Overworld Chronicles #8
Sinister Seraphim of Mine
WAR AGAINST ANGELS IS HELL
Daelissa's army is on the move and gathering force. With Synod forces, vampires, the Exorcists, mercenary battle mages, the Blue Cloak army of the Arcanes, and the insidious Nazdal at her back, Team Evil looks unstoppable. Their new head strategist, Luna, seems to outthink Justin's forces at every move. To make matters worse, the insane Seraphim has even come up with a way to revive husked Seraphim with arctech developed from one of her former minions, Maulin Kassus.
Seeing no other way out, Justin enlists the help of Jeremiah Conroy and frees Kassus from prison. But Kassus is difficult to control, and Jeremiah is so obsessed with vengeance, the duo may do more to cripple Team Good than help it.
Desperate to raise more numbers, Justin hatches an idea to steal husked Seraphim from Daelissa so they can build a Darkling army of their own, but time is quickly running out.

Disclaimer: I am one of John Corwin's beta readers, not for any reason other than I love his books.
Justin has really grown through the series from a shiny high-school student to a reluctant leader in a battle to save earth. Justin's band of Supers (supernatural beings) keeps growing even though the alliances are very unlikely. But will it be enough to stop the evil Seraphim force that threatens earth. What Justin really wants is to bring his family together and spend time with his girlfriend and friends. Daelissa has other plans.

This is the Eight book in the Overworld Chronicles
Another fantastic addition to this series the action is off the chain the family drama is crazy and hilarious at the same time . Just is really coming into his own I'm starting to take shine to Ivy and of course Elyssa his one of the best leading lady's I've ever read . This books get better and better with each new book and Moses no not Moses RIP despite how his character was presented in the earlier book I really grew to like Jeremiah /Moses I'm so ready for the next book .

Wow
What can I say without giving anything away. I love these characters, and with Justin manifesting all his powers, now he just has to learn how and when to use the different types. Go team Justin! Aka the good guys.

Still enjoying this series, but have to say it's starting to loose it's lack luster with me. I have the next couple of books on audio, but will probably just do the kindle unlimited with the rest. It was worth the $90 I spent on audiobooks, but time to cut the costs.

Master of intricacy
I am so amazed at how he works at so many different levels, keeping track of hundreds of factoids that combine to make an amazing reality that never ceases to satisfy

Another great one for this series
Justin and friends are family now and I don't know what I will do when it's over. Hopefully it never will be!

Dealissa's army is larger and much better supplied with magic users and weapons. Justin is frustrated because no matter what move they make Dealissa's strategist Luna is always one to two steps ahead of them. Alyssa and the Templars are at half strength due to the split and they are in much need of allies. Justin decides to work with Jeremiah Conroy and frees Kassus from prison for information. John and Elyssa discover Jeremiah's secret that he is infect Moses one of the first of earths magic users. The only problem with Jeremiah/Moses is that he is obsessed with vengeance against Dealissa for the death of his beloved wife and in his quest he has allowed Dealissa to become as strong as she has even though he has had plenty of opportunities to kill her over the many years. With the discovery of a facility where they are reviving husks to fight in the war Justin and Alyssa armed with the knowledge of blocking statues placed around the facility they sneak in to steal the technology and revived Darklings. Another great piece of the on going saga.

This book continues the narrative of the Overworld as sides are drawn and inevitable conflict begins.
The novel continues everything from where we left off and the pace of the story jumps us right into the conflict against Daelissa. Unfortunately it never really stops after that point. The series keeps accelerating. I feel as if Justin and all our main characters haven't had any time to consolidate and adapt to all the changes that are happening. I understand that is part of what is driving the plot but so many different plot threads now exist and the last few books have done very little to help pair them down.
I can't wait for the next novel and see what happens now that the war has been joined.

Best book of the series so far. I couldn't put it down. I really like where the author is going with the series, and the character interaction never gets old. I love all the movie references to princess bride!!!

These series just keeps going and going but you know what? I don't care. That's how good it is. I'm really hopeful there's another book on the horizon 'cause I really want to know what happens next. Excellent series!

even better than the last
This series just gets better and better. Justin is one of my favorite characters in any series I have read. He is always making things interesting and the love he shows for his family and friends is something to behold.

This novel was a lot better than the last one! While there were still flaws and numerous things I didn't like it was suprisingly good.
Gives me hope for the last 2 novels.

WOW!!!! Really good....this book i think falls into one of my faves for this series so far! It was high action, intense, engaging, and very entertaining from beginning to end. I am really enjoying being in this world with all of these characters... some are my favorites... some I love to hate... a few I am growing to really like a lot as they continue to grow & develop. John Corwin has done a great job creating this world. I will be reading the next one soon!
