This series just gets better and better with each volume. This is definitely the best so far.

Trigger warnings: addiction, alcohol abuse, child abuse, grief, death of a parent (in the past), violence. 

The kids are still delightful and I really feel for Kensey in this volume. This was a tough read for several reasons, but the way that their mother is dealing with her grief makes it a particularly challenging instalment of the series. Definitely more heartbreaking than I anticipated.

Wow. The way Joe Hill addresses very real and personal issues in the face of tragedy is incredible. He takes very real feelings and emotions and puts them to the forefront of his characters making them incredibly complex but loveable. Nina is struggling with alcohol and her intense feelings and emotions are wiggling their way into her children’s lives. She just wants to fix her family but is so emotionally broken she has no idea where to go or what to do. This is something incredibly real and is what thousands of people go through on a daily basis and I commend Joe Hill for addressing these issues in a complex yet very real setting.

Es increíble la fuerza que tienen Tyler, Kinsey y Bode y cómo la familia "se sostiene" a pesar de todo lo que han vivido hasta ahora. Dodge es un villano al que odiar con muchas ganas y la historia de las llaves cada vez es más interesante.

Muy adictivo.

I'm not even sure how I picked these, up, but they are fantastic. An excellently drawn blend of horror and paranormal with great character development and an amazing family dynamic thrown in, they are well written and a great read. I will add the caveat that they're not for everyone; the gore and horror are enough that I'm sparing in my recommendations, as they aren't for the faint of heart.

Ahora sí estamos en el ritmo de la historia 5/5

Creo que lo que más me gustó hasta ahora es como tratan los daños psicológicos de los personajes, sobre todo el de la señora Locke.
