Swivel finds himself a garden, ready for harvesting, and wastes no time getting himself some more fingers, while Declan wanders around the realm of insanity looking for Reese. She finds him instead, well sort of, in the house Swivel told her Declan used to live in, and she has some questions for the tall cold one. Instead of waiting around for him to remember anything she decides they should take a look around the place. They find themselves in what appears to be one of Declan's repressed memories.
The memory is not a pleasant one, as you can well imagine, and it involves a thief, red long johns, chicken heads, and fingers. Always with the fingers. And speaking of fingers, Swivel shows up at the end of the memory, and leads them to another one which involves a face familiar to those who paid attention to the first Colder series. And Once Memory Lane is over with, Swivel shows up and he and Declan have themselves some serious alone time.
This story is just getting weirder and weirder, and you know what? There's no sense trying to figure it out, as we the reader are pretty well right where poor Reese must be…confused as all fuck. But that's part of the charm of the book: it's like a twisted and brutal roller coaster ride in the dark. You have no clue what direction it's going accept forward so just enjoy the trip. The artwork of Juan Ferreyra makes it all the more simpler to enjoy the trippy ride because his output is the kind you just can't get enough of. The expressions of shock and disbelief on the faces of those who lose their fingers are perfect and exactly what you might expect should your own fingers get lopped off. “Wh-wh-what the fuck?!! AAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!â€
Swivel is the best. Can't wait to see where this one goes.
