My Review:
Book 3 of the Hostile series moves forward in time to when Serena Drummond is eighteen years old and pregnant. Tile X reveals to her that there is another 'tile-bearer' and that like it or not they are in competition with each other in a grisly numbers game to achieve the highest death toll. The consequences for the loser is a hell beyond the scope of nightmares. Now I know why I am hooked on this series. The story in each of the books so far, is not more of the same. Each book steps up to another level, just when you think it couldn't get any worse. Watch out for my review of book 4, I'm already half way through it.
