The Last Apprentice: Curse of the Bane (Book 2)

By: Joseph Delaney

Narrated by: Christopher Evan Welch

Now it's the dark's turn to be afraid

The Spook and his apprentice, Thomas Ward, deal with the dark. Together they rid the county of witches, ghosts, and boggarts. But now there's some unfinished business to attend to in Priestown. Deep in the catacombs of the cathedral lurks a creature the Spook has never been able to defeat; a force so evil that the whole county is in danger of being corrupted by its powers. The Bane!

As Thomas and the Spook prepare for the battle of their lives, it becomes clear that the Bane isn't their only enemy. The Quisitor has arrived, searching for those who meddle with the dark so he can imprison them—or worse.

Can Thomas defeat the Bane on his own? Is his friend Alice guilty of witchcraft? And will the Spook be able to escape the Quisitor's clutches?

Intense fun

This was an intense and fun listen. The narrator was perfectly matched to the content and overall it was well-read.
Parental warning: With the "body-pressing" and some of the other graphically detailed descriptions in this book, I will be waiting a year or two to share it with my ten yr old daughter.

Love Joseph Delaney's books

awesome story that holds true to the test of time. very immersive even when you're not super invested or distracted. absolutely get lost in this world for years

Well written and narrated.

This was listed as a children's book but I don't think it is. The creep factor is high and there's a lot going on. I absolutely love the level of action and I think most paranormal fans will love this series. The main character is 13 but the things going on in the story are definitely adult situations. There's no sex or really any romantic moments so if you don't like sex breaks it's perfect for you.

Excellent reader

This series is wonderful for youth and adults as well. Excellent reader as well. Hope you enjoy it!

Stunning

It traps you into the story. Taking your imagination flying into every place the reader describes.
