(2) YA In the first half of a book echoing Dante's allegorical journey to hell, a magical-realism-threaded narrative alternates between Donovan trying to stay alive and Bee's later attempts to unravel what happened to Donovan, now unconscious and a suspect in his father's murder. The second half shifts--in tone and seemingly in genre--to a thriller. Readers will be engrossed in unraveling the mystery and piecing together events.
