I just finished "Seven, Eight" and it had some interesting moments in it.  When I first started reading it, and the girl Camilla kept going on about how she couldn't tell Amalie's parents about her disappearance I really thought she might be the daughter of some sort of mobster; I didn't think she'd be the Princess in the Royal Family but one thing I'll say for this series of books. They don't pull any punches with romanticizing the royal family or the deeds they perform privately.  Then comes the killer in the story; I haven't had a chance to read book 1 in this series but I have read "Three, Four" and "Five, Six" and even though those books had some sick killers in them, this Allan in this book was the absolute darkest human I've read about in a fictional murder mystery in quite some time, if ever.  The scariest part is that there are and have been killers like this in the real world and to see just how dark, cold and completely soulless they are, it gave the book an extra bit of angst that kept you from wanting to put the book down.  I'm not one who likes to give away anything in the books I'm reviewing because I like to let each reader have their own journey through the book but in this case I have to give just one word of warning for anyone with arachnophobia- there are a few pages in this book that you're going to want to skip if you have any fear of spiders of any kind; take my word for it.
