review 1: What happens when Martha Drood, The Matriarch of the Drood family is found murdered? Everyone suspects either Eddie Drood or his girlfriend Molly Metcalf of being responsible. The truth leads to the unthinkable. Drood Hall has been infiltrated by a new enemy. Known only as the Immortals, this new enemy has replaced members of the Drood family and has been spying on Drood Hall for years. After a vicious assault on Drood Hall, Eddie Drood must leap into action once more to stop the Immortals master plan. The Immortals, together with a rogue Drood known as Tiger Tim and the evil Doctor Delirium plan to use the Apocolypse Door to unleash the forces of Hell on the Earth. What follows is a non-stop supernatural adventure filled with thrills and intrigue as Eddie tries to stop th... moreis evil plan while trying to find spies and traitors within his own family.I enjoyed this book because of all the twists and turns and surprise betrayals. Never trust a pretty face and never turn your back. The only thing I guessed corectly was the identity of the Matriarch's murderer.
review 2: The Drood family had been working in the shadows for centuries to keep humanity safe and yet they’re still hated by so many (but it would be almost everyone if they knew everything the Droods have done over the years). Eddie Drood starts out in LA meeting up with a cousin to stop Doctor Delirium from getting the Apocalypse Door. Doctor Delirium had just been a two-bit villain who couldn’t evil his way out of a paper bag (reminding me of Dr. Doofenshmirtz), but he’s now teamed up with some pretty serious characters. Everything seems to hit the fan at once at Drood Hall – the Matriarch murdered, the family whipped up into a frenzy, and traitors on the inside. Seems like a typical day in Eddie Drood’s life.I absolutely love the over the top characters and situations that Eddie finds himself dealing with. This is a great book to sit back, grab some popcorn, and dig into. There’s always a bunch of twists and turns – every one of them bigger and twistier than the next. All the characters are larger than life and none as much so as Eddie. I find his adventures to be entertaining and I love the one-liners! I love this series and, of course, the shticky takes on the James Bond film titles as book titles.Secret Histories Series: The Man with the Golden Torc (1), Daemons are Forever (2), The Spy Who Haunted Me (3), From Hell with Love (4), For Heaven's Eyes Only (5), Live and Let Drood (6) less

Took on a trip and it was an easy read. Harry Potter-ish.
