Review: Dylan's Song
Rating: 5 out of 5

"The mists of Ireland were something alive, something that could soothe a man's soul or destroy it; something that cloaked a man when he wanted to be hidden or obscured that which he needed to see. It could soak into the bones on the coldest of days or sweeten the skin in the warmest of hours." ...pg 276 of Dylan's SongI think that the above quote from the end of Dylan's Song pretty much describes most of the story. Dylan's Song is the fourth in the series "Black Swamp Mysteries". The bogs of Ireland have always been one of the most mystical places in Ireland I think, because no one really knows what secrets the bogs may hold. One of these secrets is the premise of the story. Dylan is a CIA operative and he and Vicki, who is a CIA spy with psychic abilities, are sent on a mission to Ireland to rescue a man who is somehow hidden in the bogs, a victim of a kidnapping. Dylan does not want to ever go back to Ireland because of past events in his life. He probably would not have gone back either if it was not for the fact that his grandmother was dying. So along with Vicki and her sister, Brenda, they are headed to Ireland. The mission is fraught with danger as the bogs can be a very dangerous place. There are other dangers of course waiting for Dylan and he does his best to keep his secrets from Vicki, but Vicki has a secret of her own.Dylan's Song is an exciting mystery that has romance, danger, modern technology along with the beauty of Ireland and it's culture that will please any reader who has read the previous three books in the series or even if you haven't like me. I loved the suspense and the wonderful love between Dylan and Vicki and the snarkiness of Brenda. I could just picture the village portrayed in the story and feel the the mists and smell the peat from the bogs. I highly recommend this series.I received a copy for review and was not monetarily compensated for my review.
