Elderly Martha Beckett is a prisoner in her own home, and has been ever since her older brother disappeared at just nine years old.

Six months on from her last brush with the paranormal, police officer Annie Graham, now Annie Ashworth, dreams of settling down and starting a family. But now that serial killer Henry Smith has escaped, she knows that trouble is coming. She thwarted him once, and he’s out for revenge.
When a local man vanishes in mysterious circumstances, Annie realises there may be darker forces at work. And when she takes a glimpse of a monster with a thirst for blood, her worst fears are confirmed.
With a serial killer on the loose and an unknown horror stalking the sewers, Annie is in a race against time to stop them before they kill again. But will she be able to save herself from their clutches?
I enjoyed getting to see more of characters like Jake, Kav and Cathy but I feel like both Annie and Will are "childlike" in a lot of their behaviour. They are around the same age as me and my husband but often act like teenagers.
The story from the 1930's was very interesting and I love the entire paranormal aspect of this series. I think it is mainly what keeps me continuing on.
I don't really like knowing who the bad guy is from the start of the book and seeing so much of what they are planning and so on. The ending was a little rushed and abrupt as well.
I will continue on with the next one as I would like to see how things end and what the next paranormal element will be.
