REVIEW:

To be honest with you, I’m was quite sad to read this title, the last in the Changeling series by Nick Feasey. The characters have grown with their roles, they’ve had conflicts internally as well as the greater threat from outside and whilst its moved at its own pace, each of them have become friends in their own way.

That said, Nick really didn’t let up with this title, he created a no holds barred book where anything could and possibly would happen with the reader never sure as to whether the team would survive the final epic confrontation with Caliban. It is wonderfully written, the plotline pretty explosive and when you add it all in with the writing style of the author the prose really does bring it all to life which makes this a great conclusion and all in a story that will delight the fans. It’s going to be interesting to see what he comes up with next.

BOOK BLURB:

Teenage werewolf Trey is facing the most important and dangerous mission of his life. He must journey into the dark Netherworld and rescue Alexa, daughter of his vampire guardian Lucien, who is being held hostage by a powerful demon lord. But strength and courage alone are not enough to succeed - instead Trey must 'win' both their freedoms by participating in a death-match against his deadliest nemesis yet. The forces of evil are stacked against him and Trey can only be certain of one thing...one of them will die.


REVIEW:

This was a title that I wasn’t sure which way it would go. It had potential to be a story of eco discovery, the potential to be a tale of emotional as well as worldly knowledge as well as possibly becoming a hodge podge of too many idea’s and not enough substance.

What actually happens within is a novel that takes the reader through the emotional wringer and also has a message about mankind’s influence on nature and what we should be doing rather than what we are.

This is a title that’s more for the older reader and one that will play with the heartstrings, emotional, inventive and about all else one that will make you think.
