Overall The Puzzle Master was a decent read. In the acknowledgements Danielle Trussoni thanks Dan Brown for “advice and inspiration” and you can really feel the Dan Brownyness of this book. 
the ending was kinda stupid. I think that there should have been some follow through based on the fact that the circle that the tech guy used to become immortal was the demon one but that wasn’t referenced. This ending brought it down at least half a star for me.


Edit: also the writing is not good. There is one section in particular where the author cannot figure out whether she is writing in the present or past tense and this almost made me DNF.
