Sometimes to be good, you have to be bad…
This book exceeded my expectations.
At first impression, partly due to the cover art, I judged this to be aimed at younger readers, maybe age 9-12, but on further reading I think this is the sort of book that adults / young adults could also read (Hunger Games, Harry Potter etc)
It’s got that darker elect appeal (the main character is the son of the Boogie Man) but uses lots of fun language in a fantasy world setting.
There are secret underworld societies, witches and monsters walking among us (“Monster is a label we’re trying to edge out…’Creature of the night is better”) and reeve at modern theme of the outsider feeing disconnected with their community surroundings and trying to find a place where they fit in, whilst discovering more about their family and inheritance.
Perfect for the misfit generation.
There’s definitely more to come from Rayleigh Mann’s universe.
