Short
Summary of the book:
This book may fit bets after the third in the
series and before the fourth, but can be read as a stand-alone. Where in book 3
we met Alice and her grandad Nat Cracklock, we learn what happened all those years
ago to the American branch of the family. How Nathaniel needed to escape the UK
following a pub brawl gone wrong. And what happened when he reached America.
Why do the American relatives fear the Fae?
What
I liked about the book:
The book is well-written and action-filled.
What
I didn’t like about the book:
Like the first three in the series, it was
difficult to put the book down, and I was at risk of not getting enough sleep
(just kidding, the book was just that good).
My
favourite bits in the book:
The entire book.
My
least favourite bits in the book:
I enjoyed the entire book.
Any
further books in the series? Any more planned by this author?
This is a stand-alone book in the series, and
the fourth book I’ve read by this author, and I can’t wait to read the next. I’m
looking forward to reading the fourth book in the series.
What
books could this be compared to and why?
Like stories about faeries and goblins? This
is a story like no other.
Recommendation:
In
summary, I would recommend this book to the following readers:

Children |
No |

Young
Adult |
Yes |

If
you like fiction with a bit of fairy dust, but
lots of action and evil goblins, too, this book may be the book for you.
I
look forward to reading more books by this author.

Description by Author:
The
US Cracklocks avoid the Fae. Why? The answers lie in the 17th Century…
Fleeing
the Witchfinders of England, Nathaniel Cracklock boards a ship bound for the
Americas. In Boston, a quieter life beckons. Or that was his intention.
However,
Nathaniel is not the only stranger to those shores. The New World holds a lost
secret, buried deep for aeons. And when misguided others awaken this ancient
terror, dark days lie ahead for humanity and the Fae both. Only Nathaniel and a
desperate few can stand against it. But the toll they must pay will echo
through the ages forever after…
This
is a tale of love, loss, darkness and light. The present-day Cracklocks should
heed it well. Their future depends on it.
