I appreciated the way the author handled the themes of trust, forgiveness and redemption which were woven seamlessly into the plot. The characters were well-developed and relatable , with their flaws and vulnerabilities adding depth to the story

A book that talks about how Nico was eager to leave the city with his family and head north, believed to be plague-free but later face the sins of the past and the doubt of the future. I like how the author viewpoint was well structure and connected and how the book was suspenseful. Nice review.

Since I haven't read the first two books, I think I will have a hard time coping with the storyline in this book. I also occasionally pick up this genre, since I'm a little picky about fantasy novels. But I'm pretty sure this book is a hit with the targeted audience. I'll let Nico's journey in this book spread to the very fans of the fantasy book series, On the Trail of the Unseen. Congratulations to the author on BOTD!

Review is quite fascinating. After reading your review, I'm highly tempted to finish the entire series.
I also enjoy reading books that aren't afraid to go into detail about graphic sex, and I occasionally feel angry at writers who try to manipulate our ideas of intimacy. But I also enjoy stories that are primarily concerned with the dynamics of the relationships between the characters. I'm going to try reading this book. I appreciate your review.

On the Trail series sounds like a great survival series. I hope Nico survives the pandemic and normalcy is restored at the end. I'm definitely going to look for the first two books of this series.

The reviewer explores the magical, medieval realm as the characters try to fight an unknown disease. Can be stand-alone but there are two previous ones in the series for those who want more. Interesting choice of a plot for our time.

"On the Trail of the Unseen" is a captivating documentary series that explores the mysteries of the supernatural world. The series follows a team of paranormal investigators as they travel across the country to investigate reports of ghostly encounters and other unexplained phenomena. Each episode focuses on a different location, ranging from abandoned hospitals to historic mansions, and features interviews with witnesses and experts in the field.

One of the strengths of the series is its attention to detail. The investigators use a variety of tools and techniques to capture evidence of paranormal activity, including thermal imaging cameras, electromagnetic field detectors, and voice recorders. They also take the time to research the history of each location, looking for clues that might help explain the reported phenomena. This attention to detail helps to create a sense of authenticity and credibility that is often lacking in other paranormal shows.

Another strength of the series is its focus on the human element. The investigators are not portrayed as infallible experts, but rather as real people with their own fears and doubts. They are often shown experiencing genuine moments of fear and excitement, which helps to create a sense of empathy with the viewer. Additionally, the series features interviews with witnesses who share their own stories of paranormal encounters, adding another layer of human interest to the show.

That being said, "On the Trail of the Unseen" is not without its flaws. Some viewers may find the pacing of the show to be slow, as the investigators spend a lot of time setting up equipment and waiting for something to happen. Additionally, some of the evidence presented in the show may be open to interpretation, and skeptics may find it unconvincing.

Overall, "On the Trail of the Unseen" is a well-produced and engaging series that will appeal to fans of the paranormal genre. While it may not convince skeptics of the existence of ghosts, it does provide an interesting look into the world of paranormal investigation and the people who devote their lives to it.

I am not too keen on sci-fi stories because I get confused with the futuristic descriptions. That this is the third book in the series makes it even more challenging. I am sure Nico and his family will have many fans, though.

The book seems to have lots of good points, and I like that the author managed to maintain the suspense throughout. I'm still not convinced that this is the book for me, seeing as I'm not much for this kind of fiction. Still, I enjoyed your review. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

This sounds like an interesting book. I'm curious about the plague. Will they find the cure? And what was the cause? Thanks for the review.

This seems to be an interesting fictional book. The cure for this mysterious plague must be traced to the north, which is plague-free. However, the journey appears treacherous and danger prone. Thanks for the review.
