Librarian Sebastian Rath is the only one who believes his friend Kelly O’Neil disappeared due to foul play. Let’s review and dig deeper into this amazing world where our heroes engage in an exciting battle with book spirits trying to escape the dungeon of their confinement.

Set in the same wild town Widdershins, Unhallowed follows the adventures of Archivist Sebastian Rath and his love interest Vesper Rune as they battle the unknown forces hellbent on destroying their precious town. I was hoping that we might get to meet Whyborne and Griffin and sorely was disappointed by their absence, yet Unhallowed managed to keep me from putting the book down. Unhallowed takes place eight years later after the final battle of Deosil.

Imagine my surprise when I chanced upon Jordan’s new spin-off series Unhallowed (Rath and Rune #1). I was totally devastated when the series drew to a conclusion with Deosil. I rarely remember quotes from the books I read, but this one will forever be etched in my psyche. “Widdershins knows its own, in blood and spirit, breath and bone.” What fascinated me the most about this series was the way, Jordan Hawk gave substance to a town and turned it into an entity with feelings as well as emotions. I’m a huge fan of his “Whyborne and Griffin Series”, where he created a town full of wonders and arcane lines that draw its people closer and keeps their enemies far away. Jordan L Hawk is one of those few authors who manage to create an alternate universe that leaves you spellbound and flummoxed.
