Jared Helm is transported out-of-body to mystifying destinations. One evening, his imperceptible spirit embarks on a journey to an amazing castle bordering the ocean. Though the importance of the venture eludes him at first, he eventually learns that the castle is the stomping ground of a murderous sect abducting people for ritual sacrifice. Jared and some trustworthy friends and colleagues delve further into the inner workings of the group. However, meddling proves perilous when the young woman he loves becomes targeted.
An offshoot of the English and Irish Hellfire Clubs of old, the evil cult’s castle is located on the seacoast of lower Maine. The group’s fanatical Master, whose lineage reaches back to royalty and to rapscallion leaders of old, stops at nothing in his quest to please Satan. And although the previous clubs were known for wild and toxic behavior, this one takes those traits to malevolent heights. It’s all about power, greed, devil worship, sexual perversion, drugs, and murder.
The Three Doors sends readers on a paranormal rollercoaster of horror and thrills, into the astral plane of existence that’s invisible to most yet entered frequently by those who dare. But beware: it’s not for young minds, the thin-skinned, or the vulnerable. Though trouble hits home quickly, the story gets deeper and more sinister when the New England seasonal change enters the autumnal equinox on the approach to Samhain
The Three Doors is an intense story about good versus evil; a story that will give you goose bumps and have the hair on the back of your neck stand up. It is a disturbing thriller about the occult and its power it can have over weak and power-hungry people.
The images that this book brought to my mind were very creep, to say the least. Demons are peering at you from dark and hidden places. I got could just picture it in my mind. However, the characters of Jared, Iris, Eric and the others save you from complete darkness. Their strong sense of goodness and morals saved them from true evil. They can’t be corrupted. I liked that these characters are not yet adults but still have inner strength so strong that they can defeat evil.
The villains of this book are truly evil. There is no redemption for them. They pay for their complete depravity. Joe and Alex are examples of what a desire for power can do to a person. It totally corrupts and destroys the soul. There is no way that anyone can sympathize with either of them. You feel no sympathy whatsoever with their plight.
Good versus evil is such a strong theme throughout this book. Mr. Holland did an amazing job personifying such a battle with his characters. I liked how Jared experienced temptation but was able to overcome his desires in order to see what is good and not get swallowed up by true evil. His girlfriend, Iris, is a perfect match for Jared. Both are so strong in their sense of goodness and fairness. They truly want to do fight evil and do what is right.
The Three Doors is an incredible story about belief and survival. When you go to bed at night, you will not want to turn out the light nor will you want to look out your bedroom window in fear of you might see. It is definitely a book to be read with the lights on and in broad daylight. It took me awhile to read it and I blame it on its complete creepiness. This book will definitely stay with you for a long time.
