Shadow of the Hidden: A Novel of Adventure Horror by Kev HarrisonMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Shadow of the Hidden is a compelling read. It has a fast pace, and takes the reader on a quest of sorts to find out if it's possible curses and the existence of a Djinn is possible.
Written in first person, we see it all through the eyes of a British man who has been living in this culture, and struggles to believe the events that takes place. Through this main character's eyes, Harrison absorbs us in the Turkish culture through not just description of location, but conversation, food and archeology. It's almost like we, the reader, are actually there.
The more the main characters discover, the faster the pace, and we get to visit Morocco and Egypt along the way. It ends in a dark confrontation, which for any horror lover is the pièce de résistance, and very well executed, and though we hope for a happy ending, we are left with a twist, and an opening.
I hope to read future tales from these characters as I really enjoyed them and wonder what other dark happenings they might uncover in other parts of the world.
