Excerpt from Alex Slozzo's blog site (Review of REAPER'S RAIN: Be aware that the world described within these pages is dark, violent and desolate, and there are scenes with tough language, whether it comes from vile human beings or Satan himself. Quite an act of courage on the part of the author, whose background as a law enforcer familiarized him with coarseness on different levels. Also, there is a fair share of graphic scenes, racial slurs(it's the South, after all, and sadly, racism is still alive and well), sexuality, so for those of you looking for a Sunday-school read, you won't find it here. For those who like their Christian fiction way on the gritty side, this is a 10-star read! Thank you, Mr. Davis! Killer of a job!
