When I looked down, all I could see was a pair of red eyes glaring up at me out of the darkness 
 When the Spook comes to Tom's house to ask him to be his apprentice, Tom little knows what kind of job or some consequences that he will faces. No one likes to be around the Spook after some of his previous apprentices failed to stay alive. Moreover, Thomas J Ward is the only one left. He is the only last hope and the last apprentice. 
 I never thought that I would enjoy this book so much. The writing style was great, and the characters were so charming and engaging. Unfortunately, there was a load of things that the author not yet telling the reader about some of the characters, e.g. Tom's mysterious mum named Lamia (She was a fascinating character in the story), The Spook past life, Tom's other brothers and Alice. I want to know more about them. 
 I highly recommend this book to everyone who likes reading fantasy and middle-grade book.
