This book was very suspenseful and action. I would highly recommend this book to just about anyone. Some words to sum it up thriller, action/adventure, suspense, and exciting.

I would recommend this to horror lovers. Warning, not to be read after dark, especially page 148. Would you like to be the spook (definition: Spook, a person who rids villages of ghosts, ghasts, baggarts, and withces). Thomas Ward the last apprentice is only in his first year and hi fights a level one witch (the worst of all). Will Tom survive to become the spook or will he end up like the apprentice before him?

Scary pictures, a twisting plot one of the book that makes it fun to be scared. Dinah and her friend find an abandoned graveyard in the woods. Then they uncover the terrifying secret that sends them on an adventure, but they can’t come back. They either finish…or die.

Black Duck is a great mystery and intense book. One second it is peaceful and the next… someone is getting kidnapped. Jeddy and Ruben were once best friends, but then that friendship was split by a dead body washed up on the beach. Jeddy’s dad was a policeman and was trying to figure out this case. Every piece of evidence all traced back to the Black Duck. The Black Duck was a big speed boat that would always out run the Coast Guard. The Duck smuggled thousands upon thousands of cases of illegal liquor into the United States. Ruben gets into the action and is now telling his unpredictable story to the public in this science-fiction book.
This book was so cool. It was about these two kids, Lady Di and Tom who live in a trailer park next to a chemical plant. When one of their friends disappears, it is up to them to follow the math clues that she left to rescue her. I liked this book because it had a lot of math problems in it and I’m not too good in math. I liked how the kids didn’t get the problems at first and when they did, the book explained how they got the answer. I would recommend this book for anyone else who is having trouble in math.

When a few mysterious deaths pop up, was it an overdose or murder, it was a Silver Blood, the worst kind of vampires. Red bloods are just human, blue bloods and vampires and silver bloods are vampires who suck the blood out of the blue bloods

This book didn’t really have a plot. Ally and Nick got to Everlost, they tried to leave, but found out they couldn’t. They helped the McGill find his sister and then sent all the other kids to the place but they never actually made it.

This book wasn’t the best. There were parts in this book where NOTHING happened. Overall I wouldn’t read this book again. It was okay, I guess, I mean the plot was good and all, but it could have been a bit shorter. The book was about and elf (the last elf), a dragon (the last dragon), a prophecy (the last prophecy from the second Runic Dynasty) and a girl with a name meaning of the sun. All that really happened was the elf and the dragon rescued the girl and her friends.

The first book was much better. I think the author should have written this one from Alexander’s point of view. It would have been much more exciting. I would have liked it better knowing why Alex left before Raven went to find him. we never actually found out where he went, anyway. and it would have been easier to understand why Alex left Luna, Jaggar’s sister, at the vampire changing ceremony.
