   Passarella has woven another chilling masterpiece ...,   December 02, 2004
Reviewer: Chris Cudbertson from North Lincolnshire, England
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.

   The Third Wendy Ward Novel is Great Horror Thriller,   November 15, 2004
Reviewer: Joe S. Lee from Manchester, Missouri, United States
Wither's Legacy dives into the horror of the story when Wendy realizes that her battle with Wither is not over and Wither has left her a curse. And Wendy must prepare for some great evil she knows nothing about. It is a race against time and fear to try and defeat the Monster of Wither's Legacy. Wendy must gather all her strength and rely on her friends to help her hone her skills and be ready for what Wither throws at her. With Wendy and her friends' futures are uncertain, does Wendy stand a chance against this gruesome winter monster that is magically attracted to her? Who will Wendy lose because of Wither's curse? Even if you have not read these first two books, Passarella does not leave you out of the mix. He has a great way of weaving a story so that you will not be lost if you did not read the first two books. (Though I recommend you read them, because they are wonderful.) This is the longest book in the series and Passarella really gets into the characters and lays out their paths starting from the aftermath of the last book. He really has a way of bringing the characters to life and making you care about them. He really solidifies their relationships to each other and to us.

   Love the Wendy Ward Series!!,   November 15, 2004
Reviewer: Terri Locke from Geneva, Illinois, United States
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.

   SUPERB HORROR TITLE!,   October 19, 2004

Reviewer: Joe S. Lee from Manchester, Missouri, United States
While Wendy Ward's life has been anything but normal, she was hoping for a little peace and quiet. Elizabeth Wither and her coven have not let Wendy and the town of Windale get comfortable since the beginning when they plotted to take the bodies of Wendy, Abby, and Hannah. Wither has been a memory of this Massachusetts town for centuries, but the time had come for her and her coven to rise again. While that is the story of the first book (Wither), the second book (Wither's Rain) continues Wither's evil plans to get what she wants this time through the body of Gina Thorne. So Wendy must battle Wither in a new body that makes for a great action packed horror read. Even if you have not read these first two books, Passarella does not leave you out of the mix. He has a great way of weaving a story so that you will not be lost if you did not read the first two books. (Though I recommend you read them, because they are wonderful.)

With Wendy and her friendsÂ’ futures are uncertain, does Wendy stand a chance against this gruesome winter monster that is magically attracted to her? Who will Wendy lose because of Wither's curse? Just in time for Halloween reading, the release of this new segment in the horror series of Wendy Ward will be a bone chilling good time. Pick it up and you know you want to get the first two as well. And get ready to get scared.

   Great read,   October 14, 2004
Reviewer: Sallie Morrow from New Jersey, United States
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's horror lite ;) 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.

   Passarella spins another masterpiece!,   October 04, 2004
Reviewer: Blake Tullo from Michigan, United States
"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.
