"On a perfect autumn night in the coastal village of Wicker Bay, a young couple was attacked and a life was forever changed. When teenager Nickel Warren awoke she learned her boyfriend, Eric, had mysteriously vanished. Seemingly the only person on Bishop's Island eager to find him, Nickel devoted her life to learning what happened to her first love on that tragic night. Though the years provided no clues or comfort, she never allowed herself to stop believing Eric was alive. Now, after an eighteen year absence Eric Kade has resurfaced on Bishop's Island under circumstances as unsettling as his disappearance. Though reunited, Nickel's search for answers is sidelined by another horrific event more deeply connected to her childhood sweetheart than she can imagine. Living as a preacher, Eric has traveled the world for nearly two decades hunting demons in a sect named The Progeny. But a chilling prophecy has named him as a threat and turned his fellow hunters against him. With a sense of urgency, Eric has come back to the island not to rekindle the past but to protect the home he loves from an oncoming war. Relying on the help of a rare group of locals, he builds a network of his own to defend the unknowing against a world he has come to know too well. As he works to prepare a haven, Eric will strengthen his bond with Nickel and introduce her to a world of miraculous events and unholy terror."
My Thoughts:
Homecoming is a story about good vs evil. Eric and Nickel were high school sweethearts until an act of violence separated them for 18 years. Eric was kidnapped and trained to serve in The Three and The Progeny. He is now a Pastor and demon hunter. He has come back to the island to protect the island from the evil that has been unleased. He buys the local church in Harvest Grove and tries to lead a peaceful life and reunited with Nickel. He has tried to keep his past from her but when evil descends on the town looking for him he will enlist her aid in helping to fight this evil. Nickel is having trouble deciding that what she wants and what is good for the town. With Eric back in her life she comes to realize that with faith she can overcome the bad decisions that she has chosen for her life.
Bishops Island has been home to five families since it was founded in the nineteenth century. The island has always had a rich history of folklore and legends. The Progeny is a group of ten people, of which Eric was one but was banished, who are comprised of trackers, demon hunters, witch hunters, holy men, soldiers and doctors. The Progeny answers to a pair of advisors who directly report to the leader of the group, The Father. The Father is a holy man and was a demon hunter but has trained a group of men and women to fight evil as he feels that he was ordained by God and has the gift of prophecy. According to his own beliefs he feels that Eric is the enemy and he sends his army to take care of Eric. Eric has come to the island not to find his past but to protect the island from the unspeakable terror that is on it's way. I would categorize this book as being of the genre Christian/Fantasy/Fiction. A story of faith, love and redemption for Eric and Nickel. I enjoyed reading this book..
