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.

This book starts off in the same vein as the other - Va'del is still not trusted by most of the Guadel but those that do trust him also respect him. Va'ma takes Va'del into his confidence and tells him of his fears that the Capital is not as safe as everyone thinks. They make plans to test out their welcome and make contingency plans just in case. It's a good job they do because then this story takes an unexpected twist.

Va'del and Jain find themselves in a world unknown to them and have to learn how to fit in quickly as their survival depends on it.

The layers upon layers of this story make it at once intricate, rich and detailed whilst still being an easy read. This story will draw you into it and take you along for the ride. Highly recommended for all Fantasy fans. Brittle Bonds reaches a natural conclusion that will still leave you wanting more. Luckily for me, I have Shattered Ties ready to go (review to follow).

In the first of a new series, we enter the world of the alters - where those that have gone through a paranormal change have to live. Their lives are irrevocably changed in more ways than one. To go back to the human world, you need a passport!

Connor and Iris are both obsessed with each other but neither will act upon it as they are 'enemies'. Vampires and Witches are basically distrustful of each other and with good reason. This doesn't stop the feelings that they are both fighting though. Circumstances push them together when it becomes clear that they are both being played and their lives are at stake.

This is a fast-paced and action-packed book that will delight and titillate! I loved the relationship that grew between Connor and Iris, even with the darkness that enveloped them both. The levels of trust go up as they spend more time with each other and learn the secrets of their past.

An excellent start to a new series that I thoroughly enjoyed. Definitely recommended.
