In the second book Victor makes an instrument using a mystical book that allows him to crossover to the spirit world to talk to Konrad.  Konrad is trapped in house just like his earthly one.  A evil spirit of some kind is trying to enter the house.  Meanwhile, Victor is trying to make a body for Victor according to what he has learned from the book.  The creature, however, is not Konrad but a minion of the spirit from the spirtual world. At the end there is a battle between good and evil.  This was a good book that built up to a much better climax than the first.

Susan came to me and mentioned that she had read This Dark Endeavor and really liked it.  I offered her a copy of the sequel, Such Wicked Intent, if she reviewed it for me. That’s how we roll around here.  I, too, have read this series – because Susan liked it so much and told me to – and it is really very good.  And in the spirit of confession you should know: I have written 3 papers on the original Frankenstein by Mary Shelley (1 in high school and 2 in college) and I really didn’t like it.  I know many will find that to be a statement of blasphemy, but it was really boring if you ask me.  These books are not.  So Frankenstein has been redeemed for me.
