The Coven of Deeds

 "A splendid fantasy and adventure book"


My Review

I really enjoyed this fantasy and adventure story very much. It was 
written very well, it had a great plot and good, strong characters. 

I liked the layout and the cover painting as well! 

I recommend this book to all young adult readers who like a
fantastic story with lots of tension.

Of course, I'd like to give a 5 star rating for this splendid book. 



Author


The accidental author - Malcolm started writing in response to his 8
year old daughter's request when he was making up bedtime stories
about dragons and other magical adventures one night.
"You have to write that one down daddy!" Maya insisted.
Maya then provided illustrations and ideas for the book which
incorporates a number of characters based on her close friends and
family. The book won the YA category in the 2017 Purple
dragonfly book awards.


Booktasters


I absolutely want to thank Booktasters and the author for providing
me a free copy in return of my honest review which I did.

Hare Halfway and the Book of Everything

"super relatable story"

👉 Hare Halfway and the Book of Everything is also written in Dutch
under the title: Haas Halfweg en het Boek van Alles. 



My review

Hare Halfway and the Book of Everything is a wonderful, super relatable
story. It was written very clear and fluently. Meanwhile it let you think and 
I absolutely wanted to know how the story ended. 

The paintings and the cover page were created by Evelien van Landeghem.
I enjoyed it very much.

Anyway, Hare Halfway and the Book of Everything is amazingly written 
and can be read by all of us.

Without any doubt, I give a 5 star rating for this wonderful book!

The author


Hare Halfway and the Book of Everything was written by Marc Terreur, 
which is a colleague of mine. Nevertheless this hasn't influenced my opinion.

Besides writing, Marc Terreur is a Belgian luthier and guitar tech with a
solid reputation built on three decades of experience and dedication.
He has clients from Belgium and the Netherlands, but also from Canada
and the USA. His custom-built guitars have received highly praised reviews.

In the 1990s, he was a freelance contributor to the Belgian music
magazines Stage and MeetMusic. In this capacity, he wrote instrument
and amp reviews and did a series on acoustics (the science).

Apart from the above, Marc Terreur is also a musician, a songwriter,
and ... a writer of children's books. Get to know Hare Halfway and
Bookie Bear, and soon also Flory Nightingale—maybe even
Little Verity Firefly.



Hare Halfway and the Book of Everything is available on Amazon.
It contains 45 pages.
