Kev Harrison's 'The Shadow of the Hidden' is to be highly recommended for its original setting, its well-drawn and appealing characters, and its choice of lore; the tale takes place in Turkey, Tunisia and Egypt, the characters range from sympathetic Turks and mysterious Sunni Muslim Imams to British interpreters, and the villain of the piece is a horrific, sinister, evil Djinn. This all makes the book unique and destined to have a lingering impact. If Tim Powers wrote horror, this would be what he'd come up with: a heroic trio hunted by a Djinn, victim of an ancient pre-Islam curse, yet each character approaching their problems rationally, with prudence and thought. There's romance, there's magic, there's nuance, and there are also a couple of gruesome scenes that remind one this isn't fantasy - it's horror, steeped in Islamic culture! And by all accounts, there's a sequel in the works. If you haven't read Harrison before, this is the perfect introduction to this amazing author!

I love this cover it definitely drew me in just from the cover!

This was an awesome read! It had all the bells and whistles... it was fast paced, which is always a good thing, it had the twists and turn and took you on a ride you won't forget! The one thing that i can say is it will pull on your heartstrings when you read it. It will pull you into the adventure, the perils of friendship and the sacrifice with the background of the Middle East.

Hope to read more from this author and definitely will recommend! Great Read
