When Trisha contacted me and offered me a paper ARC I couldn’t say no. This is the second book in the Neath trilogy and I demolished book one in one sitting so I was really excited for this one, and it didn’t disappoint!

The Neath is this world created by witches and is directly beneath our own world, it was created as an escape for victims (abuse etc) that wanted to take control of their lives and provided a very real underground where they couldn’t be found unlike the safe houses and similar that are provided in real life. The topic of abuse, just like in the first book, was handled really well and added an extra dimension to the books.

I love all the creatures in this one, it definitely added an extra to what I felt was missing from the “fantasy” elements in book one. The twists and turns were super too! The whole George Herrick thing really surprised me in this book and it took a real turn I hadn’t been expecting. I’m excited to see who’s been the real mastermind behind Ollie’s entire thing! I’m excited to see where book three takes us, and will be impatiently waiting! The set up for the next book is completely there, and I’m excited to follow Ollie into the next adventure!

If you’re looking for a new fantasy author, I recommend checking out the first book in this trilogy, and then this one when it releases later this month! It’s really imaginative, relatable and page turning all at once!

Thank you so much to Trisha for the gifted copy of book two 🙏🏻

this was a great sequel in the Neath series, it had what I enjoyed from the first book and improved upon it. I could see the Neil Gaiman inspiration in the book. The characters were what I was hoping for and worked well in the world and the previous book. I enjoyed how good the characters were and well-developed. I'm glad I got to read this and look forward to more from T. M. Blanchet.

"You said yes,” she finished for him. “You always say yes when I need you. And when things get complicated, you always figure out a way through. I’d say that qualifies as both tough and clever. And as for handsome…” After a pause, she reached out and slowly started walking two fingers up his arm. “Well, I think we’ve established my opinion on that particular subject.”
