In this installment, I was given insight into how the lives of my favourite characters have progressed. Ulrich is still up to no good. The actions of his past have come back to haunt him, forcing him to renew his mission of killing Onyx. Will he succeed this time? I learnt how Declan Mulvaney went from being a poor orphan to the billionaire he is today and what he lost in the process of building his empire. It explored in detail his relationship with his grandson Kouda. My suspicions, about whom the girl in the mirror was, were finally confirmed.
The characters intrigued me from the outset and I was eager to learn more about them. I was curious to know what influenced their decisions. I could not help but like them, from the villains to the not so perfect ones. What made it even more intriguing was that some of them were not even among the living. The fact that they have gone unnoticed is a mystery within itself. New characters were introduced which has added to the mystery. I am eager to find out what is their role in this tangled web.
It was interesting how the authors incorporated real life events into the story, which helped to give it a realistic feel. It was filled with twists and creepy events which were no surprise, as this was what I have come to expect from this series. The stories switched between different time periods, however, it was easy to follow. Eventually, as you progress through each episode the connection between the characters will become clear. The story was fast paced, intriguing, entertaining, addictive and well written. This is the type of story that will push you to go outside your comfort zone when it comes to reading a particular genre.
Verdict:
If you love ghost stories and mysteries, you will enjoy this series. Even if you are not a fan of ghost stories, I would recommend that you give this one a try as you may be pleasantly surprised.
