IndierReader Approved -- 4.2 out of 5 stars...

Brothers clash, seeking mercy and redemption, with the help — and hindrance — of divine intervention in Diane M. Johnson’s PROPHET REBORN, the sequel to PERFECT PROPHET.

...Johnson...delivers a detailed portrait of two brothers in spiritual crisis. Lucas struggles to redeem his past, while Alec is crushed by responsibilities (both divine and earthly)... Both brothers ultimately get what they need, but not without great personal sacrifice... Spiritual questions abound in PROPHET REBORN, from Reverend Light’s religion-for-profit to Reverend Adonis’s religion-for-power. Alec and Lucas may be sinners, but they don’t deserve the existential torment heaped upon them. Johnson’s God can be cruel, and, at times, as terrifyingly indifferent as any of Lovecraft’s unholy deities... The heavens pass down buckets of wormy mud, and it is up to the recipient to make mud pies, sand castles, or sift through it carefully, searching for flecks of precious metal.

Sympathetic characters and strong pacing make PROPHET REBORN, the sequel to PERFECT PROPHET, a white-knuckle thrill ride.

In this supernatural sequel, a faith healer and his son become targets of a dangerous, misguided man searching for redemption.

As part of a satanic cult’s prophecy, a man named Lucas attempted to kill death-metal guitarist Alec Lowell. But Alec survived and became a popular evangelical faith healer. Lucas escaped arrest and lived on the streets until finding surprising solace at a Christian commune somewhere in the Southwestern United States. Now he believes that to prove his “spiritual worth,” he’ll have to save someone...

The author sets a brisk momentum by quickly diving into the story, making reading the first book a virtual necessity. A frenzied final act and an unexpected turn deliver a bracing ending that seemingly hints at a third installment.

A dark but exhilarating tale of black magic and religious fanatics. -- Kirkus Reviews

...Author Diane M. Johnson has created a highly engaging and disturbing horror novel that ticks plenty of boxes for fans of the genre. One of the things I particularly liked about this novel was the close psychological focus on the central figure, which allows us to get into his head and see where things are going to go wrong even before they happen. This creates a wonderful sense of dread which, combined with the use of imagery and disturbing themes, gives you an edge-of-your-seat feeling throughout the reading process...Overall, I would definitely recommend Prophet Reborn for fans of the first book in the series, but also for intense horror fans in general. -- Readers' Favorite
