Infinity Bell A House Immortal Novel Devon Monk 9780451467379 Books

Devon Monk's House Immortal series continues to delight me. I absolutely love the idea of her world and characters - her galvanized, scientist-created beings that give subtle nods to the classic Frankenstein tale, bringing a very new, very unique story to the Urban Fantasy genre.

After the events of the previous book in the series, House Immortal, Matilda Case's newly discovered world off the farm is left in a state of upheaval with the galvanized being thought of as the new enemy. On the run with Neds Harris, Abraham Seventh, Quentin, and a new surprising ally, they've encountered an even bigger problem. The experiment that not only gave the galvanized life, but also brought about a rip in time, is coming to a head. The Wings of Mercury Experiment wants to mend the break in time, but not without drastic consequences. With the time healed, the galvanized would cease to exist and thousands of humans would die. If Quentin manages to find a way to travel back in time to Alvere Case and alter the formula's calculations, he has a chance to save the future-galvanized -- but not without risks. Best case scenario: go back in time, save the galvanized, including Tilly, and people die. Worst case scenario: leave time alone, galvanized die, and humans die. There are dire consequences either way, but one thing is for sure - altering time also alters history, something that Matilda and her crew aren't really prepared for. With the pending apocalypse and a price on all their heads thanks to all the Houses and Slater Orange, the situation(s) at hand seem to be a shade below impossible.

While I thought the first book in the series was fantastic, Infinity Bell completely blew that one out of the water. Surprising thing is, the pacing of book two was quite slow when compared to it's predecessor, but the storyline was so much better. Fraught with heavy choices, heavier consequences, decisions that all have fairly unpredictable and bleak outcomes, I had no clue how Monk was going to save her fictional, futuristic world. And the ending! oh, the ending! Monk has taken what we've grown to love, what fans of this new series have come to expect and utterly shattered it. It's back to square one and this has left me feeling completely uneasy for these characters that I've grown to adore.

I so loved the time-travel aspect that was incorporated into this storyline. Anyone familiar with all of the ideas and concepts and theories of time-travel knows that if time is altered, along with history, the world as we've known it is slowly rocked off its axis with every change, even the slightest. That particular concept came in play in Infinity Bell and I must say, that gave me quite a feeling of dread throughout the bulk of the story. Being a huge fan of Monk's Allie Beckstrom series, I am quite familiar with her style -- she doesn't do rainbows and sunshine. She does dark, depressing, grey, and she does it quite well. She also manages to import bits of humor and fills the darkness with such lovely, wonderful, loveable characters, and this new series is no exception. Having those bits of lightness, the characters and humor, woven into the story takes away some of the darkness, but not much, and that's what I love. Monk makes me feel and that to me is a hallmark of a good storyteller.

Bottom line -- I absolutely recommend this second installment of Monk's House Immortal series. While there is a tiny bit of familiarity taken from the classic Frankenstein story, this series is NOT a retelling. Instead, Devon Monk makes this completely her own, borrowing very slightly from the original concept, while peppering the story with nods to the original tale (Shelley dust, anyone?). The House Immortal series is a highly original, very fresh entry into the Urban Fantasy genre, and it's a series that has quickly grown to be one of my favorites.

Infinity Bell A House Immortal Novel Devon Monk 9780451467379 Books Reviews

I've read some of Devon Monk's urban fiction titles, and loved those. I've read bits of this, and love it already. Devon Monks style and characterization are top notch. Compelling characters, strong story, and a sense of realism is present in every work I've read by Mrs. Monk. Again, I think she's an excellent storyteller.
I'm one of those people who reads a book or two a day (retired, disabled, so I have the time), and this is easily one of the best trilogies I have read in the past year. I have enjoyed other of Ms. Monk's books, but this series is her best to date-- Heck, I'd pay the price of the books for Grandma's 'time sheep' by themselves, and they have a minimal part in the first two books (pocket-sized, I might say).

Recommended.
Wow, just Wow. This series is the coolest concept in fantasy/dystopian fiction ever. You will be panting by the end of the book as the action is so frantic.

Devon Monk you have outdone yourself with this book. I loved it. Can't wait for the next one in this exciting series.

The characters continue to develop and the plot has more twists and turns than a game of snakes and ladders. By the time you get to the end of the book you will be ready to start over, but wait Devon understood that an that's what the next book will do.

Highly recommended reading for anyone who likes action adventure and twisted tails and characters. Go buy it now.
I loved the first book and loved this one too. You seriously need to read House Immortal before this one, it will make so much more sense that way. Firefly-esque misfits and outcasts of House Brown struggle against better resourced opponents while trying to fix an error in Time. My only problem now is waiting six months for the third book in the series to come out. And spoilers spoilers spoilers.

spoilers spoilers look away

I love time travel and alternate worlds. There isn't a lot of that in this book, but it's there. Wonderful. And I believe the next book will be even better. I love it when an author is willing to completely shake up the world she has built.
This book starts right as book one ends. Tilly and gang are running for their lives. Abraham is dying and traitors and assassins abound. This book is more action packed than the first one and the Wings of Mercury experiment is about to come crashing down around the world's head. But when it comes to time, I was ready for the paradox and one does happen, which I saw coming. Nothing is smooth sailing in this book, but it is filled not only with danger but with romance too!

SEXUAL CONTENT Except for kissing all sexual content happens off page.

I both read and listened to this book. Audio version had some minor glitches. The written text had a few minor continuity error as to Ned and Grandma Case.
Wow, what a fantastic story. I don't even know where to begin with how much I loved this book. Infinity Bell starts out right where House Immortal left off, with Matilda, her brother Quinten, Neds and Abraham on the run from the Houses and their power grabbing maneuverings. Quinten has been trying to find their grandmother’s journal, which he believes hold critical information on a way to correct a time experiment that killed a lot of people and created the galvanized, which includes Matilda and Abraham. He has determined that unless he finds a way to fix their ancestor’s mistake, many people will die, including the galvanized. With the deadline rapidly approaching, they are in a race to get where they need to be, as well as find the information they need, all while avoiding the traps set by the Houses that are sure to be waiting for them. With lots of action, help from unexpected allies, and sheer determination, this story races to the finish, and a surprising conclusion that takes the series in an interesting new direction. I can’t wait to see what happens to our intrepid Matilda next.
