This book sees us back in the company of Harry and John, who are wonderfully written characters with sparkling and captivating personalities.
The plots of the stories containing these two characters have, so far, been like a mixture of Sherlock Holmes and Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and this one falls neatly into that bracket too, especially with the opening chapter.
It's a lively fast-paced adventure filled with mystery, intrigue and humour, as well as being laced with creepy and scary aspects and more than a few thought-provoking moments that make this a highly engaging read that I, unfortunately, zipped through far too quickly.
It also further develops the relationship between Harry and John in a very natural and enjoyable manner that fits nicely into the overall story.
