Words can't really express the way I felt after reading the Marsburg Diary!! I'm not sure what I expected I would read but it certainly wasn't that.  Harvey Marsburg, the son of William Marburg decides to read his deceased fathers long lost diary.  He is trying to unravel how or why his father became such a lunatic.  What he discovers though is not that his father was crazy but he was tormented by evil due to a book he discovered.When Harvey is reading the diary we are transported back in to the time when his father is seeking the book of Kreios and all the danger that erupts from that simple quest.  Then it flips back in to Harvey's world and what he is discovering about the book that is now in his possession.  Questions begin to arise; is he destined to follow the same trail of his father and what does that mean for him.I found the beginning of the book a bit confusing and at times I felt like I had to re-read the paragraphs to fully understand what was happening.  I did feel like I was reading the diary of a lunatic which I think is what the author was trying to do and then it all began to make sense and the puzzle began to take a shape!!  My skin was crawling with the evil that portrayed!!Of course this book brings some answers the questions we were asking when we were introduced to Kreios in book one of the Airel Saga but mostly it just brings more questions that I want to ask.  Chris gives us encouragement though by stating that there will be some answers to come in book two of the Marsbury Diary series.Content: Mature audience, some violence and evil.Disclosure:  I was provided a copy of this book from the author in exchange for my honest review and opinion.  All opinions are my own.
