Goodreads Review:
Without giving away the ending, I'll just say it was extremely trippy, and I'm anxious to read the other books before the 4th is released! - VickiC.N. Harrow has a writing style that reminded me of an earlier time. He is a master at creating a dark atmosphere with words. I could feel the darkness and mist wrap around me and over me like a wet wool overcoat. The swirling of the mist and darkness of the road Dr. Blackwood travels is described so well that I could feel the eeriness seeping inside.I enjoyed reading this novel and am looking forward to reading the second installment. - Haly
