Review: A Shadow Over Haven (Nick Holleran Series #4) by David Green

August 29, 2024 by Alan Behan Leave a Comment

Rating: 9.5/10

Synopsis

Ever heard the saying, “Careful what you wish for?” The phrase is about to take on a whole new meaning for Haven’s one-and-only Paranormal Investigator, Nick Holleran…

In the months since ‘One Life Left’ and his reality-spinning showdown with Lilith and the Sin-Eater, Nick Holleran has spent the time making new friends and forging alliances across the realms of Hell. But when an innocuous relic-hunt on behalf of the elusive Collector proves to be more than it seems, Nick’s new normal becomes twisted beyond reason.

His foundations crumbling, and his relationships with both his girlfriend Rosa, and eternal ghost-teen Diana, tested beyond what’s reasonable, Nick has no choice but to go on the attack, or Hell will change forever… And not for the better. Revelations are uncovered, mysteries unlocked, and, even when the stakes are unimaginable, there’s snark. Good old-fashioned snark.

Look, it’s Nick Holleran. You ever heard that other saying? “The more things change…

If you enjoy “Supernatural” and the “Dresden Files”, you’ll be captivated by this paranormal detective series.

Review

Damn this is my favourite of the Nick Holleran series, yet all are brilliant, but this one tops the lot. Slick Nick and his sidekick ghost kid Diana are back with a double bang and causing all sorts of trouble in hell for the supernatural beings, in this fantastic supernatural paranormal blockbuster of series.

A Shadow Over Haven is the fourth book in the Nick Holleran series by David Green and this story just gets better and better with each book as the author brings us on another roller coaster ride into the city of Haven and a dip into hell.

Told from a first person perspective, Nick Holleran is one of those characters that you can’t help but love but would love to give him a kick in the hole because he can be such an ass at times. Well, I suppose if you died and came back and had a manner of all demons, death and Gangsters after you, you probably would be too…😂

I love David Greens writing. It’s creative and witty, his worldbuilding, and plot making draws you in hook line and sinker. I absolutely the dark setting he has created for us fans of the Supernatural to get lost in. From the get-go, David Green really knows how to grip his readers with suspense as you are thrown straight into an action-packed showdown from the very first chapter of every book, and it’s bloody fantastic.

If you love a good supernatural detective story, then look no further than this wonderful series. Full of hilarious moments, lots of twists and turns, and the characters are so fun and so relatable. Whether they be ghosts, demons, Lucifer, Irish Gangsters or hard ass cops, you will absolutely love them all even if their trying to destroy the world.

After the end of One Life Left and surviving Liliths fae realm. Nick Holleran and his ghost kid Diana find themselves in another sticky situation in the abandoned Forest View Hotel’s lobby as a blood ritual and an old nemesis has gone a step too far using the Septer of Metatron, creating a Chtulhu God and it’s trying to drag it’s way into Haven, but not on Nicks watch.

With Metatrons Septer in hand, Nick finds himself addicted to its pull. It can change reality, and when the higher dieties feel it has come into play, everyone wants in on the action. Nick is playing a dangerous game and must keep it safe and from falling into the wrong hands, but for how long before all things go to hell, literally.

Absolutely awesome read, I just can’t get enough of this series. I can’t wait for the next instalment Infernos Child. If you haven’t checked out David Greens books yet, then I very highly recommend that you do…😁💙💀⚡️👹
