Synopsis

His second attempt to break out of Furnace Penitentiary has failed. This time his punishment will be much worse than before. Because in the hidden, bloodstained laboratories beneath the prison, he will be made into a monster. As the warden pumps something evil into his veins — a sinisterly dark nectar — Alex becomes what he most fears: a superpowered minion of Furnace. How can he escape when the darkness is inside him? In Death Sentence, Alexander Gordon Smith delivers one chilling surprise after another, as the terrifying underground odyssey of his hero takes a nightmarish turn. In furnace prison, how can you escape once they make you their monster? “FRESH AND FEROCIOUS . . . WILL HOOK BOYS WITH ITS GRITTY, UNRELENTING SURPRISES.” —JAMES PATTERSON, AUTHOR OF THE MAXIMUM RIDE SERIES “FURNACE IS HOTTER THAN HELL AND TWICE AS MUCH FUN.” —DARREN SHAN, AUTHOR OF THE DEMONATA SERIES “Fast-paced and packed with nail-biting scenarios, and the gross-out factor IS high.” —SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL

Goodreads review by Kimberly on February 05, 2017

What a massive wild ride. My eyes hurt from reading the words so fast, my fingers hurt from turning the pages so quickly, my mind hurts from the unbelievable story this book threw at me. Yes, this is book 3. When I thought the horror couldn't get any worse, this was the best most awesome horror read......more

Goodreads review by Cindy on November 21, 2015

I dunno--this one just didn't captivate me as much as the previous two.

There's still plenty of action, including escapes from tight......more
