Having accepted the priest's invitation, Danny starts looking for other "angel" candidates. What he finds is a strange pair of twins who run a furniture store, and their wares are more than a little suspicious... 

As you can tell from the synopsis, Danny is on the hunt for more murderers to populate the basement we've all come to know and....get creeped out by, in the main series. I was slightly worried about how this side series would go, as we obviously only met 4 of the residents of the basement, 5 if you include the Priest, and I did wonder how they'd stretch this out to however many volumes with just the same faces we've already seen. Not that I'm not curious about how Zack and the others came to be there! 

But it turns out I didn't need to worry! Thanks to Cathy, we are lead to meeting the twins who are perhaps the creepiest ones yet? I didn't think anyone could beat Danny and his shudder inducing eye thing, but wow...they are grim. Of course the Priest decides he doesn't need both of them, and only one of them is required which makes them crack more than they already had before, especially with Cathy and Danny needling them and pushing them all the way over the edge. I's unclear whether they'll really join or not as we haven't seen them in the main series! 

After the exciting focus on some new and incredibly gruesome characters, we drift back to focus on Cathy and her psyche, as well as her helper Lucy as we meet a prisoner of Cathy's who's just as twisted as all of the others so far. The thing that gets me about the killers in this series is that they're undeniably twisted...but they believe so strongly in their way of doing things and their reasons for doing things and think they're correct...it's actually so chilling. 

This volume introduced us to some new characters and we delved further in to Cathy and how she thinks as well as Lucy and their relationship with each other. There's even some hints dropped that possibly relate to Zack and his coming appearance as well! Interestingly it would seem Cathy isn't quite mentally the Cathy we know from the main series just yet, so it would seem we have a little bit of a journey to go on with her. It has to be said that this volume is also particularly blood soaked and creepy...if not outright gruesome so be warned!
