What They're Saying

Critics Review

You’d expect horror, but what surprises with this book is the clever way that there’s plenty of humour too, as well as a hero who isn’t just out to destroy by force; he is much more clever than that. – Sarah Brew * Parents In Touch *
Curtis Jobling’s writing is crackingly good in this story injected with wisecracks, bone-cracks and crooked crucifixes as Max confronts an ancient evil. Fans of Percy Jackson are going to absolutely lap this one up. – Phil May * Read it Daddy *
The vocabulary is electrifying - Jobling’s first description of a monster in the book is tremendous and reels the reader in for more. […] Overall, it feels written with love. They say you should write the book you’d want to read for yourself - I imagine that’s exactly what Curtis Jobling has done. Kids will monster munch it up. – Clare Zinkin * Minerva Reads *
As you’d expect this is full of thrilling action sequences but Max is a proper character, a decent young man at that, and his sardonic commentary on the gruesome goings on keep the balance between frightening and funny. Monstrous fun! * Love Reading 4 Kids *
This action-packed thriller sets up what promises to be a series filled w ith legend, lore, and epic battles. * Publishers Weekly *
