Don't ask me why it took me two years to finish this book. Right now I'm more concerned with not having the sequel in my hands at this very moment.

This is re-read for me. Actually a re-listen. I loved this book when I read it - but it truly came to life when I listened to it. (Yes, I know, Skulduggery is a skeleton - and technically not alive) Rupert Degas did an amazing job on this audiobook. You have to give it a listen!

I'm not sure what I expected from a book about a crime fighting skeleton, but I was pleasantly surprised by this book. It's hilarious and terrifying (in a good way) and hard to put down. Skulduggery is by far the most personable dead man you'll ever meet - lots of action in this one too, and more violent than I expected. But the characters are phenomenal, and I can't wait for the next one.
