| Skulduggery Pleasant - Mortal Coril - Book 5
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!
Skulduggery Pleasant is back, and reunited with his original head.
But all is not well in the magical world - for one thing, foreign powers are conspiring to take over the Irish Sanctuary, and for another thing, Valkyrie has discovered she might be the sorceress set to destroy the world.
The problem is, she doesn't feel she can tell Skulduggery what she's learned! and that's how all the trouble starts.
With Valkyrie on a quest of her own, to seal her name and prevent her evil destiny from coming to pass, Skulduggery and the gang are even more vulnerable.
Which is a shame, because remember those thousands of remnants, imprisoned in the Midnight Hotel?
Well, now they're out. Not only that but they believe Valkyrie is their messiah. And that means thousands of wicked souls, desperate to get to Valkyrie, willing to kill anyone in their way!
Oh, and because they can possess any body, they could be ANYONE. Now Skulduggery, Valkyrie, Ghastly and Tanith can trust no one. Not even each other!

| Skulduggery Pleasant - Book 1
Skulduggery Pleasant; wise cracking detective, powerful magician, master of dirty tricks and burglary (in the name of the greater good, of course), oh yeah, and dead!
If you can't wait to find out what happens next, here's a brief synopsis and a sample chapter...
Buffy meets Dr Who meets Ghostbusters in this thrilling new book you won't want to put down!
Stephanie's uncle Gordon is a writer of horror fiction. But when he dies and leaves her his estate, Stephanie learns that while he may have written horror, it certainly wasn't fiction.
Pursued by evil forces intent on recovering a mysterious key, Stephanie finds help from an unusual source - the wisecracking skeleton of a dead wizard.
When all hell breaks loose, it's lucky for Skulduggery that he's already dead. Though he's about to discover that being a skeleton doesn't stop you from being tortured, if the torturer is determined enough. And if there's anything Skulduggery hates, it's torture...
Will evil win the day? Will Stephanie and Skulduggery stop bickering long enough to stop it? One thing's for sure: evil won't know what's hit it.

| Skulduggery Pleasant - Playing With Fire - Book 2
Just when you think you've saved the world...
With Serpine dead, the world is safe once more.
At least, that's what Valkyrie and Skulduggery think, until the notorious Baron Vengeous makes a bloody escape from prison, and dead bodies and vampires start showing up all over Ireland.
With Baron Vengeous after the deadly armour of Lord Vile, and pretty much everyone out to kill Valkyrie, the daring detective duo face their biggest challenge yet.
But what if the greatest threat to Valkyrie is just a little closer to home...?
'Hugely enjoyable - a thrill-a-minute adventure.' Jonathan Stroud

Skulduggery Pleasant - The Faceless Ones - Book 3
The third bone-breaking, belly-busting adventure in the series that puts the "funny" back in, um, funny series.
That didn't really work, did it?
If you've read the previous Skulduggery books then you know what the Faceless Ones are, and if you know what the Faceless Ones are, then you can probably take a wild guess that things in this book are going to get AWFULLY sticky for our skeletal hero and his young sidekick.
If you haven't read the previous Skulduggery books then what are you doing reading this?
Go and read them right now, so that you know what all that stuff in the previous paragraph was about. Done? Good.
So now you're on tenterhooks too, desperately awaiting the answers to all your questions, and instead you're going to have to wait to read the book. Sorry about that.

| Skulduggery Pleasant - Dark Days - Book 4
It's the fourth Skulduggery Pleasant adventure - only Skulduggery Pleasant himself is lost on the other side of a portal, with only some evil gods for company.
Can he possible survive? (Yes, all right, he's already dead. But still.)
What can we say, without giving too much away?
Not much, is the answer. But what we CAN say is that this book is hilarious, it's tense, and it's packed with all the eye-popping action, crackling one liners and imaginative set pieces you've come to expect.
There's a new threat to our plucky heroine, of course. But that's not all. There's also the little fact of the Big Bad, the uber-baddy who's going to come along and really, really destroy the world. (Really.)
And what we learn about that villain in this book will literally make your jaw fall off and your hair go white with shock. (Not really.) Will Skulduggery make it out of the Faceless Ones' dimension? Who knows.
The problem is, he may not have much to come back to!
