Dust to Dust: Experiment in Terror, Book 9

August 11, 2014

*I received an ARC from the author in exchange for an honest review. The end of one of my favorite series has come. No more Experiment in Terror books. No more Dex & Perry. A friend of mine raved about how good this series was, but it wasn't until about a month before Ashes to Ashes released that I started reading it. I was completely hooked! I took me about a month to read books #1-8. I was in LOVE! In love with the creepiness, with Dex & Perry (whom quickly became one of my all-time fave...

The ninth and final novel of the Experiment in Terror series is Dust to Dust. It's been a long and crazy ride for author Karina Halle. She has done a remarkable job keeping this lengthy series fresh and exciting when many authors would have struggled to do the same.

Haunted houses. Spooky sanatoriums....

However, their conclusion was a little boring compared to everything they'd been...

This will be a random stream of consciousness but it will be real. There will probably be SPOILERS so, you've been warned. I love this series. This book, the final chapter in this story was perfect. In these books Karina Halle gives us real, relatable, flawed, human characters in Dex and Perry. They are surrounded by a...

“I love you! Always have, always will. Always.” I still remember quite clearly the day I first picked up Darkhouse while I was serving jury duty. I had seen some rave reviews from one of my favorite Goodreads reviewers (Kristin (KC), for which I thank you), and I didn’t know what to expect. I literally read the first two books while sitting in that room, waiting to be selected or sent home, and from then on, I was hooked. Ms. Halle created an original universe that cannot be replicated, and...
