This was a solid end to the trilogy, and I really liked how things wrapped up. Once again, it was chock-full of horror references that went right over my head, but I still enjoyed finding out what happened to Jade and her friends and how Proofrock finally recovered (?). Jones has a gift for creating narratives that move quickly and and catch you off guard, and this book was a great example of this. My only real critique is that so much happened in the previous books that it was sometimes hard to remember events or who was who when they came up in this book. More than anything though, that makes me want to re-read the series from the beginning and read all three books back to back.
Graphic: Death, Gore, Violence, and Murder
