Genre
The Demi-Monde was intended to train today’s soldiers to fight tomorrow’s wars – but its creator had its own secret agenda, and now no one can be allowed to stand in its way . . .
Eight-thousand years ago the Deluge destroyed the empire of the Lilithi, setting the race of super-warriors known as the Grigori loose in the outside world. They have lain hidden until now when – thanks to the creation of the dystopian virtual reality that is the Demi-Monde – they at last stand ready to achieve mastery of the Real World – and to cull HumanKind in the Final Solution.
Three girls stand between them and victory: Norma Williams, trapped in the nightmare that is the Coven, the viciously misandric Sector of the Demi-Monde; Ella Thomas, enslaved by the spirit of Lilith-come-again; and Trixie Dashwood, consumed by her hatred for Heydrich and his evil ForthRight.

State of the art . . . Discworld's savage noir cousin
Delectably dark
Part Matrix, part Escape from New York, with a dash of Film Noir and a whole host of imagination. Beautifully written
An amazingly quick and enjoyable read
