*My Thoughts*
Note: This review contains NO spoilers
I am stunned speechless... In a good way... Ha! What an incredibly riveting read with an abundance of sinister twists. So much was revealed in this third installment in the Death Diggers Handbook series, Divine Decay kept me "glued to my seat" wanting to know more of how Tempest and the citizens of Carnage Crossing was going to overcome and survive this ordeal. From beginning to end, the story was a whirlwind of revelations for the queen and its people of Carnage Crossing. Couldn't keep my heart from racing with anticipation after every chapter as new ominous secrets were divulged. I just had to know. Stacey Rourke has that grim knack to bring the dark and menacing into a compelling and intriguing story, I would have to say along the lines of the storytelling style of Tim Burton. I enjoyed the subtleness of the developing romance. The ending was definitely a macabre happy ending... for some. But then, the end was not the end, but another shocking twist into this series that was an absolute "jaw-dropper" that I guess I didn't see coming... Or did it?!? Hmmm. 🤔
Whoa! What the heck, Stacey!!!
Stacey had me snickering, laughing, and crying throughout as I followed Tempest's journey. This is definitely a great series to read, especially during the Halloween season... Ha!
