Joe Ledger and the DMS are at it again. Saving the world against freaking monsters. Although, this wasn't my favorite book of the series, I still loved it. Biblical plagues and a Goddess using Twitter to spread the fear and the hate. Awesome plot.

But poor Joe. Always being thrust into situations that could get him killed. He's got so many cat lives, it's insane.

The King of Plagues brought one of my favorite bad guys back in this story (Toys), as well as introducing one of my favorite creepy characters in ANY novel: Nicodemus. I love that toady dude. So creepy. So excellent.

I also really enjoy how Jonathan Maberry allows the readers to see inside the bad guys' heads. It makes for a lot of yelling at the books, because I knew what was happening prior to Joe knowing. And, I just wanted to help him out.
