Kathy has gone in search of answers, heading up the Amazon River to find where the photograph of the mysterious being was taken. This means she happens to be at a small outpost when a large boat arrives, carrying several passengers. Although it appears innocent enough at first – almost eccentric – not everyone on board is being honest about their intentions. Kathy catches a blow to the head as the more nefarious elements of the visitors take off upstream, abducting José in the process. This means a chase through the upper waterways, into ever-dangerous territory, as both boats run into trouble.
We also get a parallel story, set a couple of years before, that begins at the Bram Stoker Society in London. Two members are granted an expenses-paid trip into the heart of Transylvania, but it doesn’t deliver quite what they set out to find.
All in all, a book packed with intrigue, adventure, villains, and consequences. Whatever the strange being is, it clearly exists, but quite how it came to be there, and how it ties into the overall narrative, remains to be seen. And with three more books to go, there’s plenty of opportunity for this take to go just about anywhere. I look forward to the journey.
And if you liked that: The next book is out now.
