This series just seems to be getting better with each book! 

Totem of Terror returns to the characters in the Eidola Project. They are called to La Push to help the native people who are being attacked by a Demon. Can they end the terror these people face? Are they safe themselves? 

This is the kind of series that really gets its claws into you. As each book goes by, I feel more connected to the characters. They gain a greater depth, their connections grow stronger. I just love seeing them grow and evolve together. I hated Nigel when I started the series but he is starting to worm his way into my heart. He is absolutely a morally grey character, but he has a truly caring side that is slowly being released as he grows to trust the world and other people again.

It’s really hard for a book to actually scare me, it only happens on rare occasions. But Robert writes horror so well that it really is able to creep me out. I absolutely love the blend of paranormal and historical fiction. I truly feel like I’m traveling back in time and joining the Eidola Project on their journeys. As much as I have a soft spot for Nigel, I would love to see more of the other characters again as they do not feel quite as well developed. I am very much looking forward to the next instalment in this series.

I recommend this series to fans of horror/paranormal based in a historical period. I want to thank Robert Herold for sending me a copy of this book so I can give my personal thoughts.
