"Between Two Fires" turned my stomach more than once. A masterpiece of horror, Buehlman has managed to wrote some of the best descriptions of Hell I've ever had the pleasurable displeasure of reading. 

The characters were so lovable, and when anything bad threatened to happen to them, I felt a visceral anxiety. The relationship between Thomas and Delphine reminded me of Geralt and Ciri from the Witcher series, but somehow placed in a more terrifying setting. 

Definitely worth a read for anyone who loves descriptive horror & medieval settings. Buehlman knocks it out of the park.
