Chronicle During Books The Thirteen Hallows (Thirteen Hallows #1)

The Hallows. Ancient artifacts imbued with a primal and deadly power. But are they protectors of this world, or the keys to its destruction? A gruesome murder in London reveals a sinister plot to uncover a two-thousand-year-old secret. For decades, the Keepers guarded these Hallows, keping them safe, hidden, and apart from one another. But now the Keepers are being brutally murdered, their prizes stolen, the ancient objects bathed in their blood. Now, only a few remain. With her dying breath, one of the Keepers convinces Sarah Miller, a virtual stranger, to deliver her Hallow--a broken sword with devastating powers--to her nephew, Owen. The duo quickly become suspects in a series of murders as they are chased by both the police and the sadistic Dark Man and his nubile mistress. As Sarah and Owen search for the surviving Keepers, they unravel a deadly secret the Keepers were charged to protect. The mystery leads Sarah and Owen on a cat-and-mouse chase through England and Wales--and history itself--as they discover that the sword may be the only thing standing between the world... and a horror beyond imagining.

The magical objects number thirteen in all, and perform a function in keeping the demons locked away from humanity. The Guardians number thirteen as well although theyre being systematically destroyed, so the counts a few short. And one of

Thirteen Hallows is the start of a new dark urban fantasy series. While it did have problems, there is plenty here for readers to enjoy. Thirteen Hallows is filled with plenty of history, a unique English setting, two protagonists who are easy to follow through their adventures.

Good readThis was a good book and I enjoyed it. I enjoyed Michael Scott's other books as well. I look forward to reading more of this works.

I have to admit, the cover got me. The cool looking sword, the hazy Big Ben in the background, the shades of blue, it's just a great cover. I'm sorry to say the rest of the book didn't quite live up to it.For some reason I thought this would be YA, but that's far from the truth.

Lots of bloody rituals, sex, and more bloody rituals.Thirteen people, the keepers, charged with watching over the thirteen



I probably shouldnt have read this, considering how little time I had left to get through these library books. I probably should have skipped in favour of a book I was more confident I could enjoy.
