Eliza Sky's attempt to create a new life for herself away from the orphanage she once called home looks to be yielding fruit. She has joined an odd group, young girls of different races with a zest for life she has never experienced and a view on the ways of the world that will make the others at the orphanage blush. Despite the camaraderie among Eliza's new friends, there remains a gnawing feeling at the back of her mind that all is not well. What Eliza does not know is that something dark and ominous has decided it has unfinished business with her, and it will not stop till it sates its appetite. Only time will tell who comes out on top in this deadly chase in Max Davine's Creatures of the Night.
Max Davine uses Eliza's flashbacks of her interactions with the people at the orphanage and her frequent, yet vague, references to a particular male figure from her past to craft an immersive origin story that keeps readers glued to the pages. The dialogue is straightforward, and the mix of slang and racial slurs by both Eliza's colleagues and the men makes it easier for readers to associate the narrative with the particular period in history. When coupled with the men's references to Eliza's traveling companions' purported professions, this adds a layer to the story that will appeal to historical fiction enthusiasts. Davine's ballad-like delivery, along with a graduated pace, makes it almost impossible for adventure and horror genre aficionados to put this fascinating novel down. I enjoyed reading Creatures of the Night.
