A new horrifying adventure awaits for retired soldier, Alex Easton when they return to their home country and are faced with more death, monsters, and mystery. Alex is fresh from the ordeal at the Usher Manor and wants rest but has to do a favor fo Angus and Miss Potter that requires them to head back to their home country, Gallacia,.They were meant to stay at their family hunting lodge, deep in the cold damp forest... but what was suppose to be a relaxing stay soon turns into something else as Easton discovers their caretaker is dead, the grounds are a mess, and the villagers believe there is a monster that has taken up residence in Easton's home. Yet Easton's dreams are slowly being invaded... and something is haunting them and now they'll have to figure out what it is and what new horror they are to face. This was a slower burn read compared to the first one but it definitely had a cozy horror vibe to it, something that really makes it a good read during the autumn/winter time. I do adore T. Kingfisher's writing style and the gothic and horror atmosphere they create is really well done. I can't wait to see where the next book goes and what fresh hell awaits Easton next.
