Review:- Talk about creepy, this book oozes creepiness, but in a good way. It will have you gripped from start to finish and you won't want to go into the London underground alone again. C.R.Y.P.T is short for Covert Response Youth Paranormal Team, they investigate the unexplained. So when a string of brutal attacks start with reports of ghosts and a highwayman, CRYPT are on the case.
Jud one of the main characters leads the investigations and takes his job very seriously. He is an excellent character if not a little intense at times. He let his temper get the better of him, but all in all a good guy. I wasn't as keen on Zakis, I felt his character was a little lacking and I didn't like the way he was towards people. They do have some very cool gadgets.
Working undercover CRYPT must get rid of the ghosts which are running amok in the city, feasting on the living. They are searching for clues, but finding it difficult to keep it under the radar. This book is a real page turner, you will not want to put it down. A fun but scary read. Parts of the book are barbaric, gory and down right creepy, some death scenes are very gruesome, but if you like that sort of thing, this book is for you. I am looking forward to reading the second book in the series.
I would highly recommend this book, if you love gore and being scared, then this book is for you. It is gripping and exciting. There is horror, gore, ghosts and lots of things that go bump in the night. I loved it.
