Press Association review Sentinel

The Press Association have reviewed Sentinel! Check out what they thought below…

Just weeks before he turns 16, Nicholas Hallow is orphaned when his parents die in a bizarre train crash. They’d left him at home in Cambridge in the care of bubbly neighbour Tabatha, but hadn’t told him where they were going. In their absence, Nicholas finds a hidden room containing vast tomes of Sentinel Chronicles and a birthday gift from his parents. Sam, an elderly friend of the Hallows, is tasked with telling Nicholas what has happened to his folks and takes him through unseasonal snow to the remote country mansion home of his ‘godmother’.

On the way, Nicholas has a strange premonition moments before their decrepit bus is stormed by a beautiful, scarlet-clad woman intent on murder. Nicholas begs Sam to explain his parents’ secret life, but it falls to his strangely youthful godmother Jessica, to reveal that he himself is a Sentinel, a “supernatural demon hunter”.

Written poetically (“An angry black cloud was unfurling across the afternoon sun like a colossal inkblot”), with carefully-drawn characters, this is an extremely promising YA debut by a young author.
8/10

Splinter is out now!

SplinterPhew, I don't know about you, but I'm feeling the heat. It's pretty apocalyptic out there at the moment, which is sort of fitting because GUESS WHAT – Splinter is out today!

It's been sort of an epic journey since Sentinel was published in 2014, but the trilogy is finally complete, and I'm allowing myself a quiet little moment of pride that I made it over the finishing line. Splinter, hopefully, is the best in the trilogy – I tried to deliver a huge conclusion that doesn't skimp on the emotion.

But what are you still here for?! Get yourself over to Amazon and grab a copy.

ALSO, if you've not read the trilogy yet, or if you have but love a bargain, Sentinel and Ruins are both just 99p on Kindle for the whole of July! Be sure to let everybody know.

Thanks so much for coming on this journey with me, and I can't wait to hear what you make of Splinter!
