Tom, the Spook's Apprentice is currently the best apprentice John Gregory ever had. However, there comes a time to learn something new. And then in comes fellow Spook Bill Arkwright. Using all of his strength and some skill Gregory teached him, he sets off to train with Arkwright. All is going well until Arkwright gets drunk, which led to him being captured by Morwena, the daughter of Satan himself. Can Tom, Alice and the Spook save Arkwright before its too late?Tom is now 14 and he starts a 6 month development period with a different Spook - a previous apprentice of Mr Gregory. The new Spook does things quite differently and works with different types of witches so Tom has a lot to learn.There are also some interesting character developments and it is all set up for book 6.

As we continue the series, he is exposed to more witches and things that creep in the night. The boy can barely sleep or eat (always fasting), as each new battle comes as the fiend sets his sights on him.But now he is 14 and edging towards 15. It's good to read his growth and see the things he's learned. There was also growth in
This is the fifth book in the Spook's Apprentice series and it is just as fantastic as the previous books have been. I am impressed that these books have continued on with such great story telling over this series.In this book Tom Ward leaves Gregory to serve 6 months under a different spook; the new spook is harsh in his methods but endeavors to teach Tom more fighting to toughen him up. During the stay though Tom finds himself again being hunted by the Fiend and his children. Most notably
Got me again! Couldn't put this book down and had it finished in a day!!!
