jwells's review against another edition

dark emotional tense

I picked this up on the grounds that I enjoyed Wylding Hall. Maybe I'd like another creepy book about musicians and the supernatural. I was a bit worried this would be too scary... WH isn't really horror. This book definitely gets more intense with the violence and gore. It's also more intense with the love and passion for music, though which I appreciated.

 I'm not completely sure the ending works. I don't like ending a book not understanding exactly how the heroine's actions saved the day.

This was my least favorite of his books so far... I didn't think the writing was very strong and I think it relied too much on metal references.

5.0

It's got heavy metal. It's got horror. It's got gore, and it's got a whole lot of fun.
This book has the best 'soundtrack', the horror bits are tense, the characters compelling, the gore sickening, and it still manages to be funny. 
Also I will never trust UPS again.
