The Spook's Curse: Book 2 (The Wardstone Chronicles)

Very very VERY good book but the first one was scarier and better but I am going to get all the books

A thrilling and spooky sequel .... Even better than the first book of the series ... Thoroughly loved it ... 😍😍😍

This is really very well written. It was a perfect mixture of thrill excitement mystery and friendship. In this part we especially get to see the growing relationship between spook and his master.it is really more intense and horrifying than the previous part it is definitely not meant for the children.

Amazing series!!!!!!!!

Wardstone Chronicles Book 2*The Spook's Curse*Yeah! I finished this in a single day. Its bigger than the previous book. But not at all compromising the style of writing and the captivity. One thing I noticed is that throughout the book, their is a melancholy emotion. Every single chapter has some hint of melancholy and sadness whether it be the poor victims of the Quisitor, the history of the little people, desperate and hopelessness, helplessness, the corrupted priests of Priestown(Love the town name), Alice's suffering, Toms Dads I'll health, etc,etc. There's a lot of violence and sadness as compared to the first book. But there isn't much horror, excluding witches and all. There's just much action, thrill and adventure. Tom seems to have grown very much and already seems a professional Spook. But he's got a lot to learn at the same time. Alice comes into a limelight, getting a very major role and influencing the storyline heavily. The bane, on of the strongest old gods is revealed in the book as the villain, he has breathtaking and somewhat scaring abilities, powers and appearance. He almost seems a legend and a myth. You can get his image in the Spooks Bestiary. The style of writing is extremely well, but as I remarked, there's a lot of sadness, which may upset a few readers. Many things have been happening at the farm too. Toms Mams abilities and history is revealed, Tom begins to suspect shes a witch. Alice suffers a lot, a lot in the book. I really pity her. Throughout the book she suffers the beatings of the Inquisitor, The Bane Possession, Spooks Harsh words and a lot of blood loss. But in the end, she's a happy soul. The little people, who worshipped the bane. I like their history. The spook seems much more weaker and suffers from his old age. The encounters with the Quisitor and The Bane are really enchanting, they just keep you hooked. This is totally a page flipper book. The description of Priestown is great, though I don't like it as good as I like Chipenden. The priests and their atrocity is very well highlighted by Delaney. Character development is totally great. Dialogues are wittty and to the point. The book also has a short backstory of Mam, Spook and the Bane along with the Little People. It reveals the relations of the spooks and the developing of friendship between Tom and Alice. Tom seems more skilled, but disobedient as always.I like the Boggart capture, entering Priestown, Mams backstory, her letter to Tom, the bands dialogues (especially the ones at the end), The qui suitors death and the possession of Alice. The ending entry from Toms journal is very inspiring. I this Delaney overdid the priest and athe church thing a bit but it just adds some magic to the story. Nothing g negative to talk about. A very delightful, remarkable, awesome, fantastic, marvellous, page flipping, enchanting book that hooks the reader. Great stuff. Just grab it. Nice Reading.😘

This was my lasted fix of my new addiction. Slightly longer than the first book, but still completed it in a matter of hours. The imagery in this one is a bit more guesome than the first, but left me with a greater hunger for the next book than the previous had done. Some very interesting character development, and the plot is clearly developing into something bigger. Already ordered the next book.

Bom,

I love this series! It is well written and kept me on the edge of my seat the entire book. It was one where I would almost throw things at someone that interrupted me. That doesn’t happen very often. I will get irritated, but not often to the point of throwing things. Book 2 kept the same feel as the first book. The characters were the same, but you could see them growing as they went along. This is a wonderful story that keeps you entertained through the entire book. I would definitely recommend this to anyone that enjoys fantasy.

Amazing book i would recommend anyone to read this book. I look forward to reading the next book to see what Tom, Alice and the spook get up to next.

The first book in the Wardstone chronicles was excellent, it was spooky, witty and suspenseful. Delaney has delivered us another winner with the second title, The Spooks curse, which takes is farther away from the spooks house and into Priestown where an evil lurks in the catacombs, an evil the spook has faced before. The writing is once again thrilling, scary, perfectly described and when reading the pages seem to flick past in a blur. The characters of Tom and Alice are developing well, but Delaney wisely leaves many details about the Spooks life secret, which gives his character a sense of mystery that makes the books even more enjoyable. The situations are scarier, the enemy more evil and terrifying and the book is longer which is a huge bonus, though i still finished in two days and am desperate to read the third.Not since the Harry Potter books have i so anticipated the sequels.
