Rise of the Huntress by Joseph Delaney

5.0

I like the US names of of these books over the UK versions, the only exception is book 9: it's Grimalkin the Witch Assassin in the US and I am Grimalkin in the UK (
Review:
4.5*

I hate how the Spook sees things in black and white, even right down to lighting a candle with magic being eeeevuuul. It seems to me it is the ultimate triumph against black magic, to use it for good deeds, like Alice does. She's saved Tom and the Spook countless times over so they could fight the dark another day. But does the Spook say thanks or even give a nod of acknowledgment? No, he chews her out. Not because it's against the laws of the universe to save a life, but because he didn't approve of her methods (which didn't hurt anyone in their place, by the way). He's turning into a grumpy old man. I wouldn't be surprised if he started firing a gun at future supplicants, screaming, "Get off my lawn!"

P.S. Can Tom stop getting kidnapped so much?
