Mixing alternate history and fantasy, this book lives up to the lovely cover. It starts back in WWII when we ended up winning the war by letting another being called the Shaitan possess/take over our bodies. This was strictly volunteer but in return the weak would be strong, the sick would be well, the handicap would be sturdy. At least that is what is believed on the outside but inside dark secrets lurk. As time passes there is an inner battle among the believers and non-believers, monsters vs humans, half-breeds against pure-bloods. In the middle of all this is a detective whose soul gets possessed only to save the one thing on earth he truly loves... his daughter.
I really enjoyed this story. It had great artwork to go along with it. Here's hoping that volume 2 comes out soon.
