Reactions and Reviews
This fourth season novel is in two parts, a bit loosely connected but continuing the same storyline. A mysterious woman whom tunnel kids call "the witch," apparently a deranged street person, has been luring the children with gifts, some of them expensive. Vincent is troubled, suspicious of the woman's intentions and worried that the children (particularly Kipper) continue to seek the woman out though forbidden to do so. As Diana begins to try to learn who the woman is and why she's so interested in the children, she discovers a fact about the tunnels' past which upsets Vincent even more. Quite unintentionally, this strange woman has been terribly wronged—what can be done to rectify the situation? Meanwhile Diana has been investigating a case involving a serial killer. That plot thread dominates the story's second half, focused on Diana's deep fear of madness. Threatened by the killer, she's imprisoned in an asylum and given psychoactive drugs. Will Vincent be able to save her...or her sanity?More action-oriented than romantic, this story never-the-less follows the deepening closeness between Vincent and Diana and shows them working, with devastating effectiveness, as a team: both are hunters. Diana's sidekicks, klutzy cop and childhood chum Ryan Delaney and research whiz Hack, as well as longtime friend and confidante Father Poole, are well conceived and add to the story's development and texture. Those who have enjoyed Wood's short fiction (and her fine artwork) in the Phoenix and Huntress series will find this, her first novel, a rare treat.
Splendid cover art and several interior illustrations by the author. [1]
