This was the second book I've read by this author, and I've come to really enjoy his style of writing regardless of the fact that both books followed a fairly similar "young female badass singlehandedly takes out evil monster" formula. The basis in true events makes it entertaining in a whole new way, and while they're clearly not entirely in line with what actually happened, they're close enough that it's clear a fair amount of research went into the writing. I think for the most part I preferred The Perfect Place To Die over this one, but this is another solid effort from this author and I look forward to more books from him in the future.
