    A supernatural horror treat
    I enjoyed this faced paced horror. The elements of the supernatural were engrossing. The FMC was a mixture of morally grey and conflicted. The story was atmospheric and the descriptive writing style made the eeriness more prevalent. The plot was original and I felt the story was suspenseful.

    I do suggest you read The Hunter's Daughter first, as that story contains important backstop for the FMC and her parents. There were things mentioned or alluded to that I felt, having not read the first book, took away from the story foundation.

    Mysticism...
    Immersed in supernatural events, a young police woman, Anna Koray, tries to unwind many mysteries. Both past and present problems plague her. Coming from a very dysfunctional family she finds current solace with her boyfriend Nick and her dog Gibby. However she is totally alone when the Rusalka takes over her body!

    I did not realize this was the second book of a duology. I have not read book number one - which would probably have made a difference and brought me into the present in this book. I thought that the writing was good in this book, however I am really not much into mythology or curses or the mystic theme that this book follows. Author 4 stars, book content 2 1/2 stars.
  • Louise H. (KINGWOOD, TX)
    Great main character development
    Told from POV of LT Anna Koray. The author did a good job of developing LT Koray's character. This was a fantasy with a mysterious disappearance 15 years ago that the LT was trying to solve. Are some of the deaths caused by the fantasy water creature Rusalka? The book has a lot of interesting characters: a suspected witch, religious zealots, abused kids, a deputy who wasn't who he presented himself to be, and LT Koray's jewel of a husband. No one is that perfect!
