5 CAPTIVATING AND HIGHLY ENTERTAINING STARS.
Let me start off by saying that Dead Sky Morning was by far the scariest installment of the Experiment In Terror series yet (and at the same time also my favorite one so far)...
When I started reading it, I thought I was in for a relaxing read
"Where are we?
This is the Island of Death. This is purgatory. This place has a dark soul of its own. And it will drown you in its depths.
Dex and Perry alone on a creepy island..Spending a secluded weekend trying to capture any ghostly sightings on film but they are in for more than they bargained for..
There is something about the island which instills fear and doubt into the pair and it soon becomes apparent that there is more to fear than just the ghosts...
Both Perry and Dex become ...more

5 TERRIFYING Stars
Off the coast of Vancouver, eerily silent in the Pacific Ocean, shrouded in mist, lies the D'Arcy Island. A national monument that witnessed horror like no other. It's the setting for a new episode in a thrilling new web series, Experiment in Terror, that gains in popularity and fans. This will be one hell of an episode to watch for, if the hostess and ...more

Dead Sky Morning has certainly amped up the intensity! This chilling installation takes everything I love about this series and dramatically enhances it. The terror, the flirting, the fun, the steam, the danger, and the twisted scenarios are all fearlessly catapulted to new heights. Dex and Perry take their skills to Canada's Island of Deathwhere secrets will be revealed, fates will be challenged, and every motive gets questioned; including their own...

Dex and Perry head off to Canada, to a small island off the coast that used to be home to a colony of lepers and is now a state park. Of course, there are rumors of ghosts...and it doesn't help that the island is hard to anchor at due to the winds and riptides. But naturally, that won't stop Dex and Perry.
I've decided that I'm going to break this review up into two parts: #1) the ghost story and #2) the relationship in order to do it justice. So let's start with the ghost story first.

Okey dokey then...I was already addicted to the series after book two. Honestly, books one and two got four stars from me, but I wanted to give them five just because I think my subconscious could feel the awesome-ness leaking from future books. Those two just built the tension, set the stage, and left me wanting more.

Dead Sky Morning is the third installment in Karina Halle's paranormal/horror series titled Experiment in Terror. To date, I have only read the first three books and this happens to be my least favorite; however, highly anticipated progress was made in the main characters' slow-going romantic tension so I had to bump it up another star just for that.

In all of our experiences together, there always was that moment that I could have turned back and I never ever did. Even if it scared me to the core, to the very soul and fiber of my being, I still went forward into the unknown. Some may call that brave. I don't think I'd call it that. Stubborn beyond repair seemed...more
This third installment takes place in Canada, on Darcy Island, also known as The Island of Death.
What used to be a colony for Chinese lepers, is now a slight seclude campers island, where only a few people dare to go, and that is believed to be haunted by all the lepers that died there.
Maybe they never left, not even after their deaths.
When Perry starts to see things that arent supposed to be there, she soon finds out the real story behind all the history lessons and the legends and that ...more

My favorite ghost hunters have return to make another installment for their Experiment in Terror video blog. They embark on a trip to a haunted old leper colony in British Columbia, Canada, where forty Chinese lepers were left to rot, die and bury each other.

This relationship between Perry and Dex is making my heart ache.. So frustrating.
This series just keeps getting better and better! I am HOOKED! I just love Karina Halle, and am thrilled to know she is from my old stomping grounds of Vancouver BC! What a delight it was to read about Dex and Perry being in Vancouver! This book will always be extra special to me because of that. I was able to recognize some of the places they were around; Stanly Park, good old Granville St.! It just adds some warmth in a story when the characters you love so much are actually written in to a

This was my favorite book thus far in the 'Experiment in Terror' series. The setting was awesome, the sexual tension and tent scene - out of control, and for the first time in the series I was seriously nervous for Perry and Dex...like heart racing, breathing heavy, couldn't read fast enough nervous. The conclusion to the book was so explosive that I had to read the first two chapters of 'Lying Season' (despite the fact that I was burning the midnight oil) just to make sure everything was going

5 Emotion Packed Stars!
Dead Sky Morning was by far the most emotional, scary, and gruesome of the Experiment in Terror books that I have read so far. I was put through the ringer on this one but it was totally worth it!
In this book, Perry and Dex explore Death Island, an island that used to be inhabited by a Chinese leper colony. Before I read this book, I knew a little about leprosy but let me tell you, the descriptions in this book had me cringing.

He looked terrified, to say the least, but he stood his ground. "No, we have to go back, Perry."
"We have to go back? What the f*ck, this isn't an episode of Lost, Dex!"
I'm thinking, inviting Dex and Perry to your dinner party would probably be both the best and worst idea you could ever come up with.

The perfect setting for a horror story? An isolated and empty island that is reputed to be haunted off the coast of Vancouver in the winter.

A haunted island? Why? How? Well the island is a former leper colony, one that received forcibly moved Chinese immigrants with ...more
