Erin A. Craig has once again created a perfect creepy fantasy book—the mystery was very well constructed, the atmosphere was creepy, and there were so many little details that just felt *eerie*, you know? And both Jerard and Victor were so unhinged it was terrifying. My only big problem is that I found the romance lacking and not really necessary for the plot–Verity had no chemistry with Alex at all! I loved seeing more of the world and its mythology, and I hope it's explored further in the next book. All in all, this was a solid sequel (more of a companion novel, actually) and I really enjoyed reading it!
