Darkmouth
by Shane Hegarty
Really liked this. Picked it up in a Waterstones ages ago and the blurb looked interesting - got it on Kindle as it was just cheaper that way. Took me a while to get round to. Finn is the son of a Legend Hunter (in a long line of Legend Hunters) - Legends are what most would call monsters, like minotaurs, manticores and a few I think the author made up. They live in the Infested Side, but sometimes gateways open into our world, and they spill through into areas called Blighted Villages. This has mostly stopped barring Darkmouth, a village in Ireland.
Overall, very good. Humorous, good idea, well done. Sometimes this means they can try a little too hard or think themselves too funny (Derek Landy being a prime example), so that knocked it from 5* to 4* for me. Still a really good first in the series, will definitely check out book 2.
