All in all it's a fairly straightforward horrorish book, nicely enough written, interesting enough to keep you going. Sympathetic characters galore, some wonderfully unsympathetic ones, and splendidly horrid creatures. Nothing very special but by and large good enough,and perfect for a lazy Sunday morning. I think perhaps I found the assistance given to the protagonists by some of the other characters just a bit too useful and too frequently so, but that's a minor quibble and it's hard to see how it would be tied up otherwise. All's well that ends well of course, and with these books you do really know all the way through that it's going to finish happily. But despite knowing the destination in advance I still enjoyed the journey. And I guess I don't really have much else to say :-) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

There are some interesting twists though I did rather anticipate the one where
Badger's mother-in-law, wife and son are implicated, and the quest by Badger, Mahlia, the Prof and Molly to find out if Carolyn and Robby are still alive, and to combat the danger threatening all of them, leads them to an old friend of Carolyn's with links to the first location. Michael Shiel leads a strange colony up in the mountains with an odd temple and very disturbing 'religious' practices based upon - trigger warning -
On the whole the book balanced out at a 3 star rating for me; it had enough likeable characters and elements, but also sufficiently annoying ones such as Badger to end up as a middle of the road read. ( )
