“A gripping debut.” – The Observer

"Reading [this book] is like riding a rollercoaster.” – Irish Independent

--This text refers to the Paperback edition.Product Description
Following the shocking revelations of DARK DAYS, get ready for the fifth instalment of the bestselling Skulduggery Pleasant series – guaranteed to contain at least 40% humour, 50% action, and 100% thrills…
"The blonde girl with the black lips turned to Valkyrie. 'We know,' she said. 'We've seen the future. We know you're going to kill the world…'"
Skulduggery Pleasant and Valkyrie Cain are back – just in time to see their whole world get turned upside down…
While they struggle to protect a known killer from an unstoppable assassin, Valkyrie is on a secret mission of her own. This quest, to prevent her dark and murderous destiny, threatens to take her to the brink of death and beyond. And then the body-snatching Remnants get loose, thousands of twisted souls who possess the living like puppets, and they begin their search for a being powerful enough to lead them. Facing such insurmountable odds, Skulduggery, Valkyrie, Ghastly and Tanith can trust no one. Not even each other…

I wouldn't usually be bothered to write a review but in this case I'll make an exception...
9 Sep 2010
Format:Hardcover
Read it 2 days.
It's so hard to say just how good these books are - you really have to read it for yourself.
I've been following these books pretty much since they came out & I turn 18 next month but that's no issue for me because they work for many audiences.
The characters are witty making for hilarious moments and conversations that made me laugh so much it hurt.
There are so many fights you lose count. There are also so many great moments that get you're heart beating at the tension that Landy manages to stretch out over pages and pages making your heart skip a beat. The cliffhangers at the end of each book really do effortlessly leave you craving for the next one.
Seriously, buy and reach and everyone of this truly impeccable and highly recommend series. You will not regret it.

I am 13 and I love this book. It is a great rollercoaster of a read.This book will grip you with its wonderfully written plots.It is funny but also dark.It is easily one of the best books I have ever read.
People who have read other books in the series will know to what to expect.But those who haven't heres some info on the characters. The main character is a detective; sounds normal yes? No he's a skelaton who has a tendency to outwit his enemies by taking the mick. His sidekick is Stephanie Edgly. She is a direct decendant to the ancients, which means she can be a powerful elemental-you'll know what this means if you are a fan.
I loved this book but I also liked Percy Jackson series,all the Harry Potters ,Furnace series and Holes.

One of the best books in the series. It it all begins when valkrie remembers her true name - which she stumbles upon when glimpsing into the book of names.
There is, as you would expect from Derek Landy, lots of humour and action. The story has lots of sub-plots all intertwining to make a great adventure.
Fans will be delighted that Billy Ray Sanguine is back and in the manner that he is. Book 5 has some really good twists and as for the ending... just to say book 6 can't come soon enough.
Other books worth a mention if you like fantasy -
Godstone: The Kairos Boxes
Power of the Sword
