Secret of Black Rock Mountain is the sixth book in Robin Murphy's Marie Bartek & The SIPS Team series. Marie Bartek-Miller and her fellow SIPS team members investigate paranormal activities throughout Sullivan's Island. When a fourteen-year-old girl named Katie Roach starts seeing terrifying visions of a group of burnt bodies with their throats cut and tied to a witness tree, Marie and her friends discover the hand of the Gapland Witch and her coven, who have been kidnapping children to use them for a blood moon ritual that will grant them eternal life. Upon the advice of her spirit guides, Marie and her team join forces with Theodicas van Damm and his priest, Malachi. But now, Katie has been taken, and Marie and her friends must find a way to stop the coven.
Author Robin Murphy brews a potent concoction of suspense, magic, and paranormal mystery with this fascinating tale of wizards, witches, and blood rituals. Secret of Black Rock Mountain is a paranormal sleuth mystery with a healthy dose of thrills and supernatural lore that is bound to entertain fans of the genre. Murphy moves the plot at a blistering pace, and it's filled to the brim with shocking reveals and twists and turns that keep your eyes glued to the pages. I really enjoyed the dynamic between the members of the SIPS team and how they came to work together for Katie and the kidnapped children. Despite being part of a series, the book reads perfectly well as a standalone. Recommended to paranormal mystery readers.
