Review: Edgy, Gritty YA
Rating: 5 out of 5

Tail of the Devil is a fast, edgy and gritty read. Anti-hero Mathias has had it rough in his few short years and it shows. He's an interesting character: distrustful, resentful and prickly. But DeVor keeps him sympathetic on his journey through life, death and undeath.There's comic relief with the older vampires, who sometimes come across as overgrown kids, in spite of (or because of?) their advanced age. Their antics bring some lightness into Mathias's world. While this is YA, it is dark, has realistic language and violence.
