Download As PDF : Hell Horizon The City Trilogy Book 2 eBook Darren Shan 
The second volume in a noirish, gritty urban fantasy for adults from the bestselling author otherwise known as Darren Shan. The Cardinal is the City and the City is The Cardinal. They are joined at the soul. When Al Jeery is seconded by The Cardinal from guard duties at Party Central to investigate the murder of a woman at a hotel he little suspects that the dead woman will turn out to be his girlfriend. Soon he is involved in a terrifying mystery that draws in the dead, the city's Incan forefathers, the imposing figure of The Cardinal himself, and the near-mythical assassin, Paucar Wami. Wami is a law unto himself, a shadowy, mysterious figure who can apparently kill anyone he chooses without fear of punishment or retribution. And Al is about to find out that he has a lot more in common with Wami than he could ever have imagined...
Hell Horizon The City Trilogy Book 2 eBook Darren Shan
If you're a Darren Shan fan, you won't be disappointed. Just be forewarned that this is an adult series, not like his other YA series (plural).This book caught me off guard. Usually when some time has passed between my reading book n in a series and then n+1, I go back and flip through the previous one as a refresher. But I started this one on a trip and didn't have a chance to look at the previous one. The events in this book confused me at first. I finally just gave up trying to connect the events in book 1 to the events in this second book.
SHAN PULLS A FAST ONE
It takes a long time, but the reader finally learns that this book is not a sequel to the previous book. This second book actually takes place at the same time as the first story. It wouldn't quite work to read these books out of sequence, because the first book sets up the scene so well. So book one and book two take place in parallel timelines until they finally tie at the end of book two, setting the stage for the third and final book in the series.
So what happens in this book?
I'm not telling. That's the real fun of these books.
The scenario is the same mobbed up underworld as Procession of the Dead: 1 (The City). The characters are similar, but different. But Shan's world tip-toes on the line between realism and fantasy.
If you read book one (The City) and didn't like it, then please don't bother with this one, because it's more of the same. But if you liked Procession of the Dead, then you won't be disappointed--maybe confused like me, but not disappointed. One good indicator is the fact that the reviews were so mixed (or actually pretty critical) for Procession of the Dead, but they're generally positive for this second book. So use your opinion of book one to indicate whether you'll like the second & third books in the series.

Hell Horizon The City Trilogy Book 2 eBook Darren Shan Reviews
SShipping was super fast I went the cheap route and still received it 4 days later. This trilogy of books were a fantastic read. I enjoyed Darren Shan's tale of the city a lot.
Well, after reading the first book I was really hooked. Out of the three book this one was my least favorite. But It still kept me going!
Excellent! If you have read young adult fiction from Darren Shan before, you will think it is another author writing. He uses a completely different language. Is a different story taking place in the same place as of book 1 Procession of the Dead. Higly recommended.
Wonderful author.
I liked it ,a story with a lot of killings and a surprising ending that sends you straight to the 3d book!!
I'm not quite s
ure if I really like this series. I read the first book just to read it and I did the Same with the second, l'm sure I'll also do the same to the third. It keeps me interested enough and wants me to know why happens next!
