Description

The edge-of-your-seat, monstrously-exciting, laugh-out-loud adventures of the most unfortunate monster-hunter ever to don armour… continue.
Things can’t get any worse. Legends are running riot. Half-hunters are out of control. Darkmouth has been taken away from Finn and Emmie, and Finn’s dad Hugo – proud Legend Hunter – is washing dogs for a living.

But something even more terrifying lurks beneath the surface: an ancient horror threatening both our world and the Infested Side.

So scratch that. Things can get worse. Much worse.

More than ever, Darkmouth is going to need a hero…

Sadly, all it’s got is Finn.

Critic Reviews

“"Hilarious and exciting. Terrifying and heart-stopping. Everything a great fantasy series should be. The next big thing is here." Eoin Colfer, author of Artemis Fowl "Hegarty writes surely, unpretentiously and amusingly, drawing up beguiling characters and constructing a plot which simply skips along. Great for primary school children studying myths and legends." The Times "Hegarty understands the importance of humour for young readers. One of the great pleasures of being scared is the release of laughter that comes afterwards, and Darkmouth is peppered with sly, gentle wit." The Irish Times "Believe the hype. The relationship between the young hero and his father is touching and real. There are touches of Ghostbusters, along with some Bond-like gadgets, plus a rather Dickensian setting (the mist-swirling town of Darkmouth). A stunning fantasy adventure." Sarah Webb”

“Hegarty writes with a light, engaging touch and his fast-paced fantasy adventure series is great for younger readers of 9+” The Independent IE
