The Thirst That Remains surprised me with how deep and emotional it was. The story weaves together centuries of history, a terrifying curse, and a modern-day mystery in such a gripping way. Jake’s struggle with the darkness inside him and Ashley’s courage and faith kept me hooked until the end. It’s dark, suspenseful, and thought-provoking all at once—a perfect read if you like supernatural tales with real heart behind them.

Opening in 1761, a British soldier (Thomas Hale) faces a powerful occultist (Lord Alistair) with a large following (the Anointed). Alistair curses Hale, resulting in him becoming “Jake,” a monster that craves destruction and blood – and loses more of himself and his humanity with every violent act. The Anointed believe he is the key to a prophecy and hunt him for centuries, bringing us to the present day. Ashley is an 18 year old, devout Christian, who has been sheltered in her very religious small town – until she starts having nightmares about murders in her town. Jake is drawn to Ashley’s purity and faith as a stark opposition to his own soul. This is historical fiction, horror, murder mystery, supernatural, dark fantasy all mixed into one book. It’s fast-paced, with lots of twists and tension, complex characters, and the setting is dark, moody, and atmospheric – perfect for fall and spooky season. Warnings for intense horror, unsettling and graphic scenes, and dark occult themes.

The plot is incredibly well-crafted, with twists and turns I never saw coming. The characters are complex and believable, and I found myself genuinely invested in their fates. Graves’ writing style is evocative and keeps the tension high throughout, making it impossible to put down. I spent late nights devouring this book, trying to piece together the clues alongside the protagonist. I highly recommend this to anyone who loves a good, dark mystery that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very last page. A truly satisfying read!

This book goes back centuries with a guy named Jake, who has been cursed. Then it goes in modern times, with a girl named Asley. They meet in the woods and Ashley finds out he has been cursed. You have to read this book, to find out if Jake gets saved by Ashley, or remains cursed.This book is a suspense filled book, that is pretty good.

The Thirst That Remains feels like stepping into a world where history, horror, and human emotion collide in the most gripping way. Elden Graves makes Jake both terrifying and heartbreakingly human, while Ashley’s courage and compassion bring hope to the darkness. The story flows effortlessly between the 18th century and modern-day, keeping you on edge while also rooting for the characters to find redemption. I loved how the supernatural elements are grounded in emotion, making the suspense feel real and personal. If you enjoy dark thrillers with haunted pasts, unforgettable characters, and a touch of humanity shining through the horror, this book is impossible to put down.

The narrative’s shift to the present day introduces Ashley, a sheltered young woman whose pure faith and innocence create a powerful counterpoint to Jake’s cursed existence. This juxtaposition is the heart of the novel’s tension. The use of nightmares and a small-town setting creates a sense of foreboding and classic suspense, drawing the reader into the mystery alongside Ashley. Her ability to see past Jake’s monstrous façade is a pivotal moment, framing their relationship as not just a romance, but a quest for spiritual salvation. This dynamic promises a high-stakes, emotional journey as they team up against the sinister “Anointed.”

The book is a dark and emotional story that blends history, mystery, and the supernatural. It follows Jake, a cursed soldier, and Ashley, a modern teen with strong faith, as their lives collide in a town haunted by secrets. The book is fast-paced, with rich characters and a powerful theme of redemption.

A different kind of thriller book. It was enticing to the degree of feeling the emotions of the characters. A great read.
