A plane disappears with a boy and his mother onboard, and 20 years later, a large, fully grown man appears back in Philly. The man struggles to remember who he was, return to Helsinki and reunite with his mother. During his journey, an evil creature tries to break boundaries and use a cult to stir up chaos that will allow her to cross over.
This is the fourth book by Alex Grass that I have had the pleasure of reading, and it is my favourite. The story is so bizarre and captivating that it was hard to put the book down.
I found the main character lovable and the villains extremely dislikable (in the best way). Alex Grass brings a cult aspect in such a creepy way, using them as pawns for the bigger picture.
Having Finnish mythology intertwined through the story culminating at the end was fascinating. It was a roller coaster getting to know the various characters, but they were all brought together at the end.
This may not be for you if you are sensitive to disturbing language and vulgarity. However, I thoroughly enjoyed this book and would expect nothing less from an Alex Grass book.
