Wither's Legacy : A Wendy Ward Novel (Wendy Ward Novels)

Summary: Wither's Legacy keeps you on the edge of your seat!
Review: "Wither's Legacy" is the exciting third book of the Wendy Ward series. Usually by the time you reach the third book of a series, you're pretty sure which direction the characters will grow, and what paths their stories will take. I can honestly say that this isn't the case for this wonderfully written series. John Passarella has continued to treat us to an unpredictable story as we follow the growth of not only Wendy Ward, but also the rest of the cast.

The story opens with Wendy recovering from the tragedy which ended the second book, WITHER'S RAIN. We find her in Canada, staying with fellow Wiccan Tara while she recovers her balance. The fast paced story takes off from that wintery region, and speeds across the continent until we're back in Windale, Mass.- the home of the centuries-old Wither and the location of culmination of the curse Wither laid upon Wendy through the dying Gina Thorne.

John Passarella again proves that we need not make assumptions on his characters, as what we would assume most likely won't happen. Get ready for a fun, fast paced ride with Wendy as she confronts the curse invoked by Wither, and readies herself to face her future. What it holds in store for her, even she can't imagine.

Summary: Passarella has woven another chilling masterpiece ...
Review: After destroying Elizabeth Wither for a second time, supernaturally gifted teenager Wendy Ward finally believed this would be the last she would see of the ex-coven leader. She was right. But although she may have destroyed Wither physically, her legacy still continues in a bitter curse she placed upon Wendy in her final dying moments. A curse that has awoken a carnivorous yellowed eyed, seven foot beast that will stop at nothing until it tastes her sweet flesh between it ravenous fangs ...

Bram Stoker Award-winner John Passarella has done it again with his latest novel, 'Wither's Legacy', the third (and possibly final) chilling part to the critically-acclaimed Wendy Ward series.

Passarella has proved himself to be one of the most highly-gifted and enthusiastic writers in the industry, and Wither's Legacy is no exception of his unique writing perspective. His plotting, dialogue, and attention to detail are as fine-tuned as ever, as is his uncanny knack of drawing the reader in for more after every page. Passarella also shows an in-creased understanding of his characters within the novel, but doesn't spare any from his un-suspecting hit list.

For a chilling read this winter (or any time), 'Wither's Legacy' comes as highly recommended as you can get. A fine choice for any bookshelf.

Summary: Kudos! WITHER'S LEGACY
Review: I thought I was going to have some trouble getting into the groove of a new writer (finding the groove isn't so easy during the semester), but Passarella made it sooo easy. New distinctively horrifying creatures, natural human relationships in a slightly unnatural world, great visuals and scenery, and an abundance of catch your breath moments. An excellent storyteller who manages to keep the pages turning even while the chills creeping down your neck push you to put the book down. A series book that stands alone is always a bonus :)

Summary: Love this Series!
Review: Once again, John Passarella has outdone himself. I have loved the Wither series since the first book, and each one keeps getting better. We see less of Wither in this book, with a Wendigo following Wendy instead. Kayla is also back in black with some worries of her own, Hannah's character takes new shape, and even Alex is here - bound and determined for a little more action with Wendy. Read the book and see what I mean. You won't be dissappointed! I can't wait to read more.

Summary: Read this book, you'll be hooked on Passarella
Review: This book contains supernatural elements and is considered horror, but it doesn't contain so much gore and graphic detail as some books do. It still has a lot of suspense and suprises for the reader and Wendy. I really enjoyed reading about Wendy and the obstacles she faces in this novel. The author provides enough backstory for each character so that reading the first two novels isn't necessary to enjoy this book. I didn't get a chance to read them before, but I certainly will now, because I really enjoyed his writing style and the depth that he gives his characters. It's easy to become attached to them and hope they survive what's coming to visit.

Summary: Wendy and gang back again!!!!
Review: Wendy and other mainstays return in Mr. Passarella's third installment of the Wither (Wendy Ward) series. Wendy finds herself in Canada, and far away from Windale. Wither and the problems that she has caused keep plaguing Wendy. Back in Windale, her friend Kayla is plagued as well, thinking that she has Wither's blood in her and that she is doomed. Wendy and Alex get back together for the trip back to Windale. There is unfinished business there and a Wendigo is hot on their trail. They return to Windale for preparation. They recover Wither's journal and learn some valuable information from it, but it doesn't completely satisfy Kayla and her worries of her inevitable transformation. Their preparation is cut short when the Wendigo finds them in Windale. An exciting battle ensues with some old friends there to help the fight.

Yet another great read in this series. Mr. Passarella keeps you interested from the get go and doesn't stop. It seems that with each book he tops himself. I can't wait to read more from him.

Summary: Passarella's Best Yet
Review: Wither's Legacy is Passarella's best book yet! It is the third installment of a series (which he says he may continue - I'm definitely keeping my fingers crossed) and I would recommend you read the other 2 novels first (Wither and Wither's Rain). However, reading the other two novels is not necessary to understand this novel. Passarella artfully weaves in the back-story from the other novels without boring readers already familiar with it.

Wendy Ward, a powerful witch, has incurred great personal loss due to her conflicts with Wither, and evil being that corrupt humans. Thinking she has finally defeated Wither's evil for good, Wendy attempts to escape from her past. Little does she know that Wither has cursed her and an unknown evil being is coming to kill Wendy.

Wendy must now learn what this evil is while learning what Wither's ultimate plans had been for Wendy, Hannah, Abby and Kayla.

This book will keep you hooked until the very last page. I found myself reading this any chance I got - lunch breaks, after I got home clear through the time I reluctantly turned out the lights to go to sleep.
