Publisher's summary

Things can never be the same again.

The Spook and his apprentice, Thomas Ward, have returned to the county after a long journey and a hard battle. But their troubles are far from over. Their home has been over-run by enemy soldiers. The Spook's house is in ruins, the boggart protecting it has fled, and the malicious witches imprisoned in the gardens have escaped.

Tom, Alice, and the Spook must flee, too, across the ocean to the island of Mona. And it's on Mona that this small band fighting against the dark will face an old enemy grown terrifyingly powerful. Will they be able to vanquish an evil that crawls beneath the ground itself? At what cost?

Will Tom and the Spook ever be able to return home?

Very enjoyable. Some parts are a little gross. Lol. But still a good novel. Can’t wait for the next!

This book should’ve been before the previous book

It was a good book but this story should’ve been before the previous book because the villain In it was more difficult to beat, it even killed his mom. Bony Lizzie should’ve been a cake walk compared to that.

Lackluster

This book did not live up to the rest of the series. I really enjoyed the first six books.

Great series

Have read the series, now just happened to re-read this one. I would give it a top rating, but now I feel just a bit hesitant. It is a very dark series, this one included. The Spook seems too out of touch for his role - how long does it take him to figure out the jar or care for the two companions. The Witch seems too cardboardy flat - just evil like all other supermalevolent beings. Thomas seems more like Tommie. Alice is perhaps the most complex character. Still, I will some day listen to the whole series a third time.

Love the story but Tom is too week in this book.

Waiting for Tom to kick more butt. So fustrating Alice is so much more powerfull. Oh well on to the next one.
