Summary:
Find a gateway to the underworld. Steal a soul out of hell. A simple plan, except people who make this particular journey rarely come back. But Galaxy "Alex" Stern is determined to break Darlington out of purgatory - even if it endangers her future at Lethe and at Yale.
Forbidden from attempting a rescue, Alex and Dawes can't call on the Ninth House for help, so they assemble a team of dubious allies to save the gentleman of Lethe. Together, they will have to navigate a maze of arcane texts and bizarre artifacts to uncover the societies' most closely guarded secrets, and break every rule doing it.
My Thoughts:
I flew through this book. After being told they were not allowed to rescue Darlington from hell, and Michelle not being willing to help either, Alex and Dawes throw themselves into researching a way to help him. After finding out how, they need to recruit two other people who have had blood on their hands - not an easy task. Turner and Tripp reluctantly agree to join them, and Mercy agrees to watch over their bodies during the attempt. But after being forced back before being able to reach Darlington, they find that demons escaped back with them. In order to send the demons back and successfully rescue their friend and mentor, the team needs to make sure their ritual isn't interrupted again.
I loved this. Maybe not as much as Ninth House, but I loved the character development and the look into the pasts of other characters that we didn't know much about in the first book. It was fast paced, entertaining, and very well written. I would definitely recommend giving this a read.
My Rating: 4 stars
