This book is by one of my favourite authors in one of my favourite series! Do not be put off by the cover, which makes the book appear a bit girly - this book is full of action and not girly at all.
This new book in the amazing Darcie Lock series by Julia Golding is just as, if not more, exciting than the other installments in the series. I loved the previous books, so I immediatly knew this was going to be great - and it didn't dissapoint me.
I was gripped by this book from the beginning, and I was desperate to find out what would happen at the end, reading it as fast as possible - only for it to end on a massive cliffhanger! It was action packed, unpredictable and exciting, while still being realistic and beliveable. This definatly added to how good it was, as many books in the same genre can be quite unrealistic. Despite the action, the book didn't get confusing at all and it was easy to follow and understand what was happening.
The characters were also great, and by the end of the book I felt like I actually knew them - all through the book I felt happy, sad or shocked along with them!
Overall this book was fabulous. I would seriously reccomend this book to people who enjoy reading action books - I'm so suprised this series isn't more popular! Definatly try to read the first and second books before this one as it will make the book easier to understand. I think a fourth book in the series would be amazing - especially to find out what happens after the cliffhanger - so fingers crossed!
Rating: 5/5

Brilliant review! I love action books (I've read a lot of the Alex Rider novels and all of the Gallagher Girls books - they're fab)! This book looks really good, thanks for sharing! It's always so frustrating when you read an amazing book or series and not many people know about it!

Hi! I have added a follower button, well I think it's a follower button xD it's the icon that says 'join this site' at the side of the page which I clicked on to follow others so it must be the right thing.
DeleteI love action too! I have read the Gallagher Girls and starting reading the Alex Rider books. I wasn't too keen on Gallagher Girls but have enjoyed the first Alex Rider book :). If you don't want to buy this book, I highly reccomend the others in the series (Ringmaster and Empty Quarter) which you can get at a book shop or library :).
Nice going reviews.

I have loved this series and re-read it so many times. I really hope that a fourth book is written because I really want to find out what happens after the cliff hanger and continue enjoying this series. Actually I think that it is impossible for there to not be a fourth book because the end of deadlock is the beginning of a new story that links in with the previous one.
ReplyDeleteDoes anybody know when the fourth book is coming out? I can't wait!! I love this series soo much and reading them just makes me happy and peaceful.
