The Devil's Engine: Hellfighters

(4) YA Fifteen-year-old Marlow and the other Hellraisers find themselves on the run from an enemy with horrific powers and limitless resources. Failure doesn't just mean a fate worse than death for Marlow--it means total annihilation of the world. This dark fantasy suffers from slim characterization and an overabundance of detail that slows the pacing of what would otherwise be an action-packed chiller.
