Necropolis by Anthony Horowitz

"The door opened and Audrey Cheng came in. She was wearing a tight jersey that showed off the shape of her body - round and lumpy."
That ending! Wow.
This book started off quite slowly I think. With most sequels, there's usually a casual introduction of about 50 pages or so which just refreshes where the story is at between the two installments. In this novel, I feel like that 'introduction stage' lasted almost 200 pages. Despite how that sounds, by no means did I think it was a boring first half of the book, it made sense to the story to have a longer introduction period as we're introduced to a new protagonist in this book.
There were a few new characters that I really enjoyed reading about in this one. Father Gregory for one definitely made my skin crawl which was the idea it seems. Also I really loved Lohan, he definitely reminded me of Fin (Finn?) from 'Nightrise'.
The climax in this was my favourite so far.
Can't wait to see how this series wraps up in the final instalment 'Oblivion', which has almost 700 pages! I've read a lot of Anthony Horowitz's books and all of them have been less than 450 pages long so this is exciting. So much content.
