I've read all of G P Taylors books and I am yet to be disappointed. I wasn't too sure when I heard that his next book was a sequel of the brillant Shadowmancer because as a rule fo thumb sequels arent as good as the original but I was wrong. The usual inter-twining stories contionue to be effect and the two stories really work together. What made this book particular good was the introduction of English folklore. The story of black Shuck, the hellhound of East Anglia is clevely included as gives the book a greater feel of Victorian Britain. This is a much read for anyone who has enjoyed any of G P Taylor's books

I read a lot of reviews about JP Taylor's books being hard to understand and wound up in religious speak. I disagree with people that write reviews on this basis. His books are exicting and you feel that you are almost a part of the story line. Yes they can have a plot that is complex, you have to read with concentration, but this only makes you not want to put the book down.
I know that his books tend to be written for teenagers, I am not a teenager. There are only a handful of books that I have wanted to take a day off work to finish and The curse of Salamander Street is one of them.
I would recommend this book to anyone who likes a well written plot that will keep you entertained for hours. This book is magical in every way, but the fact that is intertwined with a religious aspect makes it even more believable.
For the people out there who think that GP Taylor writes most of his books with some religious facts, so what, it is what he is good at.
Keep up the good work.

If you enjoyed Shadowmancer then you will most certainly be enthralled by this latest offering from the pen of G.P. Taylor.
Apart from meeting old friends and adversaries, we now meet a plethora of new characters. Ghosts, Necromancers, Lycanthropes, Poltroons et al. The book is well paced and will grip you from chapter one. A dark novel indeed but one that also has a cautionary moral slant. My only criticism is that some of the chapter headings are written in Latin which may fox some readers particularly children. A glossary at the back of the novel maybe useful for reference purposes.
