There are two ways you can review this book: one is very short and to the point, the other one a bit verbose but this is a blogtour and we must be a bit verbose.
The first reviews is the following: READ IT! It's one of those book you start and won't put down, highly entertaining and gripping.
No marketing buzz, I mean it as I love this series and read this book in one setting.
The second one is a bit more articulate and there are more words.
I requested the arc of the first instalment following my gut feeling, something told it was going to be an exciting read. It was an exciting read, loved it.
I requested this arc hoping it was up to the previous story and it was even better.
It's a riveting and highly entertaining mix of police procedurale and thriller with some folk horror in the mix. There's a mythical monster that could be real or a legend, there's a lot of unidentified corpse, and there's a creepy and fascinating forest.
I assume that S.A. Dunphy works for VisitIreland as the description of the forest made me wish I could visit this great place which is full of mystery, history and life.
Jessie, Seamus, Terri, and Dawn are great characters and the strength of the team is what makes them solve cases and survive
I like to learn something about the Travellers and liked how they are represented as human being with virtues and defects.
The plot is full of twists and I couldn't guess what was going to happen. The solution surprised me and was satisfying.
I can't wait to read the next story, this one is highly recommended.
Many thanks to Bookouture and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine.
