This story does grab you early on and makes you want more. The action moves along nicely, and there are nice chills. On the whole, I think Ike Hamill is a talented author, and worth checking out if you haven't done so yet. Not yet Stephen King but close to James Herbert.Be warned that this is a sequel to his Hunting Tree trilogy, which I would recommend reading first in order to get the back story. The characters often refer to events in the other books, and if you haven't read them you may be a little confused trying to figure out what they mean.My main complaint with Ike Hamill's books is that his characters seldom come to life for me, and aren't memorable. Characters pop in and out as needed.I never develop an understanding of their drive or motivation, so sometimes it seems they act solely for the convenience of the story line. To be fair I have this complaint about many Kindle authors I have read. Maybe it is just a consequence of the volume of books available through KDP.In the end Ike Hamill is an author worth reading, although I think his best book so far is Extinct.
