Evil Star starts off mere weeks after Raven’s Gate ended. Matt is the protagonist yet again and you follow him on a journey to Peru as he tries to stop the opening of the second gate.

The book is steeped in Incan mythology and yet again the story is extremely fast moving and highly imaginative. While Raven’s Gate was set entirely in England, the foreign and exotic setting of Evil Star is really interesting. The idea that the ancient Incans still walk the Earth is fantastic.

I wish I could say more but I am trying to rein myself in and not give away spoilers. The book is a real page turner and you are introduced to the second of the Five, a young Incan boy called Pedro.

Written for younger readers but still entertaining. Parts are creepy. I like the first one better.
