When you download an e-book to kindle fire by the nature of the size it can hugely increase the number of pages of a book. This one is 450ish pages but on my indle comes out at just over 10,000. That's 10000 swipes of a page. The last few I've read that long have been torturous to the point I've put off reading this book rather than face mind-numbing trek through a 'large' book.

That was a mistake as I loved this book and had the whole thing read in two days in and around putting in full days at work. We have a renegade FBI profiler, an archaeologist who specialises in ancient languages, a 70 year old blind serial killer, demon Gods from before civilisation began and a  possible apocalypse - it's just my kind of crazy. What's not to love about it???

It's a cracking pace, a mix of view points from all the key players and a plot that's just completely bonkers. It mixes murder mystery, police procedure and the esoteric so well with plenty of WTF moments. It's just so much fun to read and I haven't really felt that in a book for a long time. Absolutely loved it
