Wow!  Just wow. So much action.  Warning, there are lots of kids with guns, and using them in this book.  It is not all monster gore and blood.  Now on to the story.  This is the penultimate book.  It is time to start wrapping things up.  In the last book all the hierarchy was dead.  The queen, dead.  The royal houses, dead, many of the monsters dead.  But turns out someone we thought dead over 7 books ago, not so dead.  And they become the voice of the monsters, creating a new power kingdom that will do wonderful things for the world.  But the Kids are still in danger.  One more book to wrap up and I can not wait.  This book was full action from page one, and it flew by.
