This was a quick read for me, which I love. There is such a dark, magical, ominous tone to The Crowfield Demon that is sucks you into its suspenseful, fast-paced plot before you know it! We get a super creepy start with Robin, an increasingly odd and alarming boy Will’s age, which is only the beginning of a trail of chilling events that take place in this second book. I thought The Crowfield Curse was exceptional, and I am happy to announce that, for me at least, The Crowfield Demon was as great, if not better! It’s not natural…Ī heathen creature from a pagan past is, somehow, reemerging in the present and has its eyes set on destroying everything and everyone at the Abbey… including Will. When checking the chapel, many feel like they’re not alone, or they see a frightening being the size and shape of a man, but with a crow’s head. The stone faces of the saints break away before anything else.

Yet, an unexpected threat emerges – Crowfield Abbey has begun to crumble, and in terrifyingly strange ways. But now he knows he has the Sight, the ability to see beyond the mortal world into the realms of Old Magic, and he has a friend and protector in the warrior fay Shadlock and the little, faithful hob, Brother Walter. It’s any day now that he will be in peril again.

So as the spring begins to arrive, Will knows to keep his eyes open. And while uncovering all of this, he unfortunately was noticed by the Dark King of the Unseelie Court, Comnath. There are hobs, fay, curses, angels, and demons. Will spent the winter learning that there was a lot more to the world than he initially thought. I encourage you to avoid this review until you have read the first book. If you haven’t read The Crowfield Curse yet, check out my review of it this last Monday. The Crowfield Demon is a middlegrade/YA fantasy by Pat Walsh, and the sequel to The Crowfield Curse.
