Sleep with the light on
Just when I thought it couldn't get any better, Lee Mountford goes and does it again. Mountford knows exactly how to build an atmosphere of terror, so much so I am pretty sure I am now terrified of woodlands and I certainly slept with the lights on.

Although this is not the first of the books I have consumed by this author, he certainly had me captivated by Forest of the Damned, and I most certainly did not see that ending coming.

Forest of the Damned is a must read, for those that enjoy the horror genre. It is a well written page turner, that I was unable to put down. From the creepy forest setting, the choice of characters some of which I was glad to see the demise of and the intense shock factor. I would definitely recommend.

I liked it, just not as much as the previous books. Don't get me wrong, I love this series. Lon and Cady together as a couple is genius. Jupe is cool. The demons and world these guys live in is really thought out.

I just had one issue with it and that was the spell they used on Cady. It felt a lot like reliving the last 3 and a half books all over again with her not remembering the relationship with Lon and sort of falling for him all over again

The ending also wasn't as in-your-face/kill-that-biatch intense as I was expecting but I'm so glad that Cady managed to overcome her demons.<br/><br/>I have to mention the epilogue! I loved it! The way the author wrote it... *sigh* I wish there was going to be more.

"Hearing this Leonard Cohen stuff, after listening to the Red Hot Chilli Peppers it was like ‘this sounds like bullshit!’, I didn’t understand the layers of intellect that had gone into making that record, and the large element of humour. My dad is into Leonard Cohen, I remember hearing the older stuff, then my sister was getting into it because she was becoming very literary. I was basically absorbing Leonard Cohen but I wasn’t crazy about it. I remember hearing ‘The Story Of Isaac’ as a child and thinking ‘god, this is fully intense, it’s so bare’. I remember hearing I’m Your Man it and at first finding it a really odd, unenjoyable experience, but now I realise that it’s a very curious idea, this industrial Leonard Cohen record, it’s really cool! ‘First We Take Manhattan’, imagine being a musician and being able to put a song like that out."
