Be careful of deals made with The Gentleman, as the terms are steep and binding.To say that James Greene is having a bad day, or let's clarify that to a bad year, is a bit of an understatement. A deal made with The Gentleman continues to haunt him. Literally. No matter where he tries to hide, it never seems far enough. What can a person do when everything that is attempted fails?This book drops you right in the middle of the main character trying to flee. Ever had those nightmares as a child where something is after you and your feet feel as if they're stuck in mud, and no matter how hard you try you can't get them to move fast enough? Welcome to The Gentleman. Where those nightmares are now real and the dawn of a new day is no longer your escape.You learn of James' past through snippets and memories. It's a mix of past and present that allows you to learn just enough of the character to understand some of his trauma, yet still leaves you wanting to turn the page to learn more. The writing is very good, the pace excellent and the attention to detail is evident.This was an excellent read and one that should be added to everyone's collection who enjoys a good bit of horror with their evening cup of tea.Review by Mona Markham for bookie-monster (dot) com
