Power comes at a price. For Frank “Triggaltheron” Trigg, that price is everything.
Lost and alone, Hell closes in until Frank can't take it any longer. He ascends to Old Town to find a new overlord has staked his claim, but Frank is having none of it. He goes to war against the usurper. Collateral damage mounts, friends turn their backs and foes unite, but it is the ones he least suspects who make the best of enemies.

Title: Great Series
Review: Another great book! Author Tim Marquitz has a fantastic twist on the anti-hero. This entire series is original in its ideas and great on its execution. I thoroughly enjoyed this and the rest of the books in the series. The world Tim Marquits builds is all encompasing but he is still able to narrow his focus back on the characters when needed. The honesty of emotions in the series is refreshing. This is a great read and I recommend it to anyone who is looking for something just a little different.

Title: Build-up for the next book
Review: Mild spoilersThis book was good, but not as good as the previous entries in the series. it ends with a large cliffhanger and the book was ultimately buildup for the next novel. Still, it's an enjoyable read. I recommend this to anyone who enjoys urban fantasy and who was/is a fan of the series.

Title: Fun, but a little Disappointing
Review: I enjoyed the book (and the series) but found the whole Azrael plotline a little predictable and a standard cliché means to weaken a protagonist that you have slowly built up to be as powerful as a lot of the other charatcers around him..

Title: Love this series
Review: I love snark and this series has the right amount which, for me, is a lot. Granted this book leaves you hanging waiting for the next and I'd rather it ended more completely (so I'm not hanging on for the next book) Only problem is I can't seem to put these things down once I start and that means I get through the book too damn fast. Well worth the money!

Title: I enjoyed the Demon Squad series and purchased all 9 current ...
Review: I enjoyed the Demon Squad series and purchased all 9 current full books in the series. They all keep you engrossed and there were times I laughed out loud. However, this series is not for everyone especially if your looking for a PC read. A good escapism series where the main character is definitely gray.

Title: Get ready for a dark, comical thrill ride, courtesy of Frank Trigg!
Review: ANALYSIS: What a long journey it has been for Frank Trigg, when we were first introduced to him and his world. He was a lowly denizen of hell that had refused his uncle Luciferâs offer to ascend to the mantle of the Anti-Christ and then had taken an ignominious fall. He served his time on Earth in a city called El Paseo where he did a penance of sorts (for all his actions as Luciferâs nephew) by helping DRAC (Demonic Resistance And Containment) an organization that is trying to hold together a world coming apart at its podes. Since God and Lucifer came together and called a truce and then left for universes unknown, both heaven and hell have been shaken.Through the first five books in this series, the readers witness Frankâs growth as a person and serious revelations about Frank, his parents and the real reasons for God and Luciferâs departure. Over the last couple of books, Frankâs personal life has been through the wringer but he has gained crucial information about his lineage and also gone up on the power scale. With this book, we find Frank back to his old hell (in this case, Hell actually). Heâs reminiscing about the events featured in book IV and V as they have literally changed his life and the lives of people around him. Bored about his wits, Frank decides to return back to El Paseo and face the wrath of his friends. True to his inklings, Rahim, Katon and Scarlett are there to confront him as well as certain characters from the previous books make their presence felt. However thereâs a crucial difference this time around, Frankâs no longer the bottom bitch and he intends to let everyone know that quite viscerally if need be.With the sixth volume, the author tries to keep it fresh and exciting and makes Frank even more headstrong than heâs ever shown to be. Perhaps it is assumable that this was how Frank was when he held his status-quo as AntI-Christ-to-be. Itâs an ugly picture but Frank still manages to entertain the readers and keep them on his side. Heâs also trying to get Rala the alien to decipher the contents of the strange book that Lucifer passed onto him. Lastly his search for El Paseoâs newest head honcho is quite darkly comical and action-packed sequence with golden delights such as a Were-Panda screaming âWu Tangâ and the re-appearance of a certain governmental agency.What the Panda is up to and what happens to him will have to be RAFOed by the readers, suffice to say, it showcases how Timâs dark mind works and this perhaps is a cool riff in regards to a certain beloved Panda. With this storyline, the action sequences are again brought to the fore and we see Frank relaxing in all his new power. The author never has had any problems with action sequences and in this one, he continues in the same vein. The story doesn't have that many plot twists as its two predecessors; I felt that was due to the nature of the storylines espoused by those books and so in this one, we get a solid twist in the last one-third of the story and story also ends on a cliffhanger, which makes book seven another must have immediately.Readers who have enjoyed the previous five volumes, will definitely enjoy this addition to the series as they will get to see Frank like never before. For newer readers, I would caution against starting Frankâs saga with this book as there are several major spoilers for the last two-three books and in fact the identity of the main antagonist also is a major reveal from a preceding title. It would be best to start with Armageddon Bound and enjoy the train wreck that is the life of Frank âTriggaltheronâ Trigg. Lastly for drawbacks to this title, the only sore point for me was the presence of a cliff hanger in the climax. After doing so for the last few books, I was hoping to not experience it again but I was not completely disappointed in that regard. However the author is also known for his speed and so Iâm not too concerned for the wait until book seven which might be in 2014.CONCLUSION: The Best Of Enemies is another solid entry in the Demon Squad series, for all lovers of Frank Trigg, Tim Marquitz doesn't disappoint with this one. Focusing on Frank who is a different version of himself, the author paints a vivid and dark story that will surely keep the readers entertained and hooked on till the very end. Get ready for a darkly comic thrill ride, ladies and gentlemen, Frank Trigg is in the control seat and itâs going to be a wild one.

Review: Somehow I can just picture the Dead Fiends as hells little versions of Minions; just less cute looking! As the book opens they are trying to entertain Trigg with Shakespeare renditions and musicals, that's when they are not busy alien burning or doing some fart redecorating (no, that's not a typo!)Frank "Triglatheron" Trigg is trying to work out what the book that Lucifer sent him for safe keeping is all about and poor little stripy alien Rala is having to muddle through it and getting hassle for doing so.As they go in search for a new place for her research, because Hell is obviously too busy! they come across poor, mourning Marcus and the best line in a book ever!As they venture back "up" to Earth they find that Old Town is a war zone and Veronica, the succubus ex-wife is not far away from the mayhem. But there is also another player in town and Trigg is back to his usual bullheaded way of barge in, ask later, which makes for some great fight scenes.When I think back to the first book in this series it's amazing how much Tim Marquitz has developed not only the characters and story lines, but his own writing skill, it's a world away.Rahim and Katon are attracted to the fray oh boy are they still pissed at Trigg for the alien snatcharoo.As the ever beautiful Scarlett arrives with a warning from Heaven you know that there is a new undertone to the story, and in true TM style little clues are already in play.As Trigg continues his search and slaughter method of finding the new pretender to be Old Town King, Squiddy turns up to add a new squelchfest to the fun, its seems the book translation is going well as new critters stream through a portal.Just as the dust settles the DSI and their buddies decide to say knock, knock with an RPG! Told you it's all go and mayhem!The humour is rife again in this book eg. over some alien calamari and sushi Trigg tells the DRAC crew about God and Lucifer's jolly holiday.As Trigg learns more about his new magical abilities and how he got them, Karra and their baby are never far from his mind, with his bestest buddy Chatterbox, with his awesome musical tastes, keeping a watchful maggoty eye on him, just why is she keeping herself so far away from him?Trigg finally gets to have a showdown with the New Potential Boss of Old Town with some more awesome monster fight scenes, I just love the way that TM has conjured up his own myths and monsters, reviving some classics with a twist... which ones? Read and find out!All I can say is I feel sorry for Veronica and her interrogation techniques.No major player is left out as Lord Focalor floats down from Heaven as yet another piece of the puzzle is put into place, but such is the writing skill of TM you are at such a close angle to the picture to not see it clearly.As the vamps and werecritters decide to add to the already cruddy day that Trigg is having the funniest fight scene occurs, Wu Tang!After doing a good reenactment of Shaw shank Redemption poor Trigg gets trapped, it is only then that TM allows you to pan back, full cinemascope, to see all the connections as pieces fall into place.The final showdown brings in all the factions; there are deaths, surprises, portals and some throwing involved! The cliffhanger ending had me left sat with my mouth hanging open!
