BACK OF THE BOOK
On their 18th birthday, twins Ellie and Tom each receive a surprise—a legacy from the paternal grandmother they never knew existed. When the twins find themselves stalked by a mysterious figure, they feel the need for a change in scenery.
A trip to the countryside to meet the father they believe abandoned them seems to be the perfect solution to the stalker problem. The twins soon realise there’s more to their father than meets the eye.
They discover he is a member of an ancient sect dedicated to tracking down ‘The Jaded Hart’—a demonic stag of legend. Meanwhile, The Jaded Hart is intent on finding the twins for its own reasons.
For Ellie and Tom, a simple trip to meet their father soon turns into a deadly hunt. The only problem? They have no idea who is the hunter and who is the prey!
MY REVIEW
I flew through this book in a couple of days and it is a great addition to the YA Fantasy genre.
From the stories ending I’m hoping this will be a series and if so I can’t wait until the next instalment.
As they turn 18, Ellie and Tom discover a grandmother they never knew has passed away leaving an inheritance for them on the condition they visit their father who they also never knew.
On meeting Tracker and his friends, the twins world unravels as they discover the legend of the jaded hart and reluctantly become involved.
The story didn’t end as I though it would and I need to read more now to see what’s next for Ellie and Tom.
