Adam and his father, the enigmatic Dr. Alfred Novello, arrive at the small city of Crofton, looking for a fresh start after the death of Adam's mother. But soon, Adam meets a troubled kid named Macs (pronounced Max), who drags Adam into a terrible nightmare of ancient evil.
To make matters worse, Adam and his new friend attract the attention of a vicious gang of bullies who call themselves "The Ghosts", and who want Adam dead!
With his father wallowing in his own grief, Adam and Macs have no one to turn to for help against the evil they are about to face, an evil that has been waiting for centuries to tear Crofton apart...
MY
RATING: 3 STARS
Beware
the Night is a YA-driven, horror novella perfect for tweens looking
to read something a bit on the scary side. The story is mysterious
and interesting and will keep the younger audience reading and
enjoying. The “monsters” in this story are unique, which is a
plus. I also felt the pacing of this story was on-point.
On
the technical side, there were a few problems, which is why I had to
give Beware the Night 3 stars instead of 4. There seemed to be some
occasional missing periods and misspellings (“fate” instead of
“fat”). I believe the dialog was a bit off-putting and could
have been a bit more realistic if more contractions would have been
used, especially within the dialog for Adam and Macs.
Overall,
I did find Beware the Night to be an interesting story that I enjoyed
reading. I could very well see tweens loving this story.
