Publisher's summary

Warning: Not to be listened to after dark.

For years, Old Gregory has been the Spook for the county, ridding the local villages of evil. Now his time is coming to an end. But who will take over for him? Twenty-nine apprentices have tried: some floundered, some fled, some failed to stay alive.

Only Thomas Ward is left. He's the last hope; the last apprentice. Can Thomas succeed? Will he learn the difference between a benign witch and a malevolent one? Does the Spook's warning against girls with pointy shoes include Alice? And what will happen if Thomas accidentally frees Mother Malkin, the most evil witch in the county?

Setting the stories.

This is book 1 of a great series. Although, it might be considered a child to teenager book, this book has so much more than just a children's book. It has ethics, mystery, challenges and more. The book is great. I won't tell you the story but it of a young boy, finding his way as an apprentice of a older spook (a man that fights evil in every form).

rushed

The story premise was interesting but it felt rushed and got through the story without much buildup. I may listen to the rest of the series if I can get them on a sale but probably won't go out of my way to get them. they all look to be pretty short books

Great!!

Can't wait for the next one in the series, well worth listening to. I listened to it nearly non-stop, so did my 13yr old son.

Great story, good narrator

I really enjoyed the story as the reader’s narration. My only issue keeping the performance from five stars is the music that plays at the beginning of several chapters which makes hearing the narration difficult at times. Aside from that, a thoroughly enjoyable listen.

Easy yet intense

I️ really enjoyed this book. It was not a very complicated book, easy to follow along. There were a couple of time when my heart started pounding and I️ got a little anxious. Fantastic narrator as well. Excited for #2.
