Gwithyas: Door to the Void

by Isha Crowe

Zircon Gwithyas is destined to be the Guardian of the Door to the Void. Or so his parents tell him. Zircon has different plans. His goal is to be a normal teenager, preferably with a pretty girlfriend. For a nerd with glasses as thick as jam jars, that isn't so easy. The fact that Zircon lives in a derelict manor on a haunted hill with a bunch of spooky eccentrics for a family makes it even harder. It becomes almost impossible when Zircon gets dragged into in a dark, chaotic adventure in which he struggles to retain his sanity, win the love of the courageous yet irritable Joanna and impress his centuries-old ancestors, all while trying to save the world from a horde of blood-thirsty, sadistic demons.

[Stephen Blake · Rating 5 out of 5]

I really enjoyed this book. I highly recommend it. It's a real page turner and I read it very quickly. The hero is a ginger 16 year old who wears very thick glasses and is overflowing in self-doubt. No he is not the stout hero you normally get but that only makes it more interesting and his journey far more enjoyable.

The author weaves a tale set in this world and also within the mind, where many horrors lurk. It is beautifully described, often in horrific detail.

I look forward to reading more from this author and maybe more set around the characters from this book.
