The nostalgia! Always a good, quick read. Makes me want to gobble up the pages and stay up past my ‘bed time'. I remember devouring this series when I was younger, I'll see if I can find the 9th book.
It's pretty amazing how consistently this series delivers a great story. I read the first seven books in the series in 2011 and now am just waiting for the subsequent ones to be published in paperback. So far there are twelve books in the series! The story zips along at a great pace, full of danger, narrow escapes, and all manner of ghouls. In this outing, the apprentice Tom Ward, his master John Gregory, and Tom's friend Alice (daughter of a witch) find themselves in Ireland. The witch assassin Grimalkin is also featured. Part of the appeal of these books are the great characters. It's a great, scary, edge-of-your-seat series. (It also features some great wood-cut illustrations by Patrick Arrasmith.)
