This one was just sort of middling for me. But that's fine. ( )

I really REALLY loved this one. This is a series you need to read in order, to catch all the evolving characters. It's particularly critical for this installment.

Just wonderful. The fantastic elements, the town, its people, and the strife Gideon and Lee have to endure while trying to solve a murder may be the overt elements, but the underpinning of a place, a guardian, a psychic, a new element and a stolen child kept me riveted to this novel. ( )

With each of the books of this series the lyrical, atmospheric writing get you more and more deeply into the story. The supernatural permeates everything, sometimes subtly, sometimes not so much, but always there.

Here we have Gideon and Lee, one year into their marriage, learning to be fathers aside from husbands, when something heart-breaking happens. From there the story flows, unravelling the mysteries, introducing new characters while the old ones keep growing and the Bodmin's Beast growls.

I don't want this series end. NEVER.
