A review by nicholemurphy
The Dreadful Tale of Prosper Redding by Alexandra Bracken

3.0

3.5 What a perfect read for October! The Dreadful Tale of Prosper Redding tells the story of Prosperity Oceanus Redding, but please call him Prosper, when he finds out that his family made a deal with a demon, or what they refer to as a fiend, to secure success for all present and future generations of the Redding family. Unfortunately for Prosper, his ancestors never intended to pay the price for their luck, and Prosper now has to deal with the consequences of a fiend living in his body. We follow Prosper with the help from some outcasted family members as they try to find a away to sever himself from his unwelcome visitors. Since I live in the South, Fall never makes an appearance in the month of October so I appreciated the atmosphere the book created in the first few chapters. I really enjoyed the ending of this book and will definitely continue with the series.
