Between angst and mystery

Finaly, the sequel to ninth house is up, and it doesn't disappoint. This book is full of magic, but not the good kind. Underneath the elitist glory of magic is hidden corruption and gore. The author tacles the maddening effect of the powerful on the powerless, and the result is as brillant as it is ugly. Even with all the supernatural elements, this is the story of flawed people trying to move on despite being stuck in the past. The reluctant team is back with one clear goal: going to hell to bring their gentleman demon home. As usual, Alex, as a survivor, journeys between heroic bursts and cowardly choices. She's how so human, strong and weak, reckless as hell, and you'll love her for it. Thumbs up to the plot which is complex but always coherent.
