Okay…*claps hands together and rubs* Now we’re cooking.

Phantom Road #3 pulls a Fed shrouded in mystery, a freckle-faced Deputy, and even more otherworldly truck-stop weirdness into the mix. Yup. It’s a good one! :)

Special Agent Weaver gets the spotlight here. And damn! Does she have a story to tell. Can’t wait to see where and how this piece of the puzzle fits in with Dom and Birdie’s predicament.

I liked the grid layout in this book. It flowed, but still made me pause to admire the work. Plus, the colors and shadows added some creepiness and weight to the page and mood to the past and present. I loved the green glow of the Golden Pine Inn.

I’ll be watching for the next installment. Bring on the next infomercial!

another perspective

Dom and Birdie's action in the last issue are being investigated by the FBI.

a new set of characters enters as more pieces are set on the board.

a decent read.

Going back into the 90s and how the FBI got involved makes this story more interesting and deep. I'm liking this X-Files vibe.

Curious where Dom and Birdie's story goes.

And the plot thickens...
