The Viking's Apprentice & Book 2: The Master's Revenge by Kevin McLeod

*An Audiobook Review      I lucked out and found Kevin McLeod on Twitter, offering free audiobooks. I'd missed the deadline, but he was cool enough to pass them on anyway.  I love cool authors.  So Before I even get on with the review, I want to send a bit on these covers. 

     Candy! They're eye candy for me- aren't they tots-fabu?! The imagery, the detail, the total awesomeness is just what I love in book covers. Believe me when I say, both of these books would have been on my shelf, even if McLeod hadn't given the audio. They are what I love most in books... outside of the story. So, I'm raving 5-stars on cover work alone, but on to the actual stories, The Viking's Apprentice and The Viking's Apprentice: The Master's Revenge. Book 1: The Viking's Apprentice Book 2: The Master's Revenge      Peter and George were looking for adventure, but nothing like what they eventually found. Thanks to an age-old, special secret Granddad's been holding to, the boys were in for the time of their lives. Filled with trolls, witches, and the fierce of magic, they learned of a legend so amazing, so heroic, they dive right in.

     All I can say is that Campbell's Cove is very luck to have such dedicated people in their corner. The Viking's Apprentice is a story that takes you on the ride of any child's life. Full of danger, magic and swords, anything's possible. 

     My son and I loved the journey. The story wasn't too long and McLeod's gift of narration and description made this book a grand read. It also helped that Danielle Cohen was a really good narrator. 

     Check out The Viking's Apprentice, book one- available now and so worth the time.      Picking up where book one left off, we find the residents of Campbell's Cove picking up the pieces of the battle.  Memories wiped and a life lost, they're trying to find some normalcy, but evil hasn't completely vanished. Something is stirring...

      Granddad knows better than to let his guard down, but he's hoping he and the boys can resume an adventurous holiday. He's sadly mistaken. 

     The trolls have been sent to do a job and The Master will stop at nothing. This story is full of non-stop action. It literally does not stop; even when the ending hits, there's a promise of more to come. And there are dragons!

     Your kids will love the critters, the storyline and the adventure this book promises.  Just as good as the first book. The Viking's Apprentice: The Master's Revenge The Viking's Apprentice & The Viking's Apprentice: The Master's Revenge
