"D.C. and Michael pack a wealth of wonder and fantasy into this young adult adventure. Incorporating some of the most fascinating legends … I found myself being drawn to the depth of the characters and enjoyed watching their bonds grow as they explored the gifts hidden deep within them as well as the evil that hunts for them. I recommend this story for anyone who loves folklore and monstrous fun! From vampires to dragons, from witches to eerie ferrymen, this tale has it all." Solomon J. Inkwell, Author of Vickie Van Helsing "A must read for all young adult fiction fans!" -Amazon reviewer "An imaginative urban fantasy, comparable to the Harry Potter series, except Charlie and his friends each have a special supernatural talent, and when they're not hunting monsters, have to cope with a normal school life. I especially enjoyed the weaving of old legends into this very modern adventure, which is deliciously dark enough to please older readers, yet remains family friendly." "Great book with a great cast of characters. Keeps your attention and makes you want to come back for more. I really appreciated the underlying theme of bullying and how it was addressed, but I especially loved the unique challenges and monsters the Monster Hunters faced. Can’t wait for more!” -Goodreads reviewer From The Authors We began this journey together, as father and son, with the goal of writing a story that spoke to friendship, overcoming obstacles (and the ultimate evils in our world), and of the power of working together to face the biggest challenges in our lives. Yes, it's full of monsters, peril, and steeped in exciting mythology and folklore, but it centers around the powerful bonds formed between an unlikely group of friends as they face a unique set of challenges. We wanted to write a story that we would be proud to read aloud to our, then, newborn son/baby brother (who now, years later, has read them through twice more). It has turned into the adventure of a lifetime as we are meeting people from all over the world who are falling in love with Charlie Sullivan, Darcy Witherington, Nash Stormstepper, and the twins Lisa & Liev Vadinknov - along with a wild, often humorous, and mysterious cast of humans and monsters alike. Charlie Sullivan and his band of unlikely friends are looking forward to a quiet, fun—and most importantly, normal—freshman year of High School. However, sinister activity haunts the shadows of their once sleepy little town again. With news of Chen’s disappearance, and an unseen force that threatens to break the protective wards surrounding Hunter’s Key, tensions quickly rise once more for Charlie Sullivan and his friends. A shocking betrayal, disquieting new figures in their own society, and a cloud of deception hovering over their elders weigh heavy on the team. The Monster Hunters of Hunter’s Grove could be shut down before they have a chance to stand against the demonic shadow that threatens their bonds of friendship, loyalty, and the lives of everyone they hold dear. Something, or someone, is tearing at the veil between our world and the Otherworld, promising to unleash true darkness and prepare the way for what hunters throughout the centuries have feared would one day happen … the rise of the Ancients.
