The cover page of this book looks bloody. It must be a horror book. I'm not a fan of horror books. But your is captivating. Great review.

It's a shame that the book is poorly edited. However, from the cover page up to the storyline, the book catches my attention. What an amazing review you pulled up!

I love crime thrillers if they are not too horrific. Although I'd find the legends from the Philippines intriguing, I am afraid that the horrifying creature and a mummified fetus sound too much for my taste. I would surely get nightmares from this book... :o

Anyway, thank you for the most lovely review! It was a pleasure reading your thoughts.

I know I would love this novel. Philippine mythology is not something that is often mentioned, and I'd really like to know more about it. Thank you for the great review :)

It seems there is a lot of mystery to be unravelled in this book. What is the connection between the monster and the wealthy family?

"Also, I liked the scene with Althea, Luther's fiancée, scaring away the monster that harmed her with a salt and garlic solution."

A garlic again? This is such a popular plant! According to many books and movies, vampires fear him too.
I wonder what other monsters are afraid of poor innocent garlic? :mrgreen:

Anyway, thanks for great review.
