The Great And Dangerous by Chris Westwood
Jan. 8th, 2012 12:57 amThe Blurb On The Back:
We have a list too and your name is on it …
Ben Harvester and Becky Sanborne are clocking off after a normal shift at the Ministry of Pandemonium, guiding the souls of the newly-dead to the afterlife. But the enemy are still smarting after their catastrophic defeat at Halloween and are keen for revenge. A freak tornado that destroys Becky’s house is only the start. When thirteen souls are stolen following a bomb explosion on Bad Saturday, the Ministry staff know that it heralds an all-out war with the Lords of Sundown. But little does Ben suspect how far their influence spreads.
( The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )
The Verdict:
The second in Chris Westwood’s dark fantasy middle grade trilogy is a well written, fast paced and darkly thrilling story that sees its main characters really put to the test by the forces of evil in scenes that may be too much for younger or more sensitive readers. The book ends on a devastating cliff hanger and I’m really looking forward to seeing how Christ Westwood concludes the tale.
THE GREAT AND DANGEROUS will be released in the UK on 1st March 2012. Thanks to the Amazon Vine Programme for the ARC of this book.
