4.0

The summer has past since Ninth House left off and Alex and Dawes are still looking for a way to get Darlington out of Hell. With the same mix of present and flashback chapters, this time told in primarily Alex’s POV, Hell Bent does a good job of revealing more of the past story and weaving in reoccurring characters. Another murder mystery subplot is intriguing but not as spectacularly satisfyingly revealed as in book 1; which pretty much sums up the whole novel. Enjoyable, mysterious and a bit repetitive but not quite as enjoyable or mysterious as the first go around. Definitely worth a read though.
