Synopsis
Gloom Dwellers. Evil spirits that devour souls and are invisible to the human eye. Only members of the Order of the Light can fight back against their might. These exorcists hail from ancient blessed bloodlines which confer upon each of them individual spirit powers they use to fight Gloom Dwellers. Caden McLaren is a 'tainted blood' - the product of a pairing between the most powerful exorcist to ever grace the Order and a plain human.
Due to his tainted blood, he bears no spirit powers except the ability to perceive Gloom Dwellers. His mother's death in childbirth made him her only heir, and so Caden is adopted by the Order and trained to be an exorcist regardless of his inability to do so. And his disinterest in doing so.
While it seems the Gloom Dwellers have nearly been wiped from the world entirely, a new and staggeringly powerful Gloom Dweller has formed, possessing both genius intellect and sharp cunning.
Caught unaware, the Order is thoroughly devastated in a sudden massive attack orchestrated by this new leader, and only Caden and a few of his friends survive the purge. In the process of escaping, Caden discovers he is the first tainted blood to somehow have a spirit power after all: he controls the Gloom - a cursed and malleable goo that Gloom Dwellers naturally create and wave to their purposes.
Caden is the ultimate King of the Gloom, and the last dying ember of the Order of Light.

Personally this is a first for me to read a novel like this, but I can only say that I really liked it. Caden is very realistic, and his monotone talking is very relatable. If you think of his situation, honestly I couldn't describe it better than the author did. The writing is really on top, making it nice to read and feel close to the MC, never once did I feel that he talked too much to himself^^ Lastly, personally it is not my choice of genre, but I am still really into this and I recommend everyone that thinks of reading this, to do so! Give it a try, and in the first three chapters, you will surely come to like it!
