Leon is in a situation when the book opens, tied up to be exact. When he has been missing for a week, his Dad calls his brother, Niels to tell him the upsetting news. Niels goes on a quest to find him but sinister beings and dark secrets will put both of them in harms way. With a cast of characters that range from Leon’s girlfriend to Niels ex-wife, and a woman Niels meets at Avalon Lake, there is so much to uncover before it’s too late.
O.K. I took 4 pages of notes on this one. I listened to the audiobook and it definitely heightened the experience. This one was rough to listen to because it goes into the dark web shenanigans.
I did not see 90% of the plot twists coming and Mangum really knows how to keep us on our toes. I read BONE CIDER and fell in love with his writing. (I have 4 more physical books and maybe 2 more audio. It’s NOT STALKING, IT’S SUPPORTING!)
Anyway, if you haven’t listened or read this one you are 100% missing out. There isn’t a flaw in this book. Seriously. It’s 99.99% perfection (0.01% for margin of error.)
