What I really like about the sixth installment in the Demonata series is that it pulls characters we've met in the previous books and throws them together in a crucial life or death conflict. Grubbs Grady takes center stage again as he did in the first installment, Lord Loss. As fans of this series know, Shan's grotesque details and chilling storyline keep the reader scared and guessing throughout its entire development. Don't be surprised if you find yourself saying - Did that just really happen? - as you turn the pages. Good for teens and up.
