Infinity Bell by Devon Monk
4.0
In this second installment of Devon Monk's House Immortal series, Matilda's reunited with her brother Quentin, who's spent the last three years working for various Houses in a quest to find the formula at the heart of the Wings of Mercury experiment. Now, after the disastrous ending to House Immortal, they're on the run along with Matilda's farm hand Neds and one of the galvanized, Abraham, who's incapacitated from injuries sustained while escaping a crazed megalomaniac's plans for world domination.
Oh, the drama! Oh, the tension! And that's all before we find out about the countdown clock...
Infinity Bell augments all that was great in House Immortal with a fast-paced plot, deeper backstory, and an ending that will leave you wishing you could travel through time (to get your hands on Crucible Zero sooner). Fans of urban fantasy will love this refreshing take on the genre - there are no vampires, weres, witches, fae, or zombies; instead we get immortals made by a break in time, stitched together à la Frankenstein. How cool is that?
Devon Monk's new series is impressive so far, and I'm excited to see where we go next! Is it September yet?
drey’s rating: Excellent!
