Just finished the book City Infernal by Edward Lee. This was sent to me and I had didn't have any expectations from it.
City Infernal is about a girl named Cassie who was a goth girl in the D.C social scene until her twin sister Lissa commits suicide. Now a few months later after a few bad suicide attempts, hospital admittances, psychiatrists, and drugs her loaded Lawyer father Bill quits his job at the firm after a heart attack or two moves them to the boonies of Virginia to creepy house that's a mixture between the Munsters and the Adams family.
after being there a few weeks she meets another goth girl named Via and her friends who are also living in her house...come to find out they're dead and her house is a deadpass.
They then take her to the city of Mephistopolis, I know it's hard to pronounce at fist but this city is like New York but a little more twisted and everyone is deformed...like if everyone were allowed to be effected by Chernobyl and we got to see the effects of Nagasaki and Hiroshima only worse.
The story it's self was well written we get to meet the Azreal...sorry Ezoriel, Lillith, and a lot is mentioned about Lucifer who lives up in the Mephisto Tower on floor 666.
Parts of the story are not exactly original but nonetheless it's a good story, parts can be easily predicted but what story nowadays isn't.
But I would recommend it to any goth kid or just anyone into the supernatural looking for a good hellish ride with even better descriptions.
