Detailed Review: Once again, struck speechless. Nothing I can say will convey how asd;flkajsf;kosi AMAZING The Foul and The Fallen is, except that it is way more awesome than the first two books in the series.
The story starts off from where it ended in the second book. Xanthus, has until the Ferret Festival until he completely turns to stone. Meanwhile, the creature most foul is ravaging Huron. But then, the twist happens. THE TWIST. THE TWIST THAT CHANGES EVERYTHING.
WHO CAN THINK OF SUCH A GOOD STORY? This author, obviously. And he isn't human. He could be a Merrow impersonating as a human. This book is certainly for Harry Potter fans and you find that you can't stop reading, not until you reach the last page, because you're dying to know what happens next. It just amazes me how Kevin manages to keep the transition from one event to another so smooth and without delay or hesitation.
As for the characters, there is a bit of romance in between Nikolas and Helen Wendell and I really can't wait to find out how they progress. As for Tim, I STILL don't like him. Not even bribes will get me to say that I like him. So don't bother trying.
Maybe what the author shouldn't have done though, is to leave the huge gaping CLIFFHANGER in the book. But I will wait. It is worth it. But if the ending in the last book of the series is HORRIBLE, I swear I will die of a heart attack.
Brief Review: I really enjoyed this book! It's just so AMAZING how the author's mind can produce such a story. It's just astounding... But like I said, he's not human.
Final Rating: 5/5 'Totally Amazing!'

Xanthus
Wow this is an excellent series. Book 3 continues the story of Books 1 and 2. Can this has been infected and will become a Gorgon if a cure is not found. They kids overcame insurmountable odds. They fought mythological creatures. The kids followed the clues they were given. They solved it just as Xanthus was turning. Did Xanthus get the cure in time? Only time will tell. I hope there's a Book 4 because the story doesn't end here. This is an excellent series / book for all ages.

Well, this was a galloping adventure through the city of Huron, all in an effort to save Xanthus from turning into a Gorgon. I don't want to say anything about what happens to Nikolas and his crew of friends because I don't want to give anything away. All I can tell you is I'm ready for the final episode and don't want to have to wait until November.
My best advice... Get all four books and read them back to back!

Ack! Cliffhanger! I very much enjoyed this latest installment in the Nikolas and Company series by Kevin McGill. The thrill of the adventure is engaging and the plot flies swiftly along taking the reader to some pretty wondrous places. The end did leave a pretty substantial cliffhanger, so now I must wait for the next. Looking forward to it!

I enjoyed this imaginative story. It has a lot of action via magic and monsters.
It's an interesting sci-fi setting with creative characters.
I recommend the entire series to whomever enjoys fantasy science fiction.
