Synopsis: Clint and Corbin are having a weird day. Best friends for life, things are getting a little strange around their town, and at school. When they're followed by a strange man looking for Clint and later attacked by an imp, it makes sense to retreat to the safety of home. But when strangers from another world, Banks and O'Neil, arrive with their medley of allies, things get even weirder. Why are they here? What do they want? And what is The Requiem that everyone keeps talking about? As Clint and his friends and family are drawn deeper into a thrilling adventure, only one thing is for sure. They may not be getting out alive. And class with Mrs Christenson will seem like a walk in the park after this.
Review: I had to DNF this book at 54%. I really tried to get into it, but the book constantly jumps around from scene to scene without any explanation and it gave me whiplash. The book also has really bad character development and story design considering we don’t meet the main characters until ¼ of the way through the book.
Verdict: Not for me, but maybe for you.
