Synopsis

Flesh-eating danger abounds in the chilling sequel to The Monstrumologist that is “as fast-paced, elegant, and, yes, gruesome as its predecessor” (Publishers Weekly, starred review). While Dr. Warthrop is attempting to disprove that Homo vampiris, the vampire, could exist, his former fiancée asks him to save her husband, who has been captured by a Wendigo—a creature that starves even as it gorges itself on human flesh. Although Dr. Warthrop considers the Wendigo to be fictitious, he relents and performs the rescue—but is he right to doubt the Wendigo’s existence? Can the doctor and Will Henry hunt down the ultimate predator, who, like the legendary vampire, is neither living nor dead, and whose hunger for human flesh is never satisfied? This second book in The Monstrumologist series explores the line between myth and reality, love and hate, genius and madness. "A page-turner of an historical horror that will simultaneously thrill readers and make them sick to their stomachs."—Kirkus Reviews, starred review  Booklist Editors' Choice • ALA Best Books For Young Adults • Volunteer State Book Award Nominee (TN) • Kirkus Best Children's Book

Goodreads review by Evelyn (devours and digests words) on September 19, 2015

The sequel to The Monstrumologist is like a punch to the gut, and an arrow through the heart. I must say... it was quite a torture reading this but it's a blissful one. No kidding. This was great. If not better than the first book itself. Granted. By the time, I finished the book I was left with a t......more
