Required Reading

Life is complicated enough without getting into hotwater with federal agencies so: TAKE NOTE Many things I review I received at no charge in exchange for an honest review. Consider this as informing you that ALL things I review may have been gotten at no charge. Realistically about 40% but in order to keep things above board just assume that I got the stuff free. I do not collect information on my readers. If cookies or other tracking stuff is used on my blogs it is due to BLOGGER not ME. Apparently the European Union's new rules state I need to inform you if cookies are being use. If they are it isn't byu me, consider yourself INFORMED.
Words like, “sponsored,” “promotion,” “paid ad” or even just “ad” are clear ways to disclose that you’re being paid to share information and links so BE AWARE that some of what I write can be described as an AD by the government. BTW I will NEVER say a product is great, super or even acceptable if it isn't, whether I got it free or NOT!

The Nethergrim by Matthew Jobin


This is billed as a YA book but I am pretty darn far away from that age and I really enjoyed it.   Jobin takes three teens and places them in a perilous situation and allows the reader to enjoy watching their personal growth.  

The Nethergrim is a world class boogieman defeated years ago.   When animals and children begin to disappear the locals of Moorvale begin to wonder the Nethergrim was actually killed.   .  Edmund, the main protagonist, is a dreamer and a reader in a village that admires neither.   He admires Katherine who is a strong, warrior like female and whose strong, warrior like traits are no more appreciated than his own dreaming and reading.   The third unlikely protagonist is Tom, a slave who is a good friend to Katherine and Edmund.  

When members of a group of child kidnapping bolgugs (goblin want-to-be) are slain by Katherine,  Edmund's unrequited love object, the village is roused to action.

The rest of the story is how the three friends rise to more than their aspirations to seek out the kidnapped kids and face the dreaded Nethergrim.

This is the first book in a series and very well done.

I highly recommend.

This book may have been received free of charge from a publisher or a publicist. That will NEVER have a bearing on my recommendations.
