Attack of the Fiend (The Last Apprentice #4)

Wow! This series just gets better and better! I don't even like horror, but these books strike the right tone.

I picked up these books on a whim, and discovered a wonderful series. When I found out that the fourth was to be released soon, I quickly bought the second and third books and practically devoured them, finishing them in a day.

I just got my copy. I had preordered this and had been waiting a while; it was well worth the wait! I could not put it down. My only regret is that I read it too quickly. If you're a fan of this series, you won't be disappointed. Lots of action and suspense from the characters we love. You'll stay on the edge of your seat from the beginning. Super, super book. I loved it!!!
