THE THORNTHWAITE INHERITANCE by Gareth P. Jones
If you have read A Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket then you’ll appreciate the quirky humour of this murder mystery.
If you’ve got a brother or sister then you might just understand why Lorelli and Ovid Thornthwaite spend so much time trying to kill each other.
SKULDUGGERY PLEASANT by Derek Landy
“Full of black humour, super powers, mysteries, murder and mayhem.”
The book is amazing. As soon as I read the first page I wanted to read the next book. The comedy fits in all the right places and adds to the fun and dangerous adventure.
With loads of magical and fist pounding mayhem this story will smack you right in the face as a marvellous book.
A few people had read the book before me and recommended it and if they hadn’t I would have missed out on an amazing adventure.
I have just recently finished the book and have moved on to Skulduggery Pleasant: Playing with Fire.
Also a third book has been published called Skulduggery Pleasant: The Faceless Ones.
