The characters are likable, the creature is wicked, the plot is action-packed and the storyline delivers plenty of suspense. I'm definitely picking up the other two books in the series. This is exactly the type of book that hooked me into this genre, to begin with. That being said, thank you Anthony Strong for providing me a few serious hours of entertainment?! - Paula Sahraoui, Amazon review¿¿¿¿¿ Well-written, more literate than most books in this genre. A spooky atmosphere, a bit of horror laced with mystery, and decently developed characters make this book worth the read. I've already ordered the two sequels.
