Despite the danger, Jun is unable to resist the chance to take revenge on the man who left so many of his friends dead. However, Professor Crow has his own scores to settle ...

Better than the first

Reviewed in the United States on September 21, 2018

I received a free copy of this book from Booksprout in exchange for my honest review.

The Castle of Nightmares is the second book in the Tales of Crow series by Chris Ward. It's seven years after the events of the first book, and Jun, one of the few survivors, has actively been searching for Crow. Thanks to the crazy people on the internet, he finds Crow in Romania.

I liked this book better than the first. There was a larger cast of characters with more varied backgrounds than we saw in the first book. There was also significantly less personal angst, which I appreciated. I thought the characters interacted well with each other, and the author did a lovely job with his descriptions of the area. Another mark in the plus column is that I spotted only a few proofreading errors.

Like the first book, this one focused on a different point of view for each chapter. I'm not sure why, but it didn't feel quite as choppy this time around. Lots of bloody death, and some of it was actually a bit surprising. Another surprise was who ended up being the heroes of this story.

The one thing I really didn't like was the extremely abrupt ending. I realize this is supposed to suck readers in so they'll go on to the third and fourth books in the series, but I'm not sure I'm invested enough in the characters to bother. I have no patience for Jun at this point. The little girl, though....it might be worth it to see how she turns out. There was a bit of foreshadowing near the end that piqued my interest in her. Will it be enough?

Great books!!!

Reviewed in the United States on November 25, 2018

I am amazed at how much more creepy Professor Crowe has become since book 1 in this series. I didn't think it was possible to get for him to get worse, but he did. I could not put it down and I was either scared, terrified or both the entire book. Chris Ward has done an exemplary job creating the evil genius as well as the world he created in book 1 and book 2. I am so excited that book 3 is ready for me to read. This is an awesome series and I highly recommend it. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Was slightly disappointed with end. I'll finish the saga

Reviewed in the United States on October 1, 2018

I have been hooked on several of Chris Ward's series and this is definitely one of them. After reading the first, I knew that number two would be coming and now I'm looking forward to number three. I get very attached to the characters in this series. The author has developed them well and they become like a part of the family. This is a page-turner as well and kept me on the edge of my seat. This would make a great movie.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
