It certainly takes you for a ride through the unknown. Is what you're reading real? Or is it a work of fiction? Have you lost your grip on reality? Quite possibly. Loche Newirth is a psychologist. He has some very interesting patients. When one dies of an "apparent suicide" and Loche disappears, he becomes a suspect. And because every psychologist must have a psychologist themselves to retain their sanity, Marcus Rearden is Loche's. Marcus is renowned for being a psychologist for the criminally insane as well as a well known author. He finds Loche's "journal" recalling the events leading up to his patient's death as well as what followed during his disappearance. It seems as though Loche may have gone off the deep end himself, but is he responsible for Bethany's death? Ended slightly differently, this could have been a stand alone, but the twist ending makes me look forward to reading more in the series. This is definitely a suspenseful psychological thriller, with a hearty dose of the supernatural. I feel this would appeal to a large variety of readers, from those interested in paranormal stories, to lovers of mystery and suspense. *I won this book from a Goodreads giveaway. The review is my own, honest and unsolicited. This was a very dense book. The switching points of view means you have to really pay attention and remember details or you will be completely lost. Actually, I ended up feeling lost many times while reading this book but the characters were so well developed and the story line was so intriguing I had to keep going to see where the story was going. The story within a story was very well done and enabled an end scene that actually surprised me (very few stories manage that!). Can't wait to read the next book! "The Invasion of Heaven" by Michael Koep is a fantastical murder mystery that is reminiscent, somehow, of the magical realism books of Gabriel García Márquez, Salman Rushdie, and others. It starts as Loche Newirth, becomes despondent after one of his patients commits suicide. He becomes confused and starts hallucinating, and when he views a painting that seems to have extraordinary, even perhaps supernatural, power to reveal fundamental truths of the human condition, Newirth worries that he is falling into madness. He leaves messages for his mentor, Dr. Marcus Reardon, who also is swept up in the madness. The plot swirls around and we learn that the painting, rather than reflecting Newirth's madness, may in truth manifest real power and that there are people trying to control the painter and his powerful works, so that they may control the world. I lost my taste for magical realism long ago and yet, while I was not bowled over by this book, I didn't put it down. The mystery underlying Newirth's breakdown is sufficiently interesting that I kept reading and I intend to read the follow-on book as soon as I can. I received a review copy of "The Invasion of Heaven: Part One of The Newirth Mythology" by Michael B Koep (Will Dreamy Arts) through NetGalley.com. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

Psychologist Loche Newirth becomes hunted when he sees a painting that opens a window onto the afterlife. An ancient order of men seeking to control the art pursue him across the world through centuries, into madness and beyond. The first part of Michael B. Koep's The Newirth Mythology-The Invasion of Heaven is mystery, adventure, myth, betrayal, murder and madness. Psychologist Loche Newirth wonders if it was his fall: the fifty foot drop rom the rocky cliff to the icy water below. Is this why he has been hallucinating? Or is it because one of his clients is dead, or his mentor has gone mad or that his wife is leaving him? He can't bring himself to believe what he has been seeing. Insane things like a massive, searching eye. He sees it in the water below the cliff. He sees it in mirrors, on walls: a massive, crystal blue iris and fathomless pupil there in the center of his life, looking at him. To find the answer, Loche pens the recent events of his life into a book and leaves the work behind for his mentor, Doctor Marcus Reardon, to interpret. As Reardon reads, he plunges into the harrowing depths of Loche's reality: his loss of a client, the discovery of an unknown past, an ancient conflict over possession of the human condition, the awesome reality of the gods walking among us, and the crimes of humanity invading the hope that lies beyond the grave. And along the way, Loche tells of unforgettable characters: the torn and manic housewife that teeters on the edge of sanity, and the depressed, swashbuckling swordsman that believes he is over six hundred years old, the stoned and prolific painter and his perilous work he must keep secret, and the beautiful business woman that abandons her life's work for a love she never expected.
