Rating:⭐⭐⭐⭐-(4/5)
Something dark is in the shadows. It's roaming. The footprints seem to be that of a beast, an extinct creature. What could it be? Unknowingly, the elements from the underworld have been let loose. The turn of events that take place is frightening and grim. A wife watches her husband eaten by hell bounds. Two children watch the complete devouring of their father. Now they're taken captives, what would unfold in the coming time?
Hell Holes: A Slave's Revenge, by Donald Firesmith, is a book to relish. Initially, the book’s length may scare one away. But the moment you begin, your only pause would be at the end of the book.
Donald is an undisputed firebrand wordsmith. I mean, it is evident in his name, Firesmith. He creates an impressive yet extraordinary world that evokes the minds of readers. His world-building is easily fragmented in the reader’s imagination as they proceed. The descriptions of the beasts and places in hell are striking and vivid. Indeed, the author’s writing style was crisp.
Unfortunately, there were some stalling moments. There were times when the descriptions kept going on for a while before one would reach the message of the story. This act brought a slight decline in the thrill of the book.
Nevertheless, the prominent themes of revenge, friendship, love, hate, and adventure are lapped equivocally in every corner of the book. As you read, you feel the harsh, hellish conditions Paul Chapman and his family face.
What begins as a story of identifying footprints turns into a dreary ride. Indeed, this book was worth the read. I am rating Hell Holes: A Slave's Revenge a 4 out of 5 stars. Fiction, horror, and adventure enthusiasts would take pleasure in this book.
