I read this some time ago and when I picked it up to share for my Friday memes, it looked so good I wanted to read it again. None of the cover I see match the hardcover jacket that I have, so I am going to share a couple others with you. Which you do like best?
MY FRIDAY 56
“You mean Magma is going to all this bother because their man – this chap Kline – has had a premonition of some sort?” He glared at Halloran as though it were his fault.
(page 56 in hardback)
MY BOOK BEGINNINGS
Three thousand years before the birth of Christ, the first real moves toward civilization emerged from southern Mesopotamia, around the lower reaches of the Euphrates and Tigris Rivers. Because the land was between two rivers – Sumer – the peopl there were called Sumerians.
ABOUT THE BOOK
There is a house called Neath that holds a dark and terrible secret. In that house there is a psychic called Kline who is part of its secret. The Keeper is guardian of the house, of the psychic, and of the secret. But now an outsider must protect them from a terrible danger. Halloran will combat men who thrive on physical corruptions; he will find love of a perverse nature; he will confront his soul’s own darkness. And eventually he will discover the horrific and awesome secret of the Sepulchre.

The covers grab me more than the quotes you chose. I don’t think this is my kind of book. This week I am spotlighting Marked in Flesh by Anne Bishop. Happy reading!
Not a book for me, but if I were to pick it up for a friend of mine that would like it, the red cover who be the one I’d go for. I’d love for you and your readers to check out mine… http://tinyurl.com/LisaKsBookReviewsSBkd
I love historical, biblical stories. Have to find this one! Happy weekend!
A little out of my comfort zone, but I am definitely intrigued and want to know what happens. Thanks for sharing. And thanks for visiting my blog.
This looks like an interesting one though I haven’t heard of it. I like the first cover better than the second one. 🙂

Friday Memes
The opening reminds me of James Michener’s books. Seems like he always starts with the dawn of time!
This book sounds like one my husband would enjoy. In fact, I think he has it on his bookshelves. Not sure it’s for me.
Thank you for visiting my blog and leaving a comment.

I find the red cover grabs attention. This Sounds like one of those historical epics that I love. Enjoy!
I read one James Herbert story while I was a teenager and it scared me for life – I do hope you enjoy this one.
Creepy cover. Happy weekend!
I like the second cover better not because of the snake (ugh) but because of the font used on the words. Ha. What interesting opening lines. Thanks for visiting my blog.
That first cover really screams at you. It’s so creepy, it would probably give me nightmares. Hope you enjoy the weekend!
Don’t know if this book is for me or not but I hope you really enjoy it ….I like the cover with the snakes on it…lol…
Here’s my Friday meme
I was just looking at a copy of this book at a yard sale last weekend! And I was this close to buying it, too. 🙂
