Book four of the series is darker still and a fun and enjoyable read - Things get more intense for our apprentice and now he has to try to stop three covens of witches from joining powers to raise a demon from his prison -
I would say that the only thing that I found strange was that the character seems older than his age - at 14, he is a strong hero, but acts like he is closer to 18 - not a huge deal, because as we grow up physically, we grow up mentally as well - So, Tom is mentally older than his body I guess
Tom Ward faces a great challenge - I will also say that this is the first book that ends with many things left unfinished - now it is becoming a series of, 'but, you must read the next book' - not a horrible thing, because these are fun reads, but don't require someone to continue to learn what happens next - leave a tease -
Anyway, this is an enjoyable read, and the series is still going along quite well.

Each book just gets better and better. I can't wait to see what happens to Tom and Alice and how they're going to save everyone... again.

This book introduced some interesting new characters whilst adding complexity and maturity to our well-loved returning characters. I thoroughly enjoyed the new setting and the darker, intensified nature of the plot. This book feels like a turning point for the series and I am excited to read on!

Okay Alice and Tom just need to be together. Now. There were parts of this book that were anticlimactic but I still enjoyed it. I can confidently say that I'm hooked to this book series.
Tom was still stupid throughout the whole book but I will say he is getting better. He may be the luckiest spook I ever read about. It seems that any time Tom gets in trouble, some magical coincidence happens and he stays alive. Hopefully Delaney will fix that because it is very annoying.
