When her own life is threatened by an indivudal searching for a key, Stephanie has no choice but to accept the help of Skulduggery Pleasant, who much to her surprise resembles his name in more ways than one. Stephanie is drawn in to investigate her uncle's murder and to find the hidden mystery of his findings. Filled with suspense and unthought of findings, this novel will have you biting your nails. At the end, Stephanie is left witht he option, should she allow herself to be fully submerged into this new world she has discovered or will she keep herself safe?
I must confess, I was not entirely sold on the idea of this novel but once I picked it up, I could not put it down. And yes, if you're wondering, my shopping list for myself to myself for Christmas has changed a bit of direction. I. Must. Read. More.
