Book Review ~ The Empowered (A Trevor Black Novel) by Craig Parshall

The Empowered is the second Trevor Black Novel by Craig Parshall. Trevor Black is an ex-attorney hired to aid in the investigation of a missing girl in New Orleans. What starts as a seemingly simple missing person's case quickly reveals itself to be the stepping stone into a sinister world of demonic proportions involving voodoo rituals, human sacrifices, and child trafficking.

Gifted with the ability to sense demons, Trevor Black finds himself thrust headfirst into the battle between Heaven's armies and Satan's hellish plans quickly descending on life in the bayou. Aided by his recently discovered but long-lost daughter, Trevor must unravel the sinister plot being set forth, while fighting to clear his own name from evil implications. As the stakes rise, he finds his faith and sanity both questioned, and he must decide how far he is willing to sacrifice his own comforts in order to stand tall and honor the Lord.

This book is a fast paced suspense/thriller novel that touches on spiritual warfare, demonic influences, voodoo cults, and sexual exploitation while trying to solve a grizzly murder case and avoid legal entrapment. I'd recommend The Empowered to those who like thrillers that reinforce the omnipotent sovereignty of God and His will. It's also worth noting that, while being the second book in a series, this book is a suitable stand-alone read. 3/5 stars.
