Souls of Megiddo: Book 1, The Caretakers by John P. Goetz is a story of power and a fight between good and evil that is as old as time. It was 75 BC when the High Priest of the Mayan civilization created the emerald pendant in hopes of creating two sides of evil and good. When it was clear that his civilization will perish, he hoped that this pendant would keep their legacy alive. Now, after a millennia, the pendant is divided into two identical stones that represent Pain and Life.
They are passed down generation after generation, to be used with caution and care. The stone of Pain, the Dolar Stone, is in the hands of a malicious master who uses it to cause havoc against all humans, and he also knows that if he possesses the other stone, the Vitam Stone, he can control everything and everyone. If he succeeds, he will be the most powerful being on the planet and nothing could stop him.
But, the Caretaker of the Vitam Stone is also looking for the stone of Pain. He wants to connect the two stones and keep it out of reach of the person who could use the power for his own purposes. The danger is horrendous and it is very near. It is his responsibility to protect the stone, and in turn the Soul of Megiddo, because only then good will prevail and evil will be destroyed.
There are some books that just grab your attention and make you read till the end. This was the one for me. When I started the novel, I wasn’t sure what Souls of Megiddo would be like. John P. Goetz surprised me. The historical references were super amazing and made the book really wonderful. The book truly deserves 5 stars and more! I truly enjoyed this novel.
