Creeping Shadow ( The Rise of Isaac 1)
By Caroline Peckham
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

 
A man waits in Vale, a world void of humanity. A mother vanishes, her disappearance concealed by the police. A girl collapses, black magic invading her blood. And a boy linked to them all must fight to save his family. Earth is just one of seven worlds. Gateways divide the realms and those who pass through must earn keys, participating in challenges that will separate the fearful from the brave, the weak from the strong, and the witless from the cunning. Sixteen year old Oliver Knight knows nothing of the other worlds or his family's dark past. But when his adopted sister succumbs to a deadly curse the truth is revealed and he is plunged into an unknown land in a desperate bid to save her. However, a sinister enemy is on the rise and the danger they face at every turn throws those around them under suspicion. In order to survive, Oliver must figure out who to trust, who to believe and, ultimately, who to fear...

This was an easy quick enjoyable read. It was different and I really enjoyed it the characters and story were really good.

PASSING THROUGH PURGATORY is the first book in the Passing Through Cafe series, and we start with Oliver trying to attend an interview in Greed. Unfortunately for him, a series of errors means he misses the train and doesn't get the job. What he does get is an introduction to the craziest bunch of characters I've yet to meet.

This was chaos from beginning to end, and it had me laughing out loud more times than I can count. Plus, seeing Oliver's reaction to Liel was sheer class. Cringeworthy, but classic! They had met before, but Oliver was too drunk to remember. Their relationship moves smoothly, with lots of wooing, which I loved.

This whole bunch deserve books of their own, and I have the second lined up ready to go (Jude and Toni's story). I can't wait to read their story and take a back seat to all the shenanigans that will no doubt go on. A great read that I definitely recommend!

** Same worded review will appear elsewhere. **
