  “"When Venetia Barlow begins work at St. John's Prior House, she expects a quiet summer of drudgery and boredom. But soon she's haunted by lurid desires and visions of a city full of monsters...and the monsters know her name. Is the house really a place of meditation and worship, or is it a temple of abomination and the most evil secrets? Venetia will only find out, when the voice of a long-dead priest comes into her head and gives her a an unspeakable message from the howling, blood-drenched streets of Hell... "
  
  City Infernal was the first book I ever read by Edward Lee and I was instantly taken by his vivid descriptions of the city that is Hell. The story was also very good. The second installment Infenal Angel wasn't as great, but still decent. I found this last installment fairly boring. I didnt like any of the characters and since they help drive the plot, it didnt bode well for the other elements of the book. There was far too much non-Hell stuff and even Hell seemed to lose some of its abyssmal charm that it had in the previous two.
  
  I still enjoy Edward Lee a great deal and will continue to read his books, but this outing just didnt do it for me. ”
