My novels
The Jake West Trilogy by M J Webb
Jake West - The Keeper of the Stones
Jake West - Warriors of the Heynai
Jake West – The Estian Alliance
The Jake West Trilogy is an epic fantasy adventure series which will have you laughing, crying and begging for more. Compared by some readers to the great author C S Lewis, M J Webb’s novels have been described as a cross between Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter. The story tells of two ordinary boys who unlock by accident a deadly secret which threatens to destroy us all. Hunted across worlds the teenagers escape to a fantasy land. There, our intrepid heroes will have to rely on each other and the alliances they make in order to survive against the overwhelming forces of evil who now seek their destruction. The exciting novels contain heroes in abundance, battles, wizards, dragons, spirits, warriors and beasts, the undead, prophecies... and just plain human guts and determination. There are strong themes of loyalty and friendship. These are books all parents will want their children to read and be inspired by.
‘The Estian Alliance is the spectacular conclusion to the Jake West trilogy which will take you on the ride of your life. This story is full of action, adventure and twists and turns that will keep you on the edge of your seat,’ said one reviewer. ‘A pleasure to read aloud to my sons, we were engrossed in the action from start to finish. The characters are extremely well written, and you WILL form an emotional attachment to them. They're so well crafted, they remain in your thoughts for a long time,’ said another.
The Jake West Trilogy – the most fun you’ll have had in a long time.

Wonderful Review
Just noticed this wonderful review on Amazon.com (US). Thrilled beyond measure. :-)
I enjoyed the first birth, I bought it after seeing on face book under a free ebook that he just finished it, so I bought it and loved every bit!
Second book I had to wait for and the anticipation was worth it.
The third book was so enjoyable and it was everything you would want in a good book. I will read them again. This is a book about friendship and doing for others with great adventures to enjoy along the way.
This is a must read for Adults or Young Adults.
My kids would not read it and said it did not spark their interest, I think... how could it not spark your interest. There is not one part of all the books that I did not think should be there or inappropriate. I leave this series thankful I had the adventure and hoping Mr Webb has only just begun his writing.

Great review
VERY relieved and happy to have received a review today ! YEY !
'I have been following the series since the first book, Jake West Keeper of the Stones. This is a trilogy concerned with action, magic, war and friendship, and like the best of its genre has engaging and winsome characters. Jake, Ben, and Zephany make great role models for young adults and if you enjoyed the Harry Potter series, you will be thoroughly entertained by this book.
Overall JW: TES is well paced, thrilling, and full of incredible well-realised twists that will leave you very much on the edge of your seat. Catch up on the previous entries in the series before coming to this work, because although there is a prologue, it works most successfully as the conclusion to the trilogy.
Jake West is the Midland's greatest hero!!' :-)

Special review
So incredibly happy to receive a great new review today;
MJ Webb’s third title – Jake West – The Estian Alliance – has everything fans of epic fantasy will enjoy, no matter their age. Readers seeking action, danger and good guys, facing almost insurmountable odds against bitter evil, will find the challenges facing fifteen-year old Jake and his companions to be a great adventure. The odds are against them, but these fighters have heart, ingenuity and the fate of the world resting upon their shoulders.
Although reading the first two books of the trilogy – Jake West – The Keeper of the Stones and Jake West – The Warriors of the Heynai is advised, Webb provides a Prologue in Jake West – The Estian Alliance, allowing readers to be caught up with or refreshed on the unfolding plot. His writing flows smoothly through dangerous worlds, bringing engaging characters to life. Jake and his friends will have readers cheering as they deal with terrifying situations. Highly recommended for young adults, adults and anyone else who enjoys a fantastical thrill ride.

Reviews
Soooo pleased to receive a few new reviews and grateful for every reader who has taken the time to pen such wonderful reviews :-)
After reading Jake West - The Keeper of the Stones I began reading Jake West - Warriors of the Heynai immediately afterwards. The first book leaves you wanting more and I wasn't dissappointed, I got a whole load more. More characters, more intrigue, more suspense, more drama, more battles and more insight into a world not too dissimilar to ours that I now feel part of. I didn't want the book to end as I knew that I would need to read the third and final book to get all of my questions answered and I cannot wait for its release. Please hurry, the suspense is almost too much to take!!!!!
I began reading Jake West - The Keeper of the Stones on holiday. From the get go I couldn't put it down. I was immediately drawn into it as the characters come to life straight away and I felt that I was actually with them experiencing all that they were and had to keep reading to find out more. The use of the vivid descriptions of the characters in this world and the other, help to paint a colourful, three dimensional picture that you could imagine seeing on a big cinema screen. The story is full of mystery, humour, suspense, emotions, learnings and the age old battle of good versus evil. I am so pleased that I took the second book in this trilogy Jake West - Warriors of the Heynai on holiday too because as soon as I'd finished I began to read it without a moments hesitation. Jake West - The Keeper of the Stones is an excellent read for all age groups, all you need is a little imagination to make it come alive.
