The Fireside Chats

This was the last book that my readers picked for me (this one received the most votes anyway) so this was what I read. I have this on my Kindle Fire so I read it in e-book form. I actually enjoyed this book. It’s one of those scary books (but it’s not too scary for me) that keep you on the edge of your seat. I can actually see myself reading this about 6th or 7th grade when I was reading the “Goosebump” books or the “Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark” trilogy. If you like either one of them then you’d probably be interested in this book.

Synopsis: When young novice monk Brother Beowulf is sent to spy on Spook Johnson, he has no idea of the trouble he’s about to find himself in. Johnson boasts to Wulf of his battles against demonic creatures, and even seems to imprisons local witches, though Wulf is sceptical – not least because the church has taught him that Spooks are a force for evil, and not to be trusted. But then the monsters Johnson claims to fight turn out to be very real indeed, and soon Wulf is forced to seek help from another young Spook, Tom Ward, who terrifies and charms him in equal measure.
