The living and the dead seldom make good friends, but there are times when unlikely souls cross paths.Mortimer Drake struggles against loneliness and isolation that only an immortal vampire can feel. He’s torn apart from the ones he loves most, separated from them by an unknown void that only the dead may cross. Unless you know the secrets to opening the door between life and death. Edgar Flax knows that secret, and he’s come to Mortimer’s world with his strange new friends. They all seek to save the world from an uncertain future, but to save the future, they must attempt to change the past, and time cannot be altered without dark and deadly consequences.
Greg Wilkey has scored again with a marvelous mix of his two series. The vampire Mortimer and the necromancer Edward come together to try to save the worlds and their loved ones. If you enjoyed his previous books, you'll love this!!
Although a YA book, I liked this book very much. I know that it is smashing of two series, but I do not feel as though I should have read all the predecessors of both series before I read it. I was filled in on a need to know basis. It was a pleasure to read.
