J. B. Michaels

This just really didn't work for me - maybe because it's book 3, but I just am not involved with book in any way. Narrator okay, story okay, but just didn't work for me.

"The Order of St. Michael," by JB Michaels is a fun and quirky read. This action adventure for young adults has it all and basically stands in a category and genre of its own. There is adventure galore, including teleportation, crazy/evil scientists, werewolves, zombies, androids, kidnapping, poisoning and ancient blood-sacrificing cults. Bud and Maeve make a wonderful team and their banter as they traverse the globe, make for some fun and witty reading. I especially liked the tie-in to The Wolfman, with Llanwelly and Talbot Castle featuring in the plot.

This is a thrill ride from beginning to end, with nary a letup in between. From the opening pages to the final sentence, you're treated to a roller coaster ride of fun and frights. Don't miss this one.… (más)
