First off I have to apologize, I began reading this book before I realized it was the third book in a series. I am in the process of rectifying the situation and will be posting on the previous two books as soon as possible. Dan, Abby and Jordan are three friends that have a long and interesting history. They have had experiences that are outside of the norm and have faced many dangers together. As the trio prepare to enter life after high school and go their own way, they decide on a road trip to take Jordan to New Orleans. Jordan will be living with his Uncle and attending college in the historic city. Ellie plans on pursuing her art and Dan will be returning home to attend college.
Along their route, they get an inkling that something is not as it should be. Strange things begin to happen and Dan reveals that he stole some folders from the "Warden". People are following them and mysterious things begin to happen, like unexpected visitors outside of their tent in the middle of the night. Do the trio know who they can trust? Where are they safe. This harrowing tale and the nefarious people that they encounter help answer a lot of questions that Dan has about his past. Dan who grew up with adoptive parents has always had questions about his family, who they were and why did they abandon him... The paranormal is definitely involved in this interesting tale, in the guise of other worldly texts from a dead friend and ghostly visions of Dan's father. Where else can this story take them but into the Catacombs under New Orleans.
I did find this book a very interesting read, unfortunately was a bit lost, because it was the third book in a series. I am going to withhold my rating until I have read all three books. Please look for updates in the near future. I can say however, that this book is appropriate for middle school readers and older and that everyone should be able to enjoy the story.
