Relation Toward Books The Isle of Blood (The Monstrumologist #3)
When Dr. Warthrop goes hunting the "Holy Grail of Monstrumology" with his eager new assistant, Arkwright, he leaves Will Henry in New York. Finally, Will can enjoy something that always seemed out of reach: a normal life with a real family. But part of Will can't let go of Dr. Warthrop, and when Arkwright returns claiming that the doctor is dead, Will is devastated--and not convinced.
Determined to discover the truth, Will travels to London, knowing that if he succeeds, he will be plunging into depths of horror worse than anything he has experienced so far. His journey will take him to Socotra, the Isle of Blood, where human beings are used to make nests and blood rains from the sky--and will put Will Henry's loyalty to the ultimate test.

The study of Aberrant Biological Specimens...aka...monsters... ...is the purview of the Society for the Advancement of the Science of Monstrumology. Professor Pellinore Warthrop is the worlds foremost monstrumologist and, together with Will Henry, his teenage ward, the pair investigate the strange, mysterious and deadly biological phenomena of the 19th century. A cross between Sherlock Holmes, the X-files, and the adventure tales of Jules Verne, with an added blanket of lovecraftian dread
Cross posted to The BiblioSanctum http://bibliosanctum.blogspot.com/201...After having positive experiences with both the first two books in The Monstrumologist series, I eagerly anticipated getting my hands on the third book. This probably explains why I wasn't entirely prepared for my disappointed reaction when I finished. Don't get me wrong; on it's own and outside any biases or pre-conceived notions, this book is a solid horror novel for young adults. But compared to the The Monstrumologist

A lot of things happened in this book and I'm still feeling the aftermath of Yancey's madness.This book is extreme. Loyalties were tested. Humanity was strained and emotions are rushing like a tsunami. Will Henry's part in this book is equally heart breaking and

Review originally posted on Books With Chemistry (click to see it) on February 2015, but written on July 2014. I wanted to tell you this is the very first book review I wrote. Aside from some corrections on obvious spelling and grammar mistakes, the review is the same. Basically, what I am telling you is that the impact this series caused on me was of such magnitude as to make me start my passion for reviewing.
