It's been a long time since I read these books, but I have to admit that it didn't take me long to become re-emerged in the world, to remember the characters, and to recall why I loved this series so much! The story is very fast paced (almost nonstop action, a Gordon Smith signature), but I never felt like it was too much. Gordon Smith's action is always exciting, the demons unlike anything I've read before in fiction and the tension so quick I've bitten my nails down to the quick. Another thing Gordon Smith does well (and some would argue a little too well), is the gore factor. It's pretty prevalent in HELLFIGHTERS, especially during a scene at the end where I actually recoiled a little bit. It didn't take me out of the story, but suffice it to say I won't be forgetting it any time soon. The story was fantastic, filled with twists and turns until the very last page, which I definitely did not see coming, and the end will leave me pulling at my hair for months. The characters are great, with Marlow growing (still making some dumb mistakes but you can't help but love the guy), and my favourite, Pan, becoming even more intense and complex than I could have imagined. This is definitely a series to be read and enjoyed by horror fans who like their terror to be visceral, unique, and incredibly intense. Don't miss out!
