Spooks Apprentice

Well its been a while since I last Blogged. But in all fairness I haven't read anything quite worth while. In fact what I have read have been BIG disappointments. But we cant win them all can we?
 Anyway. The spooks Apprentice is the first of 5 books and up to now I am on the fourth. I bout The Spooks Battle while we were shopping in a gift shop when we were camping one weekend. And as I am not very observant I failed to notice that I had purchased the fourth book in the series. So as I had some money to spare and had taken my trusty Kindle camping with us I bought the others from Amazon.
Want some Blurb. Take some......Please its on me:-
A terrifying series about a young boy training to be an exorcist. Thomas Ward is the seventh son of a seventh son and has been apprenticed to the local Spook. The job is hard, the Spook is distant and many apprentices have failed before Thomas. Somehow Thomas must learn how to exorcise ghosts, contain witches and bind boggarts. But when he is tricked into freeing Mother Malkin, the most evil witch in the County, the horror begins . . .
 Well these books have me quite under their spell and although I haven't held a real book in my hands for a fair few months I am just about to start the one I bought when we were away. They are dark in quite a childish way. Think Harry Potter but with a better script. (I am a Harry Potter hater by the way)
 There is a lot of variety in these books too. Its not just all Witches and Wizards.
 Around £5.00 each from Amazon on Kindle and for paperback its roughly the same so its a win win. 

Enjoy :)
