The synopsis gives a broad introduction to "The Prisoner of Fear", so with that being said, I am not going to give any details of what lies within.

My thoughts:
The main character's Braham and Doyle are wonderfully developed. Their bantering at times had me chuckling as their personalities are so opposite. Doyle is more adventerous while Braham is cantankerous. They take us on their investigations and it felt as if I was right along side them trying to uncover the mysterious events that are occuring. 

I really enjoyed the writing style, diary entries, letters, and reports from all the character's involved. I loved reading the first person POV, it made the story flow smoothly and gives insight to all the character's thoughts and personalities. 

The setting is well developed as it made me feel like I stepped back in time. The imagery at times was really dark and unsettling. I could feel the sadness, the anxiety, and the fear. The whole story is filled with suspense and mystery, it kept me on edge and fearing the outcome. The possibilities seemed endless, knowing that anything could happen. There is also an anonymous character that added to the mystery and suspense, the name is never revealed leaving the ending open to continue into the next book. (For me, cliffhangers are exciting, it lets me know that I have more to look forward to.)

Atmospheric, tense, and often times chilling, I really enjoyed the depth in this book and I am looking forward to visiting these characters in the next book!
