The Black Tattoo by Sam Enthoven
When his best friend, Charlie, is possessed by an ancient demon, fourteen-year-old Jack, accompanied by a girl with superhuman powers, battles all over London and into the underworld to save him.
I will admit that I did not like this book as much as I thought it would. I like the premise--three teens fight to save the universe. I like the concept of this particular hell, and the hierarchy of demons. I like Jagmat and the other gladiator demons (well, except for Shargle--he was just gross.) The author may have meant it differently but I thought the Chinj was darling. But I couldn't really get into the book, and I have to admit I skimmed through some sections.
What did you think of it? Is it the most awesome fantasy adventure ever and I just totally missed the point?
