“I received an advance review copy of this book from Netgalley and the publisher, and am leaving this review voluntarily.
First off, the premise for The Holy Terrors was good, and on paper, I should have loved it. Instead, I just didn't. The relationships between the characters felt forced and were unbelievable. They knew each other for maybe 8 hours or so and acted as if at least months had passed in that time. This book is 192 pages long and 85% of it was dialogue that felt like it had been reused every 15-20 pages. As a result, this story felt overlong. I feel that the story could have been heavily cut and made into a 50-60 page novella and would have been more impactful. It's going to be 1.5 stars from me.”

“The Holy Terrors is the start of Simon R Green's new series dealing with supernatural mysteries. The novel follows Alistair a bishop, Diana an actress, Toby a comedian, Indira a celebrity chef, Leslie a medium, and lastly June host and producer for the show Spooky Times. The characters are investigating the most haunted town hall in England, locked in for a night of frights.
I have been a fan of Simon R Green's since his Secret Histories series. and the summary for this seemed right up my alley. I have to say the author missed the mark for me. It still has the witty writing I have come to expect from the author but the dialogue takes up most of the book which detracts from giving an eerie atmosphere for the book. I didn't get a feel that they were in any real danger even when people had died. And the quick father/daughter relationship between Indira and Toby was not believable for me. I don't know maybe I am too used to the author's more fantasy heavy novels but this novel was not for me.
Thank you to Net Galley and the publisher for an ARC for The Holy Terrors.”

“What an absolute ride this book was. It gave me all the creepy and eerie vibes that I thought it would. I devoured this in 5 hours, a great story and really likeable characters that make you want to cheer them on! I honestly didn't know what to believe, and when the ending finally revealed its secrets, I was relieved but shocked. Definitely check this one out, released on February 6th, 2024.
I received an ARC copy from @netgalley in exchange for an honest review.”
