The Last Apprentice: Curse of the Bane (Book 2) by Joseph Delaney

5.0

This is the second book in the Wardstone Chronicles also known as 'The Spook's Curse'. It continues the story of The Spook and his apprentice, Tom Ward, as they journey to Priestown. Priestown isn't a good place for a Spook to hang around because the Quistor is in town and he has taken it upon himself to rid the County of the dark which includes witches, warlocks and even Spooks! But they must journey there because the Spook has some unfinished business. His nemesis "The Bane" lurks within the catacombs under the town and the Spook must defeat him once and for all. I listened to this book on audio book (as well as the first and third) which I thought was so much better than reading it. I really enjoyed listening to the actor performing the voice of the Bane, it was creepy and made it so much more entertaining than simply reading a book. I would recommend this series to boys or girls but beware it can get a little bit scary!
