In a small New York town, an ancient demon has possessed a young girl. Different groups of people, including a team of paranormal investigators, a priest who once exorcised the demon from another child, and a defrocked priest with a dark secret, all must join forces to rid the town of the evil that is growing in it.
"Strap in tight for JG Faherty's THE WAKENING-it's a wild ride that spins through forty years of demonic possession, giving the traditional 'good versus evil' a 180-degree twist of the head when the saviors aren't so saintly, and the demon draws the characters in like moths to a flame that turns out to be a blow torch. Told in a countdown style that's effectively nerve-jangling, there's lots for horror lovers to chew on."
