Dominic Sheldrake's son has a family of his own, and all three of them are members of a church that awakens familiar memories in Dominic. Intent on finding out what's going on, he feigns wanting to become a member, and his worst fears are confirmed when he meets Christian Noble and his offspring at the church. With the help of his childhood friends Jim and Bobby, Dominic is determined to expose the Nobles' deeds and to save his family. An epic battle ensues with a darkness that not only threatens to devour Dominic's family but all of humankind. While I appreciated the plot and outcome of this last part of the trilogy, I was not as thrilled by the story as expected, or, as a German saying goes: "Die Luft ist raus", meaning something like it has lost its initial appeal, or the subject has become exhausted. While the first part of the book dragged along and made it hard to keep up my attention, the second half delivered the familiar suspense and horror I was expecting, leading to a worthy conclusion and ending.
