Jerusalem's Undead Trilogy

It is one in the morning, and I have just finished Eric Wilson’s book, Haunt of Jackals. I will definitely read this again and again. This book is the second in the Jerusalem’s Undead Trilogy. And, like its first part, Field of Blood, this book is great.

*To read my post on Field of Blood, go here: Field of Blood *

Having recently read Field of Blood for the second time, I was itching to get Haunt of Jackals. I received it in the mail as a gift from a friend, and jumped right on in to the story. Twelve hours later, I read the last page and about screamed. One, because it’s a FANTASTIC story. Two, because I was right about the author of the journal entries. *HA!*

Eric continues weaving in the threads of history through this work, making you think and sometimes wonder. He continues to expound on the stories of Nistarim and the Collectors, as well as Gina’s own history. And we also learn more about the mysterious Cal—what an interesting tale there, though I’m sure there is more to be revealed.

This story answers many questions, but also leaves you with new questions, which I’m waiting to find the answers to in Valley of Bones.

And still yet, my only complaint: Mr. Wilson! (Gee, I just felt like Dennis the Menace) Why do I have to wait so long for the next book?!

I most definitely will wait, but who says I have to be patient about it? ;-)
