The Walker’s Daughter Book Review

As Submitted to FanboysAnonymous.com

Readers, Isn’t it fitting that, a week after my Noah review, I picked this book up. It’s strange the way it came together really. I guess you really don’t have any idea yet, but this book asserted the most odd interpretation of the few words allowed into bible that have to do with the odd Book of Enoch.

Interestingly enough, our main character and her daughter, family still mourning the loss of a husband and father, are what you would call walkers. They have an uncanny ability to leave their bodies whenever they choose, projecting their”selves” into a spirit plain where only they can see each other or see average people that can not see them. Talk about an advantage over others. Only, Cora, mom and main character, has not “walked” in a very long time, because of something that occurred during her childhood, something she is afraid could repeat itself. These evil and frightening memories are owned by a massive man; a man with silver hair, a killer.

I never would have put two and two together and arrived at the conclusion that the idea of the walkers was drawn from the few words spoken of Enoch in the bible if not for the help of the author, or at least without reading much further into the book. For those of you that remember, “Enoch walked with The Lord all of his days and then was taken into heaven.” This book really gives “walking” a definition and one that I found impressive.

As little Grace and Cora continue to blossom from their hard shells of mourning, or lack thereof, in Cora’s case, they begin to meet others like themselves and, eventually, Cora is moved to walk again. After breaking her promise never to walk again, will she meet with this evil man from her past again? The odds say no, but Cora knows better. The man with the silver hair has been waiting.

At this point, the book really takes off into another realm where religion and urban fantasy mesh together in harmony and and the “offspring is” one of the best ideas for an Urban Fantasy book I’ve read. Janet Allison Brown is a fine author. She has allowed her mind to fabricate an authentic new idea and has given it to her soul to pen. Read up, you won’t regret it. Tell me what you think downstairs.

Indie?
