Thank you to the author for providing an e-copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
Sarah Field lives with her dad, who is a History teacher at her school. They share a close bond with each other as well as sharing a birthday. Sarah's grandfather, who was believed to have died when Sarah was a child, also has the same birthday. Sarah's grandfather is a mystery to her as her father refuses to talk about him.
One night, Sarah see's her father acting strangely. After he leaves the house, Sarah hears unusual noises coming from the attic. When Sarah's friends come to help her, they make a shocking discovery. Sarah's grandfather is living in the attic! But, he is unlike any other grandfather...
As she uncovers her family secrets Sarah must find out whether or not she has the power to give life to the Telum Deos - an amulet that was created to fight the forces of darkness.
What I liked about this book
- The relationship between Sarah and her dad was nice - even when they are arguing you can still tell that they are close.
- I liked the use of flashbacks to Sarah's grandfather's past as a way to show Sarah the truth. This added an extra layer to the story.
- I enjoyed the concept of the story.
- Some of the scenes were quite funny and entertaining.
- There isn't a lot of action happening until really late on in the story. I feel that due to the length of the book a faster pace would be better.
