.

While the book is undeniably gripping, the relentless darkness might not be everyone's cup of tea. Some readers may find the graphic nature of the murders and the psychological exploration of the characters unsettling. However, for those who appreciate a deep dive into the darker realms of fiction, "Reincarnate" is a riveting read that will leave you questioning the boundaries between good and evil.
