Awesome, Awesome, AWESOME

This series ceases to amaze me! Episode five picks up right where episode four left off. Travis and Lex are trapped in the basement of a house they sought refuge in. There are Ulama or the Tar everywhere, they're surrounded. How will they escape?

So this installment is packed with tons of actions and quite a bit of bravery required from our heroine Lex. She realizes in this book that her suspicions about Travis's eyesight were true and he can't see. It will be up to her to be his eyes in this black world. Travis struggles in this installment seeing that his sister who is still his sister in mind is more Tar in body. And ultimately this leads to them arguing about when do you start to call someone a monster, before when they are still themselves or after they've changed.

Apparently, fighting monsters with a pipe was okay, but riding death traps through dark, rubble strewn streets was where I drew the line.

Ironically funny at moments, especially when the teenage spirit of Lex comes out, and horrifying the next. If you haven't already started this series, you do not know what you are missing! I can't wait to see where Mrs. Ethington will take us next. For now, though I think I will go hide from the dark....
