Holy cow! What a misfire! The ending of book 2 hinted at some interesting new directions for the main character. Unfortunately, it was to be some kind of warmed over Monster Hunter, Inc. imitation. That is a *truly* terrible book series. I'll try #4 and see if this we a one off next. (

Nate, aka Hellequin, is called back to investigate more murders in Stratford that may be related to murders back from 1977 and to Shadow Falls wtih King Gallhad.

A richly vivid narrative fills the pages of this story. Elements of the supernatural, humor, and action intertwine to add enjoyment to the mysteries.

Characters are flawed, authentic for their reality, compassionate, and develop as the story continues.

Overall, an awesome read. (
