Review of 'Hollywood dead' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

Roaring back to a 4.5 (see my review of The Kill Society). My suspicion that Kadrey is stronger when he uses LA as his setting for this series is proven by this stonking read.

Very entertaining, I clearly was in the mood to blow through it, and definitely recommended.
