⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

Short Summary of the book:

A phone call from America with a plea for help. Alice is in danger. Her grandpa has been taken prisoner by a shadowy organisation, and she is at risk of the same happening to her. But what is the link between Alice and Jack? Can they save her? What does she know about Jack’s father?

What I liked about the book:

The book is well-written and action-filled.

What I didn’t like about the book:

Like the first two in the series, it was difficult to put the book down, and I was at risk of not getting enough sleep (just kidding, the book was just that good).

My favourite bits in the book:

The entire book.

My least favourite bits in the book:

I enjoyed the entire book.

Any further books in the series? Any more planned by this author?

This is the third book in the series, I’ve read and I can’t wait to read the next. I guess I’ll need to read The Tale of Nathaniel Cracklock first as number four doesn’t appear to be out yet.

What books could this be compared to and why?

Like stories about faeries and goblins? This is a story like no other.

Recommendation:

In summary, I would recommend this book to the following readers:

Children No

Young Adult Yes

Adult Yes

If you like fiction with a bit of fairy dust, but lots of action and evil goblins, too, this book may be the book for you.

I look forward to reading more books by this author.

Book Description by Author:

Book 3 – Alice and the Mirror Glass

Space and time. A recipe for disaster…

A plea for help, long lost family members, and a shadowy organisation hell-bent on stopping a terrible threat they think is the Fae. Jack and his friends are really in trouble this time.

What has Jack's dad really been up to? It's got a lot of people pretty angry. And the Cracklocks have got their hands on something they shouldn't. Something they don't understand. Something that they should have left well alone. And when Fae glamours don't work, what can be done to save the day?...

An adventure like no other, where the monsters aren’t just from Fairy Tales. What happened to David Cracklock? And why is the family ageing children prematurely? When fanatics wants to exterminate you, the catacombs under Cracklock Manor are certainly no place for a Fae…

Book 2 picks up directly from Book 1. Things are going to get complicated…
