Skulduggery Pleasant – Playing With Fire is the second book in the series by Derek Landy. Serpine is dead and gone, but trouble is brewing. Baron Vengeous intends to animate a fearsome monster called Grotesquery, created from a whole bunch of scary beasts, and he is near to finishing this horrifying handiwork. He has recently escaped and dead bodies and vampires are already turning up all over Ireland. He also out to kill Stephanie aka Valkyrie, he needs her blood to accomplish his task. Throwing those fireballs at Baron Vengeous and his minions, Skulduggery has to do all he can to stop him. Plenty of tongue-in-cheek humour between the detective duo as they go about fighting the good fight between good and evil.
"I'm sorry, Valkyrie," he said softly.
"Don't talk to me, just do what you have to do."
Valkyrie parted her tunic, and Skulduggery pointed the gun at the vest beneath.
"Please forgive me," Skulduggery said, then aimed the gun at the girl and pulled the trigger.
