I love the Monstrumologist series. This second in the trilogy (yes, read the first one first) continues the adventures of Dr. Warthrop and his trusty 12-year-old assistant, William Henry. This time, they're off into the wilderness to rescue an old school friend and fellow monstrumologist of Pellinor Warthrop's who has gone missing. Mentor to both the Dr. Warthrop and his friend, John, Dr. von Helrung warns the mythical Wendigo has devoured John and as such, what was once John must be destroyed. The writing is crisp, sparkling, magical in its ability to hold you captive and make you think. Is there such a thing as a Wendigo? Or is a man, minus his humanity and sanity, a kind of monster masquerading as a Wendigo? Brilliant, fast-paced, and missing nothing (warning: there is graphic gore and violence), this book is a perfect blend of action, education (life, love and other things), relationships and the great unknown. I loved it.
