Gunhus, 2012. Pgs. 168.
Jack never expected his 14th birthday would bring
monsters as birthday presents. The eve before his birthday, he discovers that
his parents were monster hunters that died when he was a baby. As per the
agreement that no one under 14 could be harmed by a monster unless they
attacked first, Jack was raised by Aunt Sophie, who turned out to be one of the
monsters. Making the mistake of defending his new friend, Eva, from getting
killed by a monster, Jack finds himself without protection and having to fight
Ren Lucre, the vampire who killed his father. When Eva, Jack’s other friends,
Will and T-Rex, and a girl named Cynthia are kidnapped by the vampire, Jack
must figure out a way to defeat the thousand year old being with about a
ten-second crash course in monster fighting. Will he succeed?
A humorous, action-packed novel for fantasy fans. The
characters are likable and complex. The plot is well-developed and fast-paced.
The cliffhangers at the end of the chapter put the icing on the cake and easily
hold reader’s interest. Readers who like fantasy, adventure, and books with
monster will enjoy reading this book
