Review: Great suspense

"Rune (Endeavor #3)" by J.H. Glaze keeps the fast pace of the series and takes us on the road to Georgia. Glaze has cast a great bunch of odd characters for the journey: Pete, a demon trapped in a dog's body, Maire, the girlfriend of our hero Jake and then the demons who are after Jake.What strikes me most about this series is the continuous change of direction and the widely varied use of 'horror' tools, both old and new. The demons need to be inventive to adapt to a modern world of computers rather than scrolls, but they still have their crows as minions and other magic to command.The dialogue and story remain fresh and entertaining throughout and there is a lot of appropriate humour as well as dramatic suspense.With Glaze's continuous inventiveness the book and the series never get boring. It is of course a serialisation of one story and leaves things dramatically open for the next book to come.This is great fun to read, age appropriately only mildly scary for this reader but of huge entertainment value.
