This is a story about monsters. Otherworldly beings and those who walk amongst us. The Klu Kluxes are pure hatred and evil personified as shape shifting monsters - and only a small band of female warriors can see them for what they really are.

This is a tale of vengeance and injustice, gore and terror and ultimately love and hope. I loved reading about Maryse and her band of strong women, and really enjoyed how African myth and history was incorporated into this story. It was a great adventure.

The only thing i didn't really enjoy was the Lovecraftian monsters in this book. But that is a case of 'it's not you it's me'. I am not drawn to monster books - I prefer my horror to be grounded in reality or hauntingly supernatural.

A fast-paced, highly entertaining read.
