Quite the introduction to a new series. I can saw up front that this series is very engaging and entertaining. The book has me amused from the very beginning with Jack's warning to all readers. So you easily feel like a part of the story. 
 Jack is your everyday teen. One day away from his 14th birthday and his whole life is about to go from ordinary to anything but. He meets some strange individuals and it attacked my a monster! Soon he hinds out he is wanted by the monsters (more officially known as the Creach) and now that he is "of age" all bets are off! 
 Few are who they seem to be. Teachers, family, and strangers all play vital roles in the 24 hours this book takes place in. That's right, by the way. This whole book takes place in approximately 24 hours! So even though it is short at just under 200 pages, it has a LOT going on! 
 Filled with action and adventure! This book is a great Young adult book that even some middle grades can enjoy. and what I liked is that it appeals to male readers, but can easily be enjoyed by females. That is very rare it seems nowadays. So I loved finding a book I can share with my younger brothers. 
 We get vampires, werewolves, zombies, harpies and more in this book. Jeff Gunhus really delivers us the monster race here! Luckily for Jack, he has some good, loyal friends. Although I wish I had been able to get a better feel for them. Sadly, the book was too short for that. Yet this book is more of a prelude of what is to come it seems. I look forward to continuing the series.
