VESSELS is perfect the way it is, but I did like the ending of THE HIDES about half a star more than I did this one.
In this volume, the third Timmy (Tim) Quinn book, I found myself reading about a whole other man, a darker individual than I'd previously known. The book opens with an admission of guilt from Tim's father. Anyone who's read the first two books will have seen this coming, but Burke finally gave us a definitive answer. The opening isn't quite as good as the prologue of THE HIDES either, but it fit.
Kim's back! I was ecstatic to see Tim's girlfriend return. Since I know there's a series coming about Tim and Kim's daughter I saw this coming eventually but didn't know which book to expect it in. Once again, Burke's character interactions shine brightly. You could feel the years of space between them mend like a tended wound. It was a lovely thing to witness; something Burke handled exceptionally well.
VESSELS does not wont for scares either. The first scene in the chapel... *shivers*. I've never had a jump scare in a book, but at the realization that there was nothing there anymore (when you read it, you'll understand that sentence) I flinched as if I'd been goosed by the boogeyman.
Oh, and Father Brennan is utterly terrifying. I have four words for you...
Because I ate them.
I could drone on and on about Burke's style and flow and genius, but I've done that several times before. VESSELS does not disappoint, but THE HIDES is still my favorite in the series so far. Sorry, Kealan, you outdid yourself with the second book's opening and closing action. I'm looking forward to PEREGRINE'S TALE, and then it's off to finish the fight with NEMESIS.
I don't want it to end! (
