Jack’s best mate, Charlie, has always been effortlessly cool. When Charlie wakes up one day and finds a mysterious, moving black tattoo on his back, it’s a clear sign that he’s even cooler than Jack thought. To top it off, Charlie has got super powers also. Or does he? Jack soon learns the terrifying truth: Charlie’s incredible powers come from an age-old demon called the Scourge, who is using Charlie to bring about its evil master plan. When the Scourge vanishes with Charlie, Jack and Esme, a girl with super powers of her own, follow their friend from the streets of London into Hell itself, where they face horrors that may well cost them their lives.Define Books As Black Tattoo

I was really looking forward to this book. I had read Crawlers by this author earlier in the year and it was great, so much better than I expected and highly enjoyable. So, when I found this book by the same author I had high hopes for another good book.What a disappointment! I quit at page 141 at the end of section 1 as I just could not bring myself to read anymore! This was just bad, boring and so overly long! The thought of another 300 pages of this was so not good.If I had read this first II loved this book very much.
I was really close to DNFing this one but it too a turn about half way though and it ended well. Though not my favorite it did have a few twist's and turns that I enjoyed.
I loved this book and wish I had discovered it sooner. Demons are something I enjoy reading about and these demons are different. And the universe.......well I wouldn't want to ruin for potential readers. But this book has it all.....and more. Very enjoyable
There will be readers who will enjoy this energetic, enthusiastically written book, but I am not among that company. This young adult novel reads like the half conscious fantasy of a teenage science fiction-comics-video game fan, complete with gladitorial battles, emotionally agonized women with superhuman fighting skills, old, powerful swords, immature tyrants, legacies from dying mentors, terrible tapeworms, and the fate of the world hanging in balance. And, of course, a demon made tattoo
I really enjoyed Jack as a protagonist and the world building here was neat but something was missing. I didn't care if anyone lived or died, Jack included. The whole universe could have ended in the story and I still would have said "okay."
More like 3.5 but I'll round it up.I liked the idea behind this book. I liked how the sidekick suddenly is forced to step up. I also enjoyed the humor in this book. The beginning was so slow though, I nearly gave up on it. I opened this book a year and a bit ago, read a few pages, got bored, and stopped reading. Yesterday I decided to give it another shot. It's worth reading past that boring beginning. I loved Esme. She was so badass and cool. I was cheering for her so much. I liked how low key
