Wow! This will rock your boat! Have your thinking cap close by and a list of the deadlies, as you figure out who represents what. Wonderfully written, thought provoking, dark novel about the souls who don't seem terribly sympathetic, yet show you both their good and evil sides. Just when you think you have it all figured out bam the twist hits. Good reading.

Author E.M. Knowles did it again. I was lucky enough to read this book while at sea which gave a very real backdrop for the words contained within the chapters. It is clear that this author does her research when it comes to historical scene setting and character development. Thanks to her vivid descriptions of very real areas, I was able to visualize the character's travels while they were on land. No character is insignificant or unintentional - they are all dynamic and purposeful. Her factual insight with the dramatic storytelling kept me engaged and intrigued. And as soon as I was sure I had figured out the plot, another twist came. I was in suspense until the end.

E.M. Knowles takes you on a maniacal (boat) ride and leaves you questioning reality! This book can best be described at Historical psychological horror, combining all of my favorite genres, and is set in my hometown of Tampa in the days of the Spanish influenza. Knowles descriptive writing takes you there, as Rodent fights the madness that surrounds him and threatens his very being! This is a must read!

Fantastic!
This book was not at all what I was expecting, but GAWD was it good. If you want something dark, twisted, and fantastically unique drop everything you're doing and read this book!
