REVIEW:
Dark Urban Fantasy for the Young Reader takes them on a twisted ride of an adventure that follows on from the authors previous release The Edge of Nowhere. It wonderfully written and is a book that with the concepts to be explored within take the reader on one hell of a journey keeping you wonderfully immersed throughout, until that is the last few pages where something that has been carefully crafted and delightfully explored leave you feeling like its been wrapped up and ruined due to time constraints.
Its definitely a book that I was more than pleased I spent the time with, however with a disappointing conclusion and one that left me feeling cheated, I won’t be reading another book in the series for quite some time.
