This Is Not A Review (but please read anyway)

Harlo! Tis Maddie. Amelia and I wanted to apologize because we haven't been posting lately. Amelia has been on Vacay, and I have been really busy since schools almost over, I've had alot of competitions and stuff. So this post is just to tell you that we will not be posting until July 6 (about two weeks). Sorry about that, but we have some awesome things planned for the future!!!!!!!!!!!!

You shall not know the name unless you read on! Mwa ha ha!

Why, hello there. It's Maddie, here to introduce something new I'm starting on the blog. But before I do, I'm going to share the long story you don't care about, of how the name of these posts came to be. See, I wanted to write posts that weren't reviews, but still about books. At first I was going to call it Maddie is the most awesome person ever, but amelia said it was stupid. Then I was going to call it amelia is a meeny who is taking away my freedom of creativity, but I figured that one out on my own. So then I figured I would call just not give it a name (brilliant right?), before I came up with this name (duh, duh, duh!). It shall be called, Maddie ramblings! Should be fun to write, as well as read. Sometimes I might have lists, or even, guests! Well, I hope so. I'm also trying to get readers involved to! I'm working on getting the first post up soon! Yay!

Changes

Hey! Not sure if you noticed, but Amelia and I just changed the blog's name. It was originally bookaholics inc, but we changed inc to ink (get the pun?) So, even after the name changed, the address stayed bookaholicsinc.blogspot.com. We just changed it to boookaholicsink.blogspot.com, so if there is any confusion, sorry, and that is why.

Oh, and it's Maddie!

Hey guys, it's Maddie. I was reading another blog awhile ago, when bookaholics ink first started and we had like, 10 views. The blog was celebrating it's 1 millionth view, and I thought, we'll be lucky to even get to 1 hundred views. So, when I checked the stats again, I had to re-read it, to make sure it was right. We have only been blogging for about a month, and we have...
388 pageviews. You probably don't think that's alot, but to amelia and I, it means the world. So thank you, thank you, thank you, to all the people you followed us, or commented, or even just read our blog. You guys are truly awesome. Don't forget to comment, we absolutely adore hearing from you!

P.S. I know that I haven't posted a review in a while, because I was kind of stuck. But I recently visited the library and checked out, like, every book in the teen section. (which got me some weird looks, cuz I am only 11.) Anyway, that means I'll have some new post for you soon!

The Wardstone Chronicles/The Last Apprentice

Hey, It's Amelia.

You're probably expecting Maddie, right? I'm not the best at reviews, but I'm going to give it a shot. This is an actual legit review like Maddie's! So I hope you enjoy this, and comment if you like it because it would really help!

Here's the review...!

This is an originally British series written by Joseph Delaney (The slightly scary guy above.)

These books have 2 names. The Wardstone Chronicles are what British people would call the series, and the Last Apprentice is what us Canadians/Americans call it.

Here are the books listed in order from 1-9. The N.A. (North American) title is first, and the British title is second.

1. The Revenge of the Witch/The Spooks's Apprentice
2. The Curse of the Bane/The Spook's Curse
3. Night of the Soul-Stealer/The Spook's Secret
4. Attack of the Fiend/The Spook's Battle
5. Wrath of the Bloodeye/The Spook's Mistake
6. Clash of the Demons/The Spook's Sacrifice
7. Rise of the Huntress/ The Spook's Nightmare
8.  Rage of the Fallen/ The Spook's Destiny
9. (N/A) / I am Grimalkin

This book isn't filled with horses and stables (sorry Maddie.) It's so much better! (Uh oh, Maddie's going to hurt me, because I dissed her obsession.) Actually horses are boss, (That was for you David.) and awesome but I am here to review a book filled with things you will never see. No matter how much you beg your parents and steal money from the bank, you will never see the contents of this book in real life (well, except for a movie but that doesn't count.......)

Synopsis:
This series revolves around a young boy named Thomas J. Ward. (Obviously, he's the main character, in case you were wondering.) He is a seventh son of a seventh son. He is chosen to become the county's next Spook. His master, John Gregory is the present Spook, and he must train Tom. In each book, there is always a dark force that Tom and the Spook have to fight off. Sometimes they win, and sometimes they lose. (It's repetitive, but still very bloody. *cue maniacal laugh.*) There are so many twists and turns in this book, and something you don't expect always happens.

★★★★☆ (Rating) (I'm so awesome, I know how to use symbols)

I would actually rate this book 4/5 because if anyone knows anything about me, its that I love a good horror. (I also think taxidermy is cool, but that's not what I'm getting at.) The only thing is that sometimes the plot gets a bit boring. ( I do get bored very easily, so it may just be me...) I recommend that you try this book, and hopefully you will not be disappointed. Fair warning, it's got blood and very descriptive fighting scenes. (Yay!!!) I'm pretty sure that people who don't like blood shouldn't read this. I don't think a very young kid could/should read this because they're going to get scared and they probably couldn't understand the wording either. (Unless they're a crazy, bloodthirsty genius, like me!)
I recommend this book to people who are almost teenagers, and above. It's also one of those books where you should read it in order, because it would be harder to understand if you don't. I'm sure there isn't anything inappropriate in this book, so it is school safe. (Unless you act out the fighting scenes in front if your teacher, but only a true idiot would do that.)

To be honest, the British titles are actually very boring. It's always The Spook's _____ . (Maybe that's why I always get bored.) Except for the last one, which is called I am Grimalkin. I think  that the title 'The Wrath of the Bloodeye' sounds better than 'The Spook's Mistake.' (It's also more captivating. Look it up if you don't know what that means. I bet most of you are on an online dictionary right now.) It just sounds creepier, and the Bloodeye (monster) is actually a bit creepy.

The cover is a different story. The British covers are more ominous. (my opinion.) (I can tell you're going to need that dictionary, so keep it on a new tab, just in case.)  I can't describe the cover to you, so scroll down and think about which one looks better...........

 V.S.

 

Hopefully you take my advice and check out these horrifyingly amazing books. I'll be waiting for the 10th book so I can review on that. So for now.......

Read these books to satisfy your hunger for a good scare. (Yes, I'm talking to you Amelia.) Wait, I'm talking to myself........

Anyways, bye for now,
