Skulduggery Pleasant - Death Bringer (Skulduggery Pleasant, Book 6)

By Derek Landy

Meet Skulduggery Pleasant: detective, sorcerer, warrior.

Oh yes. And dead.

The Necromancers no longer need Valkyrie to be their Death Bringer, and that’s a Good Thing.

And that’s a very, very Bad Thing…

”'A high-intensity tale….Readers, particularly Artemis Fowl fans, will be skipping meals and sleep to get to the end.'    ” -  Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

”'Utterly charming…perfect for the Potter crowd.'   ” -  Publishers Weekly (starred review)

”'Rich fantasy that is as engaging in its creative protagonists and villains as it is in the lightning-paced plot and sharp humor.'   ” -  BCCB

”'Landy keeps the action brisk, his characters slightly macabre, and uses humor to take the edge off.'    ” -  ALA Booklist

”'Skulduggery Pleasant serves up a thoroughly satisfying blend of humor, magic and adventure. Once you’ve met Stephanie and Skulduggery, you’ll be clamoring for a sequel.'   ” -  Rick Riordan, author of the Percy Jackson series
