So... I don't actually like horror stories. I mean, I shelve this series as urban fantasy, (though I should probably create something like a historical paranormal shelf) but sometimes I think the horror genre fits the series much better. I specifically thought that whilst reading this book as it felt the most horror to me to date.

But, you know what, this book was such fun.

There's the infiltration of the Endicott's creepy castle-esque stronghold where, naturally, everything is not as it seems. There are a couple of plots that get their well deserved end (if you've read it, you know what - or, rather, who - I mean) and a couple of plots (including the main one of visiting where Whyborne's ancestors come from) that have been a long time coming.

All in all, I stayed up much later than I should have to finish it. Which, really, you would think I'd have learned by now that, once I hit the half way - or, possibly, the two-thirds mark, I don't want to put these books down for anything. The only good news was that the next day was not a work day.
