Boone and Jacque:
Saddleton Haunting by AG Flitcher is the third book in the series and an
engaging urban fantasy with interesting and lovable characters. In the first
book of the series, Boone and Jacque tumbled upon the dark secrets of Saddleton
and navigated a dangerous world filled with secret societies, the resurgence of
old conflicts, and old enemies. In the second book, they found themselves cast
away and facing dangers to get home to a world they barely know and under
serious threat. In this third installment, the haunted town is yet to face one
of its biggest threats — a strange and mysterious being hovers over Saddleton
and the scales of power are being disrupted. It is left to Boone, Jacque, and
Shammy to restore peace and the balance of power to this little town that is
fast spiraling out of control and under the grip of nefarious powers.
AG Flitcher is a great storyteller and his work is hugely
imaginative. The plot features strong points with a conflict that brings
together unusual creatures as well as dark powers that stir the air in
Saddleton. I enjoyed the way the author writes about the orphanage in this
city, bringing to life characters that are real and complex and a situation
that is grimly amusing. The bond between the key characters develops at a great
pace and readers will enjoy the distinctive traits of these young characters and
heroes of Saddleton. The world-building is fascinating and stunningly imagined
—a dreamlike world that completely absorbs readers with its unique features and
creatures. The descriptions are terrific, and even from the very first page,
the author shows readers that he has the remarkable ability to conjure
powerful, even disturbing images, in their minds: '... the staircase
leading into the basement of one of the remaining disheveled homes creaked and
splintered as Dontin stepped down.' This uncanny ability to create strong
imagery combines with the author's unique gift for humor to create a
spellbinding narrative. The humor grips the reader right off the bat as they
encounter eccentric characters. The sparkling prose elevates the level of
entertainment and the sophistication in character makes the story an exciting
one to read. I am gearing up for the third book in the series.
