Review

Twelve year old Jonathan lives in England with his parents and thinks he is a normal person. His parents have been able to protect him until they are attacked by evil demons from Hell. Jonathan is being pursued because of his unusual powers since he is the only half –demon and half-angel in the universe. After the attack he wakes up in the village of Hobbes End with a talking cat, a friendly werewolf, gargoyles that can move and converse, and some other very interesting characters. This story is imaginative, suspenseful, humorous, and at times a bit violent. It is a well written book that is full of action with well developed characters. I highly recommend this for readers looking for a unique fantasy.

Overall Book Score: excellent
