...The story itself is wonderfully creepy, and I was hooked from the first moment....

We meet Max on the bus to his grandfather’s house, having been sent away for the summer to help his mother make ends meet. From his first encounter with a disturbing stranger, the story moves swiftly to the apparently haunted house and crowds of strangers in black robes and that’s before the real plot even begins. The story itself is wonderfully creepy, and I was hooked from the first moment.

I’m not going to spoil this but readers of YA fantasy should definitely give this a read. It would be of particular interest to fans of the Tim and Two Witches, Harry Potter, or Magic in the Wind books, but the author has taken this familiar idea and made it entirely his own.

As regards presentation, this book has decent formatting, grammer and no annoying spelling errors or typos. There is nothing to distract or detract from the story.

Thoroughly enjoyable and I look forward to finding out more about Max.

  • Cora and the Nurse Dragon
    For children, or even adults looking for an undemanding read, this unusual fantasy story is excellent.
  • To Make A Witch: A Sword of Elements Novella
    Paranormal and modern or urban fantasy fans should look this one up – for them, it's a five. Psychological horror, occult, and suspense readers may also enjoy it – I'm all three and I certainly did.
  • The Secret Dead (London Bones Book 1)
    Intelligently plotted, well-written, and gripping, I can't recommend this book highly enough. I bought the sequel. Fantasy, Urban Paranormal, or just readers looking for a good story will all find something here.
