In the previous comic, Kinsey begins to change some. She dyes part of her hair green and makes friends with some misfits from school. But things go wrong with her friendships when she uses her key to take away her grief and agrees to share a memory with one of them, then does so with the other as well making the first one jealous. Also, she is looking at getting back together with Zach, who it turns out is the Dark Lady of the Well and a bad person who is just using her to get the Omega Key that her brother Ty has. Ty has been hanging out with Zach and others and been noticing odd things like the pack of wild dogs that happen to come by. Or when he visits his gay friend in the hospital and he describes on to the people who hurt him as having a lip ring like Zach's. Or how Kinsey is now begging him to let her have to Omega Key to hold for a while which was Zach's idea. Also, Bode has been taken over by Zach when Kinsey and Ty get together and kill Zach. His spirit goes into Bode and he's still looking for the Omega key.
The beginning of this book goes back to the Revolutionary times and the Redcoats have killed Ben and Miranda's parents for not telling them where the rebels are hiding. Their brother Joshua is one of those hiding in the caves and they sneak off to them to bring the men a goat to eat and find that their brother is dead and that soon the other men will be too due to a doorway into the caves that the men opened up that let in a demon. Now, the demons that tried to get in were turned into an unusual metal but one of the men got too close to the door and looked inside and the demon got inside of him that way and he's been killing people ever since. Also, the door, though shut and covered in rocks, call to the men to open it and look inside. Ben decides to make a lock for the door with the demon metal and to make keys with the remaining metal; Then they'll flood the cave back up the way it was and Ben and Miranda will go and find someplace to hide until the Redcoats leave in a couple of weeks and the rebels will turn themselves in.
Bode's friend at school, Jay seems to sense that he isn't who he says he is and so he shoves him in front of a school bus and kills him; Then while he's in Kinsey's room he breaks her jar of grief and pain hoping it will find it's way into Ty's head where it will drive him mad, which it does. So Kinsey uses the head key to open his head and Bode is hoping for a look inside his head to find out the location of the Omega key but instead, he finds the key itself and takes it; Kinsey takes her grief and pain and puts it back into her own head. Ty and Kinsey go to the clock and use the time key to travel back in time to the Revolutionary time period to see the keys being made and then they go to 1999 when their dad was a teen and had the keys along with his friends, including Zach and what happened there.
This was a really good book with so many amazing stories to tell. Also, the artwork is so incredible. There is a picture of Kinsey's grief and pain and it looks like a black demon wearing a newspaper dress with a sash reading Rampage and he's/she's sitting on an old fashioned white facet that is on top of a black hooded figure with metal fingers and hands; I really can't do it justice. It's just an amazing piece of artwork and it's just one of many in this book. This book is really worth buying for the art alone, but the story is stellar too. How Zach wasn't always evil, but he sure is now. I give this book five out of five stars.
