 Blood Creek Beast starts where Blood Creek Witch ended.  Jack and Jenny stayed behind in “Round the Bend” with Annabelle Rose to seal the gateway and keep guard over it. Jessabelle and Sean went back to Maple Bend to keep watch on the gateway on their side.

 When Annabelle sends Jenny and Jack to buy provisions in the nearby town of Hobbfield, they end up chasing away bandits who were extorting the poor villagers.  Jenny goes back to Annabelle for help, and Jack sets off to find the sheriff in the next town.. Jack always wanted an adventure; as he travels further away from Jenny, he is thrown into the deep end of a fantastical fairytale reminiscent of Jack and the Beanstalk.  He encounters friendly Giants and evil Fae creatures.  An as in any good fairytale, there is a Princess, conspiracies, loyal guards and torturers.

While Jack is living his adventure, Jessabelle is discovered in her Panther form and taken by the Coven and Thadeus. With the help of an old friend of her father’s, she escapes; she aims to find the other gateway to Round the Bend to warn the people there that Thadeus is on his way to free his daughter.

When Jack and Jessabelle meet up around the bend, they are friends and fighters gearing up to take a stand against the Coven.

 Will the friends prevail and save two worlds? Will Jenny and Annabelle be in time to save their friends, and what happened to Sean?

This action-filled audiobook is captivating, and you need to continue listening.  I kept checking how much time was left in the book as I did not want the story to end.

Now for Blood Creek Phantom…


I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

This is a good read and it contains an immense amount of information that will hold your attention until the book is finished.  There are however small instances where some knowledge about certain facts in the investigation is needed. Maybe the author could add some of this information in a foreword. For example: In the police report it is mentioned that there is a tear in his vehicle's seat, the relevance and importance of this fact is uncertain if you are a first time reader

As promised, here is DODGER!

If you know the words 'Please sir may I have some more, you also know who said it and which book.  Oliver Twist, to some, is the best known of Charles Dickens' books.  Yes, A Tale of two cities and Great Expectations are also well known but did not honour being made into a Disney Animated Film or a musical. As with many books, the title character is not always the one that people end up liking.  In the case of Oliver Twist , the Artful Dodger is the character that steals the show and how appropriate for Terry Pratchett to take this lovable character and give him the Pratchett makeover. Those of us who have read the Discworld novels and novels such as Nation  know that anything is possible once Pratchett has taken a character into his world.  For some, it might be disappointing to realize that there was nothing magical in Dodger .  That is to say nothing magical as in the Discworld novels. Knowing who Dodger is and knowing the brilliance of Pratchett, one can
