Lorellie’s Reviews > Lord John and the Hand of Devils > Status Update

Hell was full of clocks, he was sure of it. There was no torment, after all, that could not be exacerbated by a contemplation of time passing. The large case clock at the end of the corridor had a particularly penetrating tick-tock, audiable above and through all the noises of the house. It seemed to Lord John Grey to echo his own heartbeats, each one a step on the road towards death.

Lord John and The Succubus felt more complete to me than The Hellfire Club. Whereas that one felt like just a taste of something really good, this didn’t leave me wanting at all. It was in turns funny and utterly painful. Plus, it kept me guessing the whole time.
