What could possibly go wrong?Unaware that G is already dead, Matt Drake and his team are lured into a savage trap set by their terrible nemesis—the Devil. When the skyscraper becomes a powerful inferno, they are forced to save trapped civilians and lead them down through twenty-one floors of raging mayhem. With destruction and danger at every turn they battle to descend the flaming tower only to find that the Devil has another surprise waiting for them.Seven of the worst killers on the planet, assembled for the purpose of killing Drake and his team, are making their way up the building.But the carnage doesn’t end there. For the survivors of the inferno, the greatest showdown in history awaits: The Devil, the Blood King and Team SPEAR.

Great opening BUT…….
This was a novel of failed promises. The opening was a bit slow, and there were some major consistency problems that keep coming back the entire novel.
We open with incredible action and adventure that is incredible and totally unique. I couldn’t put it down. It was a wicked ride and they took us along for the ride. But then! That’s when the trouble starts
SPOILERS
Once AGAIN the team has been left out in the cold and they are all upset and have no plans. For God’s sake, as often as they get disowned, they should be used to it and have contingencies for it. Instead they act like it’s their first time.
The action portion of the end was wonderful and well done, I had a different ending in mind but this worked well. But please stop this owned - disowned - owned cycle, sick of it!

Happy Ending VS Sad Ending
OMG, what to say about this extraordinary story. I’m sure my finger nails will all grow back eventually. Devil’s Junction (Matt Drake Book 25) by David Leadbeater could not have been more exciting and terrifying! Thank goodness for the author’s note at the end.

This is a great series
I have just read all 25 ( so far) in this series and it’s the best series I have ever read. Most get kinda bogged down with the same stuff, but not this one. I’m actually very worried about the crew and hope it works out for them. Thank you Mr Leadbeater for a grand month of reading and ignoring my housework!

This was exactly what Frames team needed. Not only getting out of the Devils trap but getting the revenge on the Blood King and the Devil. They both went down and with that also the regrouping of the team. A little separation would be a good thing till the dust settles !!!! Can't for the next chapter!!!! 10 stars plus!!! Thanks Carl Clause

Did not disappoint
Was not too sure when I read the blurb for this and thought it might to a bit too much Die Hard -but I was wrong you are immediately drawn into the plot and the individual perils each character faces. The next book cannot come quick enough

Wow!
The Devil’s Junction ending eclipsed everything in all of the previous Matt Drake novels for satisfaction and pizzazz. It was spectacular.
I am very much looking forward to starting Matt Drake book 26.
