A blockbuster of a novel

After destroying Elizabeth Wither for a second time, supernaturally gifted teenager Wendy Ward finally believed this would be the last she would see of the ex-coven leader. She was right. But although she may have destroyed Wither physically, her legacy still continues in a bitter curse she placed upon Wendy in her final dying moments. A curse that has awoken a carnivorous yellowed eyed, seven foot beast that will stop at nothing until it tastes her sweet flesh between it ravenous fangs ... Bram Stoker Award-winner John Passarella has done it again with his latest novel, 'Wither's Legacy', the third (and possibly final) chilling part to the critically-acclaimed Wendy Ward series. Passarella has already proven himself a gifted storyteller with `Wither' and `Wither's Rain', and `Wither's Legacy' is no exception. His plotting, dialogue, and attention to detail are as accurate as ever, drawing the reader in for more after every page. You also can't help but feel that the author's understanding of his characters is as strong as ever, but that still doesn't stop him from killing who he wants, and when. For a chilling read this winter (or any time), 'Wither's Legacy' comes as highly recommended as you can get. A fine choice for any bookshelf.

Wendy does it again!

Wendy is back an her powers are growing! John Passarella continues the saga of Wendy Ward in this well written and fast paced sequel. I couldn't put the book down!!!

SUPERB ENDING TO A GREAT TRILOGY!

A WONDERFUL BOOK! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! THIS SERIES HAS KEPT THE LIGHTS ON AT NIGHT FOR ME! VERY SPOOKY VERY NAIL BITING! I TRULY RECOMMEND THIS TRILOGY TO ANY FAN OF THE HORROR GENRE!

Love this Series!

Once again, John Passarella has outdone himself. I have loved the Wither series since the first book, and each one keeps getting better. We see less of Wither in this book, with a Wendigo following Wendy instead. Kayla is also back in black with some worries of her own, Hannah's character takes new shape, and even Alex is here - bound and determined for a little more action with Wendy. Read the book and see what I mean. You won't be dissappointed! I can't wait to read more.

You may never sleep again...

There was an ancient evil formerly known as Elizabeth Wither, an evil that had existed in dozens of human hosts over the thousands of years of its existence. Wendy Ward destroyed Wither and thought the evil was defeated. She was wrong. As Wither died she cursed Wendy and now the young Wiccan must use her supernatural gifts to defeat it. The curse calls upon a seven-foot-tall monster with razor-sharp teeth and a taste for human flesh. An enchantment camouflages the beast so it looks human. It views a magical line, like a rope, that leads straight to Wendy no matter where she roams. Once it kills Wendy it will be free. Its hunt begins. Wendy is aided by Alex (her boyfriend), the Crone (Hannah's future self), ten-year-old Abby (who is a shapeshifter), and Kayla (who is still contaminated with Wither's black blood). Wendy must learn more magic and quickly. The creature is closing in and time is running out. ***** Books by John Passarella make it very difficult to sleep at night. If you have an over active imagination, you may never sleep again! This one will chill you to the very marrow of your bones. Excellent! ***** Reviewed by Detra Fitch of Huntress Reviews.
