Book Rating: 4 Stars

Odd has finally come back home to Pico Mundo, but with the knowledge that his home and the people who live there are threatened by the satanic cultist dark forces that he’s come up against before. An entertaining final adventure of Odd, with glimpses of many of his friends from previous books. A nice ending to the series. I especially liked the hopeful collective sentiment expressed at the end.

Content Note: Includes Swearing and Violence

Eddie is contacted by a rich man to find his missing daughter, and though the case doesn’t exactly jive with Eddie’s area of expertise, he decides to take it because the father tells him he thinks his missing daughter was possessed  . . . and Eddie needs the money. This story really takes things up a notch even from the one that preceded it, and though the action was exciting and riveting, I kind of missed the more low-key investigations that Eddie had done in the first two books. This involved a lot of people with different motivations and you are in the dark for a long while about who is siding with who and who Eddie can really trust. Eddie struggles a lot in this story with things he was forced to do in self-defense. As a character, he just keeps getting more and more interesting and complex, and I can’t wait to see where his next adventure will take him!
