Synopsis

Built on top of the gates of Hell, Grimm City is the Devil's capital on earth. A place where every coffee shop, nightclub and shopping mall is the potential hunting ground for any of the supernatural entities that inhabit the Grimm City world. Death's seventeen-year-old apprentice, Nathaniel, comes into his own as he leads an uprising against the Devil with the help of a half-dead wraith and a giant hit-man. What results is a bloody, brutal revolt that calls upon the loyalties of both the living and the dead. Based not only upon the Brothers Grimm's well-known fairy tales, but also upon their "unknown" sagas and essays, Death's Apprentice is the first novel to be based upon the entire Grimm canon.

BookLender review by Manda on 2013-09-20 15:33:07

I liked the concept of death and his apprentice. There was a great plot concept, a struggle between the devil and people out for revenge. Unfortunately, I got very bored with the extensive focus on long descriptive battle and fight scenes. It really lost the flow of the plot that way.So, if you like battle books, this is for you. If not, move on.
