The Ghost in Bone

I love Carey's books ever since I picked up The Girl With All the Gifts a few years back. He tells a great story that pulls you along with it. This was my first time reading one of the books in this series, but now I want to go back and read the series from the beginning.

This book follows exorcist Felix Castor, who, along with a number of other exorcists, responds to an intriguing newspaper ad. He's selected to determine what happened to Gavril Ustinov by Ustinov's daughter Ksenia. He also wants to explore the matins that haunt Brierley House, where Ksenia lives. Castor's friends, including a zombie and a demon, help him along the way.

This novella features plenty of twists and turns and a clever mystery. Of course, it's the story behind the matins that leaves me wanting to read more. This is a fascinating world, and I want more of it.
