Oh this is the grossest one yet.

That didn't stop me from blowing through the last quarter of the book in bed alone in the dark which I wouldn't have done with the previous ones.
Whoops.
Bad choice, but a good book.

That took too long to finish. This was a teensy bit disappointing. It was so slow in a lot of parts and I felt like I was reading to be done with it. This was also very sad and I did find myself teary eyed. Usually I like larger books in a series but I didn't like that it was so large. I felt like it was too large and lot of parts were really unnecessary. Overall, this was pretty good but it didn't live up to the first two books.

This book gets, if possible, even darker than the previous two.

Basically, if you have a strong stomach, enjoy a well-penned tale, and like gothic monsters with the occasional historical figure, this book is for you.

Was a little disappointed by the "monster" in this book. Seemed like you spent most of the book trying to get to the isle of blood and then it was only 50 pages of island. It was gruesome like the last 2 books and being a microbiologist I would have thought I would have been impressed by a contagion monster, but I wasn't.

I don't normally complain about a book being too long, as I like a lot of detail in my novels, but this is the first of the three of this series that caused my eyes to glaze over and my head to drop repeatedly. Too much padding delaying the central action of the story.

This book started off slow but interesting as ever. Not a dull moment. It also left you a bit confused as to what monster they were hunting or chasing this time. Will's character development grew quite a bit. I wasn't surprised but still a little shocked. Will definitely meet darkness in this book. Everything about this book made me love it. It was definitely mysterious and intriguing all the way through. The writing and the story are equally as good as the last two books.

Definitely more like a 4.5 stars. This is an amazing series and each book just gets better and better.
