From the first chapter, seriously, I was hooked. This is a crime-mystery with a supernatural twist. A veteran cop and a rookie have serious trouble in unexpected ways with pure evil. The book starts out with a little horror aspect, but then the cops try and figure it out. This was an excellent book. A mask people put on thinking it will give them power, makes the person who wears it do some very bad things.

I don't think it's really scary. Some demon (unseen) sends this mask to people who request it (kind of devil groupies). They put it on thinking great things will happen, but they pursue dark desires that always ends badly. There are a few gruesome murder scenes, but I don't think it's too bad. Kind of a shorter novel, but long enough.
