As for the plot, after the origin story that was ''Bitter Sixteen'', Mohamed turns things quite dark here. The humour and optimism remains, but the stakes are upped hugely, with villains on every corner and, yet again, a plot that soars like an Indie superhero blockbuster, defying expectations and entertaining on every single page. Stanly is not just the hero we need, he's the one we deserve. The writing is brilliant, the characters vivid, and this series continues to be a definite one to watch, given that Mohamed has created another page turner jam packed with action, imagination, intelligence, emotion, humour, and a talking dog! I couldn't ask for more out of a book.
Many thanks to the publishers for the copy, and for further reading I'm going to be really rather predictable, and recommend the first in the series – [[Bitter Sixteen by Stefan Mohamed|Bitter Sixteen]]. Every hero needs an origin tale. But can you get better than an origin tale with a talking dog? Thought not… We also have a review of [[Stanly's Ghost: Book 3 (The Bitter Sixteen Trilogy) by Stefan Mohamed|book three of the trilogy]].
