Publisher's summary

Nobody enters here after dark. Come back in the morning... if you're still breathing.

Thomas Ward is the seventh son of a seventh son, and apprentice to the local Spook. He has battled boggarts, witches, and the most powerful evils of the Dark. But his most trying task is yet to come.

When Tom and the Spook are deceived by one they trust, they find themselves in the most terrifying danger yet. Blood-hungry creatures have invaded a sleepy village. Tom can save the Spook - and the whole county - but only by betraying one of his greatest allies. With everything on the line, Tom must have the courage to stand and fight, and to face a choice that could break his heart.

Lives up to my childhood reading!

I love the voices for each of the characters, especially Grimalkin. Very good! I love the story. I read it as a child and am now re-listening to them as an adult. Wonderful story and wonderful performance!

Books 1-10 - merely a prerequisite for 12

Readers who don't like this sort of story probably will not have made it this far. I have, but only as a necessity to be fair. So far, book 1 was the best and the only character that is even remotely interesting is Alice. The series is mostly about how the two males get woke to the reality that women and the dark (somewhat synonymous) are essential. That and a lot of killing. This series is not about death; Harry Potter is about death. This series is about slaughter. My goal is book 12, "I Am Alice". After that, I may be so disappointed that I will have to go back and re-read Terry Pratchett's Tiffany Aching series, especially "I Shall Wear Midnight" yet again just for a reality check.

Intriguing

This was a great addition to the series. So many twist and turns and moments of question. I was a great read! I love the narrator. He does such a great job with the many characters.
