Cemetery Hill is book five in the horror/fantasy Desolace series. In the first four books Katie has joined a team to help rid the world of Desolace of the evil that has captured and enslaved many of it’s inhabitants. The team has grown and it has also lost a few along the way.  Currently the group consists of Katie, Edward the White, Jack the werewolf, Amber the ghost, and Brian the shaaman. In the beginning of book 5 they are taking refuge in an abandoned Inn to nurse their wounds and figure out where their journey should go from there. In this small abandoned town they meet another new foe and try to take on a group of the demons with Brian’s holy fire. In following and destroying the demons they find the most terrifying sight after traveling  through yet another portal.  Will this revelation lead them to the victory they are striving for or the doom they fear?I just wrote that first part and then read it and thought “when I summarize the stories like that it makes it sound like it isn’t very exciting, but believe me, if you are a fan of horror, fantasy, or paranormal, you will like this series!The character Katie has grown so much since the first book. She has gone from a giggling teenager to a wise warrior. Edward has gone from a serious no nonsense kind of wizard to a kind and compassionate friend. Katie and Edward obviously have feelings for each other despite their age difference, but the author stubbornly refuses to write them a romantic scene. Maybe when the story concludes, Mr. Barnes?? Do you have any idea how emotionally damaged I will be if these two don’t get at least some form of a happily ever after?? Ok back to the review….With each book in this series a new enemy is revealed and new obstacles are put in their way. Each novel has gotten better than the last and the story is building to a big finish I can feel it. But what kind of ending is in store for this strange group of unlikely friends? I guess we’ll have to wait till the next book (or books) to find out.If you haven’t read any of the books in this series and you like fantasy, and horror and any of the genres I listed above, you should really check it out. I give Cemetery Hill 5 stars. Even though one of my favorite characters was killed off in the worst way. Yes, I did cry. It was very sad.
