thecaptainsquarters 's review for:
Watcher in the Woods
by Kelley Armstrong
Ahoy there me mateys! This be the fourth book of a series. If ye haven’t read the other three, then ye might want to skip this post and go get caught up. While I try to post no spoilers, if ye keep reading this log then ye have been forewarned and continue at yer own peril . . .
I love Kelley Armstrong! I discovered her through her young adult book, sea of shadows, and she became me most read author of 2016. I have read the first three books of this series and was excited to continue me foray into Rockton.
This novel continues the adventures of Rockton’s detective, Casey Duncan. For those who be adventurous and are readin’ this post having not read the previous books, Rockton is an off-the-grid town in the Yukon. People pay a council to spend time in this town to hide from their pasts. Some flee domestic abuse. Some flee other more unsavory problems. Suffice to say, the town is not an idyllic wonderland.
While I absolutely loved books one and two, book three was a bit of a let down for me in terms of the last third of the book and the suspension of disbelief. But I always knew I was going to read the next one and have to say that book four was wonderful. In this installment, an outsider who claims to be a U.S. Marshall has found Rockton and is trying to find and apprehend his target.
No one is supposed to know where the town is, so Casey has to figure out who this Marshall really is, how he got there, who he is looking for, and if the Marshall should be allowed to take someone away. With the ruling council in shambles, Casey’s situation is a mess.
The fun of this installment was getting to see all me favourite characters again. In addition ye get some revelations about the history of the Sheriff’s parents and get to have some time with Casey’s sister. I approve. The complexities of the storyline were varied and nicely intertwined. I am not going to get into the plot any further because this is one the reader should get to have on their own. All I can say is that this might be the best of the bunch and I really want the next one. Arrrr!
