In Erebus, Debi Chestnut wrote the intriguing story of a young lady, Izabela, that worked with the Institute of Scientific Anomalies. She had gone to Morgan crossing to enjoy her leave of absence when the disturbing death of livestock in the area brought the sheriff, the mayor, and the professor to her house. They needed her help because they had unearthed a hell hound that was causing the death of livestock in the area. In the process of finding a solution, the professor was assassinated.
Could they find a solution to the death of the livestock or find the killers of the professor in the series of events that came afterward?

This story discussed paranormal activities and also brought to light the fact that some archeologists could dig up various artifacts that could be extremely dangerous to life and livestock. The author used the story to stress that it is important that all artifacts be studied and protected in order to avoid danger and a high mortality rate.

The story had a lot of positive points. Firstly, the author was able to help the layman understand the existence of paranormals and the ways these paranormals performed their rituals and incantations. He did the perfect job of explaining the concept to the readers. I also loved that the book highlighted how ignorance could lead to high mortality of livestock and advised archeologists to take note of that while digging up artifacts. The story was very educative. It made the reader understand that paranormals are able to live with friends who are not paranormals and also fall in love with those who are not paranormals. The book was concise and straight to the point. It could seize the attention of the reader from the beginning to the very last sentence.

This book was an enjoyable read. I found nothing to dislike about it. It was a captivating story that had good educational value. I couldn't fault any part of it.

The book was professionally edited. I found an error in it, but that wasn't enough to take a thing away from my enjoyment of the book. I rate the book 4 out of 4 stars. I didn't deduct any stars because the story was captivating and very educative. I gained some new knowledge from it, and I am sure other readers who aren't conversant with conversations around archeology and paranormal activities will learn a lot from it as well.

I will recommend the book to archeologists, lovers of romance fiction, and crime detectors.

I don’t so much like romance, but the mysterious destruction of livestock seems really interesting. Especially the part where the professor gave up his life during th investigation. Thanks for the review!

I think there's a lot we can learn from paranormal activities. However it must be dealt with precaution and sensitivity in order to conserve what we gained
