seak's review against another edition
5.0
This series just keeps getting better and better and more and more epic. I love it so much. I can't get enough. I first compared this to Harry Dresden meets the movie Constantine and I think that's still a very fitting definition.
God and the devil have called it quits and walked away. Angels and Demons are still around but don't really have any direction, leaving plenty of room for those who want power to go and take it. Thus enters our favorite nephew of Lucifer, Frank Trigg (don't call him Triggaltheron).
At the Gates is book three in the Demon Squad series so check out Armageddon Bound and Resurrection before you read any further. See also the short story lead in to this book, At the Gates, Betrayal.
At the Gates finds us right back where Resurrection left off. Scarlett's been beaten to within an inch of life and Heaven has been all but overrun by the angel Gabriel and his cronies. The final stand is in Eden, but the problem is getting back to Heaven.
The Nephilim (half angel, half human), vampires, lycanthropes, and shape-changers have all joined the fight to add to the fun.
Because of the turmoil in Heaven, the destruction is also leaking onto Earth through the Fall, which are deadly storms that let loose what look like ashes that destroy everything in their path.
What I love about this series is that Frank is completely awesome, but he'd be the last to say that. In fact, he fully believes the world is in a bad way if it needs to depend on him. But it usually does.
I also love that Tim takes things, like the Fall, that you've heard about (well, not necessarily) and makes them into a type of plot device. It's genius.
The Demon Squad series just keeps getting better and better. I can't wait for more, but I guess we have to wait till December, which, let's be honest, is pretty quick as much as I want my Trigg dose now.
4.5 out of 5 Stars
