The Demon Plague by Joreid McFate is a fantastic paranormal science fiction thriller, involving time travel and mysticism. This 424-page book is also available in eBook format.

Due to the volume of books I review, most are donated to our local library when the allocation is complete. However, this is a book that I simply cannot part with. I felt it’s important to mention this comment, because only 0.04% of the books I review make it to my personal bookshelves.

This exciting story begins when a plague of demons devastates humanity, caused when some scientists developed a technology that mastered time travel. There are factions that radically seek a path to racial and genetic purity, while others strive to cure the plague and fight for basic human rights. Crystal Patience Gladstone Donovan is drawn into this war when she, on her grandmother’s deathbed, is given a family heirloom and told that she is the ‘Star’ and that she must wait for her ‘Moon’. .

Soon she is involved in a trip to the past where she meets her ancestor Patience Gladstone Talbot, another ‘Estrella’. Crystal learns that her middle names are common over time, as they are given to the gifted child who is known by a birthmark. Chase scenes, deceit, battles, back and forth to the past and future are stepping stones for Crystal and her friends in their attempts to do the right thing.

This story could be used as an excellent reminder of the dangers and great possibilities that advanced technology could bring. It was refreshing to experience realistic female hero characters in this novel. I was absolutely flabbergasted when I read that not only is Joreid McFate actually two separate authors, but despite many other collaborative projects, they never met and never spoke on the phone!

Without hesitation, I recommend The Demon Plague with the highest rating.
