Catacomb by Madeleine Roux


 This is the third book in the Asylum series. It was really good. 

Dan, Abby and Jordan are on a road trip to New Orleans. Jordan is planning staying with his uncle Steve. Abby is wanting to make a few stops along the way to take pictures and do some research on a bad guy by the name of Jimmy Orsini who was caught making and selling booze. Even though Jordan just wants to get there, he lets her do what's she wanting to do. Dan's still having strange dreams and doesn't really want to tell his friends.

All three of them, have to stop because of the car getting a flat tire. They walk the few miles to the town up ahead of them. There's a sign on the gas stations door saying the guys next door. They meet a guy and he helps them get a new tire. Abby, feels weird about the guy, but lets it go. When they finish changing the tire they head back into town to get something to eat. Dan isn't feeling very hungry and only orders a coke. He takes his pill and just sits there listening to Abby talk to the older guy. 

They need to find a place to camp for the night and Dan isn't liking that. He wants a bed really badly. He also notices that there's a person on a motorcycle watching them. It took him a few minutes to notice it. 

They finally get on the road again. Abby wants to go to this library in Shreveport. It will take them most of the day. Abby and them get there and they go inside. What's interesting is Dan finds some interesting things in a glass case. Jordan, opens the case and lets Dan take a closer look. He sees some things about his parents that died. Jordan sees some things that Abby might want to read on. A few articles.

They finally make it to New Orleans and to Jordan's uncles. They are happy to be there because now the will have a bed to sleep in. Things will be okay, at least Dan hopes so, tell they meet Oliver. Jordan doesn't like him and figures there's something off about him. Its the stories Oliver starts to tell Dan that's become really weird. Dan's not sure what to make of it, tell later that day when they get back to Jordan's uncles house and there's a guy there talking to him. 

The guy introduces himself as Mr. Finnoway. He seems a little uppity. But, what Dan doesn't realize is this very powerful person is going to try and take his life and bones. He's a bone collector. Because of who his mom is, he wants to stop Dan from doing any more investigating into what his little group is really doing. One day, Dan goes where he shouldn't and ends up having his little finger being cut off. He's in a lot of pain when he wakes up. Then, after getting back to Jordan's uncles, a cop shows up to arrest him for murder. This whole thing, isn't going very will for him.

The book has really short chapters so its an easy book to read. I was having a hard time putting the book down the farther I got into it. 

Well, I'm off to start another book. Remember to check out older posts. You might find a book you will want to pick up.

Girl in ice by Erica Ferencik


 This was a very good book. A page turner and very interesting in a way that it was different than any other kind of book that I've read before. Did learn something as will.

Val Chesterfield is a linguist train to study languages. Her brother Andy was a climate scientist and was in Greenland's barren coast and he died there. She blamed Wyatt for what happened because he worked for him. She didn't believe the story that was given. 

Then, one day she gets a message from Wyatt that he had a girl there that he found and she wasn't speaking an language he was understanding and he wanted her to come to the Arctic to help him understand her. She had gone to see her dad, told him what was asked of her and her dad said maybe she should go. It was a trip she was a little iffy on. Her dad talked her into it. 

She wasn't the only one's going. She met Nora and her husband Raj. They were doing some research up there. She wasn't going to be alone. When they got there. Wyatt told them this story about finding the girl frozen in ice. At first, they didn't believe him at all. Val went into the room she was staying in and looked at her. She was all dirty and wearing an old Christmas sweater. She looked like she had been through something. 

Jeanne was a lady that did all the cooking and fixing of things there. She seemed harmless. The longer she was there trying to figure out what language the girl spoke the more the girl started to show her pictures of stuff she was trying to tell Val. 

Wyatt started to suspect that Val was hiding things from him. He started showing her a side of himself that made her nervous. She had been learning some of her language and was trying to tell him about it, but he didn't seem to want to know that. She knew there was something else going on. So, while they were out doing some things, she started snooping. She found slides he had been hanging onto. She took the girl which she named, Sigrid, with her, out to the dome where Nora and Raj were doing there work. They started to like the girl. It just took them time to get used to her. 

After some time, the girl started to get sick. They didn't know what to do. Sigrid, did try to tell Val what needed to happen to help her and Val tried to tell Wyatt and he called her a liar. Things are going to happen and it may not be good. 

Pick up the book if you want to know what happens. Remember to check old the older posts, you might find a new book to pick up. 

Well, I'm off to start a new book. Enjoy a good book, you never know what is out there, tell you find it.
