The Verdict:

The conclusion to Steve Feasey’s enjoyable CHANGELING series left me a disappointed mainly because there aren’t enough pages to adequately deal with all the storylines and developments, meaning that some plot strands are under-developed and others rushed. However, it’s still a pacey read and I enjoyed the zombie element. I would have preferred it had there been more of a sense of jeopardy for the main characters, but I look forward to reading Feasey’s next book.

The Blurb On The Back:

Two girls trapped in the Netherworld. One teenage werewolf determined to save them. But is Trey Laporte tough enough to win the Demon Games?

For humans, the Netherworld is a place of terror and brutality. For Trey, it’s where his greatest enemy lies in wait. But a human girl has been stolen by a vile demon lord – and the vampire’s daughter, Alexa Charron, has gone after her. Only Trey is brave enough to cross to the Netherworld to save them. Only Trey is foolish enough to believe he can defeat the demon hordes and win their freedom ...

The Verdict:

The fourth book in the CHANGELING series is another action-packed ride that picks up and develops story lines from the earlier books and really shows the characters growing and developing. There is a bit of a set-up feel to the overall storyline, but that set-up promises a stunning finale that I will definitely be reading.

The Blurb On The Back:

Trey thought he was the only one. It was a lie.

The last hereditary werewolf has found his pack – they’re vicious, bloodthirsty and truly wild.

Trey has had enough of vampires, demons and sorcerers. He needs to get in touch with his own kind – the ones with fur, fangs and killer instincts.

But the wolf pack howling at the moon in Canada is now what he expected. And without the protection of defanged vampire and demon-hunter Lucien Charron, the family secret is more dangerous than he ever knew. Trey’s out of control. Can the werewolf be tamed?

The Verdict:

Another fast moving instalment in this fantasy series leaves room for more character development of Trey and goes into his family history. The secondary storyline is similarly fast moving and exciting, leaving the way open for a return of the battle angel in the next book.

The Blurb On The Back:

Can Trey Laporte control his killer instinct?

First he discovered that he was a werewolf.

Then he joined forces with wealthy vampire Lucien Charron in a battle against the evil powers of the Netherworld.

Now Lucien lies in a coma and his gorgeous daughter wants her dad back. Trey is the only one who can save Lucien’s life.

But to succeed he must face his biggest challenge yet: a portal to the Netherwold, an Icelandic zombie, an evil sorceress, and Trey’s nemesis, the dark vampire Caliban.

The Verdict:

This is a fast-paced, fun series with chilling horror and a central character who is becoming steadily well-rounded and interesting. I look forward to reading the next in this series.

The Blurb On The Back:

Is he a boy or is he a beast?

Trey thinks he is an ordinary teenager. THen he meets Lucien Charron - a mysterious stranger with eyes that seem flecked with fire, and skin that blisters in sunlight. Suddenly Trey finds himself living in a luxury penthouse at the heart of a strange and sinister empire build on the powers of the Netherworld - vampires, demons, sorcerers, djinn. And Trey discovers his own secret: a power that's roaring to break free.

Meet the last hereditary werewolf. One thing's for sure: Trey Laporte will never be ordinary again ...

The Verdict:

Although the characters sometimes slip into caricature, there's much to enjoy in this novel and while it's a shame that Feasey uses a cliffhanger as a reason to get readers to continue with the series, the story and world-building is strong enough to appeal to boys and girls alike.
