In William J. Rogers' Hellfire Effect, an asteroid struck Ohio and a location close to Egypt. People living near the impact zone began to experience intense dreams, increased intuition, and even reported hearing whispers. After murdering someone, criminals and terrorists endured excruciating pain, which they described as feeling like being in Hell. Sarah Alston and Dr. Andrew Stevens found that a mysterious substance is responsible for changes in brain chemistry. When someone commits murder, they end up killing themselves in a gory manner. J.C. felt he had to take matters into his own hands and find a method to help stop all the senseless killings after his friend was an innocent victim of gun violence. Sarah, Dr. Andrew, and J.C. worked together to solve the mysterious Hellfire Effect.

The plot in Hellfire Effect by William J. Rogers is captivating and intricate. The pacing was fast-paced and filled with action throughout. I was engrossed from beginning to end, constantly surprised by what happened next. The unexpected twists kept me in suspense and eagerly turning the pages. The writing style was compelling, allowing me to fully immerse myself in the Hellfire effect's mystery. The characters felt genuine and relatable. Sarah, Dr. Andrew, and J.C. each had their unique motivations for exploring the Hellfire effect. The story was masterfully crafted, and I believe this effect was of divine origin, beyond scientific proof. I was eager to discover the conclusions Sarah, Dr. Andrew, and J.C. would reach and the eventual outcome of their investigation.
