Another triumphant return of John Cleaver...at least for me. John the demon slayer sets up a trap for a demon he called inviting to a death match basically. The killer that dwells deeps inside of him can find it's release fighting against those that are evil, does it make him equally as evil is a question he faces. In this latest book I actually got to see John love sincerely, experience lost in a tremendous way and realize that he is more than just a sociopath. He is a boy with feelings and a heart. I can openly admit to crying in the ending, it was for me touching but also I could feel what John felt. Even for a young adult novel it reaches where adult novels should be. It has been interesting to see how Dan Wells develops the character of John and also how he is turning one book into a brilliant series.
