Death comes calling...


AUTHOR: MacHale, D. J.
TITLE: Morpheus Road: The Light

Fans of MacHale will rejoice in this new series. With a much darker tone than that of the Pendragon books, the Morpheus Road tells of a boy named Marshall, a nerdy boy with very few friends. When his best friend is caught trying to sell counterfeit tickets, his punishment is an entire summer up in a cabin in the woods. Marshall soon realizes that his summer has just taken a turn for the worse and he has no idea just how bad it will get. Something is very wrong, in truth this typical teen that has just unleashed a very dangerous monster and that now his best friend is missing.
Full of the macabre, this novel is truly creepy with strange and mysterious occurrences attempting to help and harm our young protagonist around every corner. MacHale will have readers guessing what is real and what is imagined, but most importantly what is going to happen next. The characters are all extremely well drawn and immediately the readers are drawn in to Marshall’s situation.
Adults play a secondary cast to the happenings revolving around Marshall, and his unwilling partner his best friend’s super hot and insanely popular sister Sydney, yet the plot line is believable enough to keep you wanting more. This is the first book in an anticipated trilogy
