Trouble in the Forest #2

by Trystam Kith

Book 2

Trystam Kith made a bold debut with his first novel, Trouble in the Forest: A Cold Summer Night. Now, in the second book of the duology, the battle for good versus evil in Sherwood Forest is about to come to a head, with the good Sheriff of Nottingham caught right in the middle. Hugh deSteny knows the evil behind the trouble in the forest, and must find some way to stop it before it gains complete control and cuts the kingdom in half. His first attempt at destroying this evil is a daring ploy during the Fair of the Eve of All Saints. But those that stalk the woods at night are making plans of their own, and the Sheriff's and Prince John's plot results in disastrous consequences. Knowing that time is running out, deSteny realizes that he must risk his life and the lives of all those seeking to restore the sanctity of the forest in a race against time to beat the fiends that claim dominion over the forest at their own game.

[LeAnna · Rating 3 out of 5]

I greatly preferred this to the first book in this miniseries, but it’s definitely not as strong as Yarbro’s books. It’s an interesting take on the Robin Hood legend but there are too many unexplained pieces in the plot.

The sherif of Nottingham is looking for allies in his battle with the evil gang of vampires, causing the trouble in the forest of Sherwood!
He gets the help of mother Barnaby and Prince John, but that is not enough. He also needs the help of the old spirits of the forest!
These books are a curious mix of vampires, Robin Hood, fantasy and old legends!
And although sometimes the blood is floating from the pages, this was rather fun to read!
