BLURB:

Whyborne’s Endicott relatives have returned to collect on the promise he made to help them take back their ancestral manor from an evil cult. In exchange, they’ll give him the key to deciphering the Wisborg Codex, which Whyborne needs to learn how to stop the masters.

To that end, Whyborne, his husband Griffin, and their friends Iskander and Christine travel to a small island off the coast of Cornwall. But when they arrive at Balefire Manor, Whyborne must not only face the evil within the ancient mansion, but the painful truth about his own destiny.

REVIEW:

This is one of my favorite series. I love Whyborne and Griffin and their wild supernatural journeys. Book ten is no different. I loved it as usual.

In Balefire, Whyborne, Griffin, Christine and Iskander are off on a rescue mission to help the Endicotts. As you all probably remember if you’ve been reading the series, it wasn’t that long ago that there were members of that branch of Whyborne’s family that were trying to kill him. But things have changed over the last couple books and now the Endicotts desperately need Whyborne’s expertise, as well as help with the other side of Whyborne’s family, who are ancient enemies of the Endicotts. When Whyborne’s mother joins the party journeying to a remote part of Cornwall, it is hoped those ancient enemies might be able to help get the Endicott’s home back from the unknown parties that have seized it.

As with all of Ms. Hawk’s books, nothing is ever as it seems, and there is much more to the Endicott’s dilemma that anyone knows. The group members are all in for a wild ride. Ancient evil is alive and well on the remote island where the mansion stands. It will take all of Whyborne’s powers to combat it.

Enough spoilers. I thoroughly enjoyed this installment and highly recommend the entire series. I would not say that any of the books are necessarily standalones. I would recommend starting with book one and working your way through the entire series so that you understand who everyone is and all the background we’ve received in the previous nine books.

I’m sad to say that there was something about ‘the conclusion’ of the Whyborne and Griffin story being in the eleventh and final book. ☹

Pick up the series today and get reading if you haven’t already. If you’re up to date, grab this one. It won’t disappoint.
