Sixteen-year-old Tomas and his Roma family left Slovakia because of mysterious attacks on his life when he was a child, but when they return, the same creatures of folklore begin to strike again and Tomas, aided by his cousin, will have to bargain with Death herself to set things right.

I really liked this book. It's an urban fantasy set in Slovakia, using folklore from the area. The city and locations are real, and make me wish I could visit myself (especially the castle). I also thought the depiction of Roma discrimination was well done. The ending is set up for an eventual sequel, which I am anxiously looking forward to.
