An apt conclusion to what I think is the Asmodeus storyline, I thought the book was the best one yet of the Felix Castor Exorcism. I love how it brought in all of Castor’s allies, rivals, and true enemies to get in on the action. And I thought the way they handled Asmodeus was pitch perfect—fraught with heavy action, heavy tenseness, and heavy losses. I wouldn’t want it any other way.

I can’t wait to move to the sixth book as it’s been out for a year and I’ve been saving it until I get through the re-read of the books I’ve already been through.
