Attack of the Fiend by Joseph Delaney

"Things are certainly getting darker."

I really enjoy this series. The adventures of Tom and The Spook are fascinating. I love the idea of Tom being the apprentice for The Spook and learning the trade through experience. I also love the layers of witches - and that they all wear pointy shoes!

Alice is such a good addition to the story and I hope she stays around for a long time
Spoiler I need to remember the prophecy that Tibbs relayed: I see a girl, soon to be a woman. The girl who will share your life. She will love you, she will betray you, and finally she will die for you." Was this Mab?? or will this be Alice?!
We learn of the covens and families of the witches in the neighboring town and how they have been a danger that is growing and growing. The Spook was right a book or 2 ago when he said he needed to deal with the thread - it's bad now.

I was sad for some of the things that happened in the story (especially to those close to Tom) but I found the mark that Mab couldn't release the most fascinating! Go Alice! I will definitely read the next one!
