Book Review: No Rest for the Wicked by Dane Cobain


Hello again, Today is the 1st of November, and do you know what November makes me think of? curling up with good books and warm drinks ♥ 
So today I'll review a book.. This review was sponsored by the author Dane Cobain, but the review is my honest opinion :)

First off, let me introduce the author:



Dane Cobain is a writer, poet and musician from a place you've probably never heard of, somewhere in England. When he's not writing books, he's reading and reviewing them on his book blog - SocialBookshelves.com - or working at his day job in social media marketing.

Book: No Rest for the Wicked




When the Angels attack, there’s NO REST FOR THE WICKED.

Father Montgomery, an elderly priest with a secret past, begins to investigate after his parishioners come under attack, and with the help of Jones, a young businessman with an estranged child, Montgomery begins to track down the origin of the Angels.

The Angels are naked and androgynous. They speak in a dreadful harmony with no clear leader. 
These aren’t biblical cherubs tasked with the protection of the righteous – these are deadly creatures of light that have the power to completely eradicate.

When Jones himself is attacked, Father Montgomery knows he has to act fast. He speaks to the Angels and organises a final showdown where he’s asked to make the ultimate sacrifice.

First line: 
"THEY GREW out of the darkness, mysterious shapes hiding in plain sight in abstract mockery of the senses."

This is the first time I was liking a book from the first line.. Most books I've read starts really boring and the good stuff starts happening towards the end

My opinion:
Before I read this book I thought it would be boring stuff about religion and bible and I won't relate to any of it (I'm not Christian)... but I was wrong.
The book consists of 41 chapters, each chapter is around 3 pages, and starts with a date. The dates are kinda confusing, but it did not affect me enjoying the story.
After finishing the second chapter, I got busy and couldn't read the book but was thinking about the it the whole time.

The story is kinda creepy, and that angelica kid, I don't like her, she scares me, and if that part was in a movie it would be amazing (and horrifying). I slept alone that night and was a bit terrified, but thankfully I didn't get nightmares.

What the angels are doing kinda reminds me of death note and how Yagami Light was playing god.

I would like it to become a movie ♥

Did I like the ending? Hmm.. I don't know. This is not what I wanted to happen, I actually hoped for it to never happen...


Rating: 5/5
