I really enjoyed this book and the series. It deserves 5 stars, but I was unhappy about how he kept killing off all of the good guys (so to speak). I understand that good people perish and sometimes in horrific ways, but give me a break. You are a genius at in establishing heroes, but then you kill them off, just when they are fully vested and integrated. If I want the macabre, then I can just watch a slasher movie. All of these books were very well written, but then you did this is each of them...............I was very disappointed.It reminds me of a movie, many years ago. Wherein a maniac and the hero were going at it and then both of their guns went "empty", at the same time, so the hero rushed forward to grapple with the villain and save the trussed up girl.............THEN, the villain pulls out "another" gun from behind his back, which no one knew that he had, and shot the hero dead and it faded to black. Talk about a terrible feeling. The majority of we Americans revere the hero, the white had and goodness over evil.The ending totally sucked.......Yes, it was a surprise, but to go through "all" of that and.................Obviously, in this storyline, it is very believable, but it sucks.All I am trying to say is that the story lines and development are great, just back off of "evil" getting the upper hand at the end and you will have an audience for life.I seriously doubt that I am alone in this observation.Dr. Ken W
