The Last Apprentice: Clash of the Demons (Book 6)

By: Joseph Delaney

Narrated by: Christopher Evan Welch

""You can't make alliances with witches and suchlike and hope to avoid being drawn toward the dark.""

As the Spook's apprentice, Thomas Ward's first duty is to protect the County from ghosts, boggarts, and other dangerous creatures. But now his mother has come back from her homeland to seek his help. One of the most dangerous of the old witches, Ordeen, is about to return to earth, bringing with her suffering and devastation. Tom's mother has mustered a powerful army—including Tom's friend Alice, the Pendle witches, and the assassin Grimalkin—to confront Ordeen. If Tom joins them, the Spook will refuse to take Tom back as his apprentice. What sacrifices will be made in the battle against the dark?

Awesome story

The narrator truly makes this book series come to life! I recommend it to all young adults and older adults.

Things get darker....

Mam returns from Greece to ask Tom, Gregory, Arkwright, and all the witches in the County to help her fight a war against an ancient enemy. Tom agrees to fight, much to the disappointment of his master. The story shifts here. The Dark has grown strong and with Fiend on the loose no one and nowhere is safe.

6th in a line of good books.

Another good addition. In my personal opinion, it felt a little like the author was rushing to get a bit more out of every chapter of writing, but the story itself doesn't suffer because of it.

The narrator was excellent as always, though I still wish he'd be a little stronger with Alice's voice.

Best book ever

10/10 great story great performance listen to it every day and night with pleasure

Great book with great narration

Any additional comments?

I have noticed several reviews saying that the narration was different or worse than prior books in the series, Something must have changed since those reviews were written, because it was the same narrator using the same voices, and was superbly done.
