An okay urban fantasy about how an accountant and a software programmer from Arizona team up to battle the ancient demons of Budapest. Not hugely entertaining but somewhat interesting. Particularly the speculatation about how demons could contribute to the atrocities of war. And there's a nice touch of realism in showing how a daughter (or in this case a grandaughter) might need to deal with an Alzheimers patient who hallucinates - but really does have demons chasing him. I guess you have to give the author credit for coming up with an original and slightly ambitious storyline but it just didn't work that well. I enjoyed Leah Cutter's Paper Mage series a whole lot more than this.
