The Last Nightfall is the final instalment in the Witchfinder series, which began with Dawn of the Demontide, and continued with Gallows at Twilight. Each book does offer a separate story, but it's certainly meant to be read as a trilogy.
As I said in my first review, when I was myself a teen reader, there wasn't much of a selection, and I my main entry into adult reading was through horror books. The action and fear was something which appealed, but there were many adult themes within which didn't.
This has certainly changed now, and the Witchfinder book fit in perfectly. They are indeed action packed, they offer fear and scares, and a fascinating world.. and yet they also include teen themes, such as family, friendship, and love. They also offer a welcome change from the usual paranormal fantasy.. vampires don't sparkle in these books!
The last book in a trilogy is always hard to review, as I don't want to give anything away. For new readers, I would certainly recommend going straight to the first book and getting started. For those who wish to know whether the ending is worth it, then it's a resounding yes. The same themes continue, friendships and relationships continue to be explored, and it's all surrounded by the action packed horror. The increased pace of the second book continues, and it's yet again hard to put down.
As for the final ending, there was no disappointment. William builds to an exciting and detailed ending, avoiding predictability.
The Witchfinder series has proven to be great reading from beginning to end. Whilst keeping the `real world' firmly in the background, it has brought horror, witches, demons, magic and evil.. as well as friendship and love - not an easy mix to achieve! It's been fast paced, a joy to read, and is sitting on my shelf waiting to be re-read sometime in the future. Highly recommended!

"here is the orb..."
this what is called a mind blowing story, the twist is amazing, loved every minute,
and through out the pages the author would ALWAYS put you on an edge,
p.s Although you might have the feeling you read something familiar some where -maybe its jus me not sure-but still you will enjoy it ,its dyed with the author's unique thoughts,plot and EPIC imagination.
in this trilogy's sequel he kept hiding the end of the sentence, WHAT! will always echo in your mind, with every chapter he will make u pause with this "WHAT!" take you to another part and REALM of the story leaving you with another "WHAT!", and return to answer the first, actually it will drive you crazy, and although you could guess it out yourself, you will STILL find surprises throughout the lines, brilliant work , awesomely made character, and a fair good ending, trust me you WILL smile in the end.
