Another hit among my junior students, The Haunting of Alazaibel Cray is a bizzaro mash-up of fantasy, murder mystery, and Victorian literature.
This book takes place in a Jekyll-Hyde-ish Victorian London, except in this London, there are flying machines and monsters. Alazaibel is possessed as a part of a cult ritual that is meant to open up the floodgates for the demons.
The ending was an interesting concept, but this book never really hooked me. Loved the idea, not so crazy about the execution.
