John Doyle and Thomas Braham are back with Scarlett as well to find out just who is the mastermind behind the creature that Cordelia turned into in the first book. The book is written in diary form with Thomas, John, Scarlett, and an anonymous person writing entries. The anonymous person writing is being held captive somewhere, by someone and is being put through the same procedures that Cordelia was put through that turned her into a monster. The first book introduces the anonymous writer but, in this book, we finally find out who it is, and I was beyond shocked. I did not see the twist coming. I am very curious to find out who the mysterious people wearing the copper gas masks lurking and watching the duo.
The story is written very well. I really love the diary form that the book is written in as it's nice to see the different perspectives. The character development also continued to grow, and I can see it continuing in the next book. I also love the period this book is set in; in my opinion you cannot go wrong with a historical fiction book. You will not be disappointed with this series.
