Note: This novel is the second in the Lycopolis trilogy. I strongly recommend starting with the first book, Lycopolis. Seth has fled London – and, he hopes, his past – to an isolated house in the countryside. But his new home harbours an old secret, one that’s set to rock Mark and Hannah’s already shaky marriage ... despite their determination to have nothing more to do with him. Kay, the one person he considers a friend, wants to help. But she also wants to get on with her life and her studies at Oxford – and she’s getting increasingly annoyed with Seth’s capricious disruption of Lycopolis, the online game he runs. An empty picture frame, a dark snowy night, and the gift of a thousand pounds open up a dangerous path for fresh temptation and ancient evil to combine. This fast-paced novel, second in the Lycopolis trilogy, deals with guilt, escape, manipulation and the seductive promise of Oblivion.

Close to Perfect; a Great Read

Reviewed in the United States on March 8, 2018

If I good, I would give this a 4.5, because I more than liked it, but I can't fully give it the 5 stars.

Ali Luke didn't stay even keel as most authors do. She definitely improved between her first book Lycopolis and this one. While it was a little bit of a slow build in Lycopolis, the tension and edge came right within the first chapter, and stayed through to the end. The whole thing was so rapidly paced, I literally felt my heart quicken as I read. While it could easily be a single-day read, I tried to savor it and only read over lunch breaks at work. The short chapters were perfect for that time frame, but I couldn't keep the book out of mind, so I read over dinners as well. My "savoring" dragged the read out only 8 days...

I enjoyed that the reader didn't need to read Lycopolis first (although I do recommend it). Ali Luke does a great job explaining what happened in the first book without an exposition dump. The only thing that might be confusing to any who read this book first is the reference to "dolls," which had a key point in the first book, but only a passing sentence or two in Oblivion. I also enjoyed the character development. Particularly with Robert, who had a lot more page-time in this book, as well as Mark, who went from a character I greatly disliked in Lycopolis, to one I could sympathize with in Oblivion.

I still think Kay could have more page-time, since she is the main heroine, and I could never get enough of Brandon, although I can understand how he may not be the best one to advance the story with. Still, Kay suffered from "not enough page-time" in both books so far, so I hope she gets more chapters in the last one. The climax of Oblivion, while wonderfully intense, was also a bit jumbled and confusing at parts, which is where I stumble with giving this a full five stars.

Still, such a great book, such an awesome sophomore publication for Ali Luke, and an awesome show of improvement as an author. I can't wait to read how everything ends!

HOLY COWS IN A BUCKET OF WOW.
Just finished the book and it's exceeded all expectations and hopes and more.
It's a bit odd adding this review as an adult who actually bought a book *nothing implied here* but here goes.

Once again, I've gotten a first with Ali's writing - last time, it was the ability to keep track of characters, this time, it was the amount of drama. I actually was into what was going on and how much was going on and understanding the impact of it all. Like jeez, talk about adding on another lobe to my brain, cuz I actually kept track of it all and wasn't overwhelmed.

I want to keep this non-spoilery, so here's my take on it: a super gripping book (much like Oblivion's grip on Ed. Don't kill me.) and the pacing is ridiculously amazing. I dunno how this is written so well but I have book as one of my role goals in terms of pacing lots of drama.

It built off the last book wonderfully - not too much back-referencing so I didn't feel like I needed to re-read the last book (doesn't mean I'm not gonna) but it was nice knowing that everything kept playing out past the pages of Lycopolis without having to stop and attempt to recall what someone had done/said in that book.

Amazing ending too - satisfying but something to look forward to (thank you for not using a cheap cliffhanger. Gods I hate those cliffhangers that can be resolved with one more paragraph.)

All in all: very glad I know this book exists and glad I read it and just generally glad.
Also very glad these sort of demons don't exist.

Dark and Entertaining

Reviewed in the United States on January 26, 2016

This is a dark and suspenseful novel. It takes off basically from where that first novel Lycopolis ended. In this way, this novel can be seen as a consequence, an outworking of the first. As you read, the characters easily come alive and are fully dimensional: in fact, you may recognize people you know (their personality types, that is)! Within the setting, two realities are portrayed, the everyday reality we all experience, and a supernatural world in which demons operate. Both realms are quite convincing.
I value this novel—not just as an entertaining thriller, which it certainly is—but also for its implied emphatic lesson: Don’t mess with the occult. Participation in and toying with occult practices are too widespread in western culture as well as around the world and can be damaging and harmful. This story dramatizes such involvement and its consequences quite well.
In short, if you can handle dark novels that include demons, get this book. It’s an entertaining, fun read, and a page-turner. You might also want to pick up Lycopolis, if you haven’t read it yet. I highly recommend both.

We all Have Demons, Don't We?

Reviewed in the United States on May 2, 2016

We all have demons, don't we? It's just that in this second installment of the Lycopolis series, "demons" are both internal and external, psychological and physiological, sometimes simultaneously. While it can be read as a stand-alone volume, I recommend starting with Lycopolis so you have the background of the characters and why the things that happen in this book have come about.

Ali Luke has done a sterling job dancing between the two worlds her seven characters inhabit, creating a roller-coaster ride just as suspenseful and engaging as in Lycopolis. I can't wait for volume three!

And, if after you read this book, you ever hear anyone use the phrase "sink into oblivion," you will have a totally different perspective of what that really means... and probably run away as if your life depends on it. Because it does.

A thrilling roller-coaster ride

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 4, 2020

Oblivion is pacy and expertly plotted. The characters cover a good range of types; they are are believable and well drawn. What I found particularly impressive is that, despite the fast pace, the experience of reading the story is never superficial. The use of the supernatural is always in service of the characterisation and the themes, and is always thought-provoking as the demons are let in by the characters’ capacity for self-deception.

Like another reviewer, I would like to see more of Kay, and in particular the growth of her powers, and how that impacts on her.
