Back Cover Blurb:
For countless centuries monsters, men, and things in between have fought hidden battles over the fate of magic … in a small rural town in Virginia. Now their skirmishes threaten to explode into open war, with the entire world held in the balance.
Dylan Caid, a troubled misfit whose secret just might hold the key to victory, finds himself thrust into the center of this ancient conflict. With both sides urging him to join with them and threatening death or worse should he not, Dylan must seek out an ancient force that even monsters fear.
My Review:
I really enjoyed how detailed Allen was in the development of her characters and creatures. I had a really good sense of not only who everyone was, but what they were as well. Dylan was the perfect centre point for the cast of this novel. Not only do we get to know him well, both in the past and present, but his personality and the decisions he`s faced with really make him stand out. His wise cracking snarkiness was fantastic.
This novel is wildly adventurous, melding fantasy with reality, good with evil, to create an unforgettable start to Allen`s series. It will be loved by teens and adults alike.

ReplyDeleteNot sure what he will do but I'm sure things will be exciting and suspenseful until he decides!
ReplyDeleteHe's troubled, so the secrets he unfolds will probably give him the strength to choose with his heart
ReplyDeleteI think he will do the right thing even though it goes against his grain
