WOW! Not a Horror Reader, but a must read! review by Karen Johnson Mead on 01 October 2009 19:38

I am not a horror person. I prefer not to read anything that will scare me so much I can’t sleep, but I do enjoy a good thriller, and Lee Pletzer is New Zealand’s answer to Dean Koontz, Stephen King and however else you can think of out there. The Last Church is a Horror story combined with a liberal dose of Science Fiction which creates a story that is exciting, chilling and surreal all at the same time. This man can tell a story that packs a punch and keeps you reading until you get to the last page. So what is the story? The Last Church revolves around a man with a lot of power, who seems to be able to get anything he wants, and he does, all because of the power of one book. But this man wants more power and he transcends time to make sure he gets it. Mixed into the story are several other characters and their stories that ultimately come together, rather intricately and without losing the main focus of the story. In fact they add to it, rather than detract from it. The ultimate solution to the problem, an amazing ending that has you thinking for hours. With a fast pace, Lee tells a story and keeps you reading, wanting to know more, learn more, read more until you get to the end and want more.

An engaging horror novel review by Cassie Hart on 01 October 2009 20:13

Lee Pletzer's novel 'The Last Church' is a fine balance of just enough horror to satisfy those who love a bit of gore, and not too much to scare off those who don't. Add in a realistic future setting, and a twist I haven't seen before on the Devil's attempts to lure man to his side and you'll find a fast paced novel that keeps you wanting to read on. You'll also find an interesting array of characters who interplay nicely, coming together in an ending that was both satisfying and unexpected. Lee certainly knows how to spin a good yarn.
