review 1: This is a VERY scary book. My heart skipped a few beats a few times, but I couldn't put it down. I don't think my mom thought it would be so scary when she checked it out for me at the library. And the back cover is right. Do NOT read after dark. It almost gave me nightmares when...

review 1: Interesting, if unremarkable, little book about a young lad apprenticed to the Spook. The Spook is a sort of Buffy Summers that protects mankind for little or no reward. The writing is extremely basic, so basic that it was in fact too easy to read at first. I had to sort of te...

review 1: For now, the Fiend's been bound. Grimalkin, the Witch Assassin, has the Fiend's head and she is ready to take on anyone and any creature that may try to retrieve it.The narrator of the series has always been Tom. It's his view that has been in the series until this book. It's wha...

review 1: This series is never not good. They are fast-moving stories filled with witches, beasts, fights, ghouls of every stripe and narrow escapes. They can also be gruesome but this is a horror series so that's no surprise. This book is a bit of departure in that Grimalkin is the protag...

review 1: This might be a review that I have to come back to and revise after I've finished the series, but as of now I feel like this book added nothing to the storyline. It seems as if it was haphazardly added and was unnecessary. There wasn't even any real character development aside fr...

review 1: I don't know... maybe I'm suffering from Spook fatigue from reading 7 of these books in a row. But, it took some effort to finish this, and I felt like a lot of it was just repetition.Same old Spook, with his frustrating black/white views. Same Tom, stumbling too quickly into tro...

review 1: Joseph Delaney has never disappointed me in all the books I have read that are written by him. Lure of the Dead just builds onto that. Tom is growing up before my eyes and life as he knows it is changing. I love reading this series because it's an adventure in itself to read it. ...

review 1: First of all, I have to say (because I had this question) that this book is definitely part of the series and not a stand-alone, so don't skip it like I almost did.Grimalkin is one of my favorite characters from this series, and it's good to get more information on her background...

review 1: I really love this series, but felt this book was a little lacking. We've already dealt with Bony before, it was like there wasn't a new enemy, so Joseph Delaney brings out an old one. I'm also kind of depressed about the Spook's declining powers. And I was kind of hoping that...

review 1: Mais um das aventuras do Caça-feitiço. Desta vez, o livro começa com uma mênade em 'busca' de Thomas; temos um pouco de história das lâmias; e a mãe de Thomas quer que ele vá com ela à Grécia combater as trevas... mas a um alto custo; Bill Arkwright junta-se ao grupo e John Grego...
