Review
The last book in Smith’s “The Devil’s Engine” trilogy reads like an episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer written by Stephen King. The gates of hell are wide open and once again Marlow and Pan must make a final deal with the devil and fight their way out of hell to save the earth from the ancient evil of the devil’s engine. Descriptive images of demons and gore in this plot-driven, horror story will appeal to middle schoolers who want to read under the covers past their bedtime, too afraid to go to sleep. Readers of the series will find the ending of this trilogy very satisfying.
Overall Book Score: good
