Wereworld: Nest of Serpents (Book 4) [Paperback]

I was super excited when I realised that there was a new book in the Wereworld series out. After having been left on a cliffhanger at the end of the fourth book, I was eager to pick this one up and start it straight away.

The first part re-introduces the reader to all the characters and picks up the thread of their stories. Hector, Drew, Whitley and Gretchen, alolng with Drew's brother Trent are scattered throughout Lyssia. Drew is helping the Staglords defend themselves against the Werelion Prince Lucas, whilst Gretchen and Whitley are headed for Brackenholme and safety. As the story progresses, an old foe returns to put everyone's lives in danger.

As I've read each book in this series, I've been continually impressed and amazed at the sheer scale and scope of the story and the Wereworld universe. There's now a huge cast of interesting characters with new faces appearing all the time. The only problem is keeping track of all of their names! Sometimes I have to check back to make sure I remember who someone is correctly.

I've always made no secret of my love of Hector, the Boarlord. He's made quite a transformation from the beginning of the series and at times he seems quite unrecognisable from the person that Drew first met. Without giving anything away, because my lips are firmly sealed, I'm starting to worry that he may finally be beyond redemption. I'm not sure if there is any way back for him now. However, there's always hope and I truly believe that although he's done some terrible things, beneath it all is still a heart of gold.

I also enjoyed getting to see more of Drew's brother Trent who is now repentant about his actions towards his brother and wishes to put things right. I think there may be a possible romance on the cards between him and another character but I'll have to wait and see. Gradually all the characters are being drawn back together and I'm looking forward to finally seeing them all reunited.

Even though Jobling is now on book five, the writing remains wonderfully vivid and the story gets even more engaging with each new instalment. There are some amazing battle scenes which are brutal, bloody and no holds barred and there's plenty of action and adventure to satisfy readers. There's a fast and furious pace to the story and I didn't want to put the book down for a single second.

There's an epic quality about this series which I love and I can only hope that Jobling writes fast because I want more now!

Just a quick note about the cover of the book. The cover art for the series has been redesigned and published with a whole new look. I have to say that I preferred the old one and not only because I like all my books in a set to match.

This book is action packed a lot of twist and turns . Loyalty is something that changes quite that often.

I've fallen in love with this series and hope it never end but the war in Lyssia won't last forever.
With the supporters of the Wolves taking a beating from every corner and more troops arriving across the ocean from Bast things certainly look bleak.

Drew Ferran a.k.a the future king is trying to lend his aid to all his supporters but he's only one Lycanthrope and now disabled after his capture in Cape Gala. The beasts of Bast march on to suppress Lyssia while the Cannibal Wylderman have Brackenholm in their sights after news Lord Berghan is missing.

The story is told from the different view points of Drews friends giving a full picture of the trials of war, love and friendship. Characters in the same situation write from their perspective which is really unique and you can see where loyalties truly lie.

Cover art for US and UK is compelling and drew me into the series. No editing errors that I noticed and the dialogue had a good flow with it switching with the dialects of the characters.

A great read for all ages. Can't wait for the next installment!
