This is the 3rd book in the Darkside series by Tom Becker. I would have to say that I didn't enjoy it as much as the first 2 but really liked it nonetheless. I didn't get really "into it" until the actual robbery was taking place. Yes, there's a robbery and Jonathan is actually helping out. Not only that but he has to work with an enemy that he doesn't trust. Is Jonathan actually becoming a true Darksider? No, he has to do the robbery in order to save Mrs. Elwood. Sound intriguing? It is! If you liked the first two books, you'll definitely like this one.

Like the first 2 books this is excellent. Same characters and some new ones. There is bad feelings between the magician and fire-eater. It keeps you guessing which is the real "bad guy". Carnige is his usual wereman self and still in the limelight. Jonathan and Raquel are an intersing pair. I see somewhere in the future these 2 becoming an item. This book is a page turner and hard to put down. I didn't find this book scary by any means, but then I'm an adult and it's a YA novel. I do recommend this book and the entire series for anyone looking for something out of the oridinary.

I love this book and the shipping was sooooo fast. I got the book delivered in four days which was sooner than I thought and way faster than the fancy book store would get it in.

Tom Becker is brilliant! Werewmen, Vampires, Albino Magicians, and the Melee-Go Round. WOW!! This series grabs you from the first pages and doesn't let go. I was so desperate to have this book, I bought it from the Amazon Marketplace (The_Book_Depository) it came straight from Amazon UK. This book is written in "The King's English"(different from American English in subtle ways) which only adds to it's creepy charm.

This is a perfect book for reluctant readers and... well...just any lover of a good book. This book is listed as a children's book but it's scary, creepiness makes it perfect for middle schoolers. A great class read-aloud. I promise once you start this series (Darkside) you won't be able to stop. Once you,re reading it aloud to your class they will rush back to class daily for another installment.
BRAVO Mr. Becker!
