I'm not a fan of scary, horror-filled books, but this one, filled with humor and wit and action, may make me change my mind.  It certainly made me a fan of the author (I just bought his other book).One thing I admire most of all:  this story was clearly a novella-sized idea, and the author did not try to pad it out into a 300-page novel, as so many authors do, thereby producing a bloated whale.  He let it run the length it should be, and the result is a very nice, tight, ingenious story.None of the characters is a stereotype; not one scene is over-the-top hystrionics.  Good solid, vivid writing.  I loved it.P.S.  I found three errors.  "Reigns" for "reins"; "Jefrey and I" when it should have been "Jefrey and me" (location 825): and it's spelled "lightning", not "lightening".  Dear author:  please fix.
