The Invisible Guardian by Dolores RedondoMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
The murders in The Invisible Guardian are more grisly and the mystical elements are more prominent than in All This I Will Give to You, but the protagonist Amaia Salazar is a revelation.. She is strong and capable yet has trauma in her past and deals with sexism and family pressures. It takes place in the Basque country, and again the atmosphere, culture, and food take center stage. I personally love how Redondo combines a culture's mythology and history in with her mysteries. (I did watch the movie on Amazon under the same name and like most adaptations, it falls quite short of the book. The actress who plays Amaia does a more than adequate job, however). TT

The fear factor in children has much more to do with imaginary terror than real horrors. That's why they are victims in so many cases, because they're incapable of distinguishing between real and imaginary risks.
