Embassy Of The Dead by Will Mabbitt
Oct. 2nd, 2018 11:25 pmThe Blurb On The Back:
Jake usually likes to stay out of trouble. But when he opens a strange box containing a severed finger, trouble comes knocking at his door. Literally. Jake has summoned a reaper to drag him to the Eternal Void (yep, it’s as deadly as it sounds) and his only option is to RUN FOR HIS LIFE!
( The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )
The Verdict:
Will Mabbitt’s spooky fantasy novel for children aged 9+ (the first in a series) features some cracking illustrations by Chris Mould (I particularly liked Zorro the ghost fox) and a well-crafted plot peppered with some good jokes, interesting side characters (I especially liked Cora, a hockey stick-wielding ghost stuck inside a school cup) and a relatable main character in Jake and I would definitely check out the sequel.
EMBASSY OF THE DEAD was released in the United Kingdom on 14th June 2018. Thanks to the Amazon Vine Programme for the review copy of this book.
