Verum Malum takes us to dark places involving an alternate universe, demons, and a healthy dose of the occult. Collins does an excellent job with descriptors in this alternate universe he creates. He even manages to throw in some comedy as the seriousness of the scenes play out! There’s so much to this story and it’s written exceptionally well! The story held me captive from the Prologue!
Ben and Noah are a happy couple who are dealing with normal issues most couples face together. But Ben has a secret that he’s not told anyone about until his past comes back to haunt him.
Ben’s younger years had him involved in a cult who were trying to make contact with an ultimate evil even more powerful than the devil. The cult is trying again to make contact with this being, but needs everyone who made the initial pact together, including Ben.
The lust for power and knowledge beyond the human realm drives the cult leader to obtain what he wants, no matter the cost. Noah is determined to help Ben find a way out of this mess so that they can resume life like it was before. Will Noah and Ben make it through this ordeal? Go get your copy of Verum Malum and find out!
