It’s the fourth Skulduggery Pleasant adventure… only Skulduggery Pleasant himself is lost on the other side of a portal, with only some evil gods for company. Can he possible survive? (Yes, all right, he’s already dead. But still.)

What can we say, without giving too much away? Not much, is the answer. But what we CAN say is that this book is hilarious, it’s tense, and it’s packed with all the eye-popping action, crackling one liners and imaginative set pieces you’ve come to expect. There’s a new threat to our plucky heroine, of course. But that’s not all. There’s also the little fact of the Big Bad, the uber-baddy who’s going to come along and really, really destroy the world. (Really.) And what we learn about that villain in this book will literally make your jaw fall off and your hair go white with shock. (Not really.) Will Skulduggery make it out of the Faceless Ones’ dimension? Who knows. The problem is, he may not have much to come back to…

Jaw-dropping!

Skulduggery has been taken through the portal so Valkyrie must find his real skull to create a link and then reopen the portal to bring him back, but he's been in there almost a year - will he still be the same Skulduggery.
This one is more Valkyrie focused but I liked that she is getting more confident and her own protagonist.

I Like Fletcher because he can teleport and Skulduggery can fly now . He learned that in the realm of the Faceless Ones .

My favorite person was Skulduggery because he gets into danger.
I would recommend it to my Dad because he never reads!

If you like Dark mystery's, twists , evil fiction and books full of action then you will really enjoy this book . This Read is packed with tense in every chapter and [ when reading it ] made me unable to put it down. I totally recommend this read to fans of the skulduggery books. Age to read this book is 9+.

This is the fourth book in the Skulduggery Pleasant series. Dark Days is about an assassin called Dreylan Scarab who has been released from prison. He groups together some villiains: such as Springheeled Jack, Vaurian Scapegrace, Remus Crux, the vampire Dusk and Billy-Ray Sanguine, his son. They all have people who they want to take revenge on. Meanwhile, Valkyrie Cain, formerly known as Stephanie Edgeley, is trying to retrieve her detective partner and best friend Skulduggery Pleasant from the gate of the Faceless Ones. Does she do it? You'll have to find out...

Stories normally end well not this one. Skulduggery is sucked into a portal. Valkyrie goes to rescue him. The revengers club is setting off a bomb. they want to kill 80,000 mortals. Fletcher (Valkyries boyfriend) stops this from happening by teleporting to a quiet place.
