If you thought the first book was filled with weird and wonderful creatures - you ain't seen nothing yet! With the perfect balance of comedy and edge of your seat action, I couldn't put this book down. Without giving away any spoilers, the ending hit me in the feels... and of course, I can't wait to see where the story goes next. Patiently(ish) waiting for the next instalment."
