Happy Sunday evening my lovelies, today I’m excited to be part of The Write Reads – Ultimate Blog Tour for a sequel to The Beast and the Bethany, Revenge of the Beast by Jack Meggitt-Phillips. Yesterday was my stop and huge apologies for missing out Dave, at the moment my reading is extremely slow with work and home but I have both books to read and I have heard so much about these books and how great they are.
So without further ado here is a little bit more about the book. Thank you to Dave and The Write Reads gang for sending my copy which I will be reviewing during the summer.

Lemony Snicket meets Roald Dahl in this riotously funny, deliciously macabre, and highly illustrated sequel to The Beast and the Bethany in which Bethany and Ebenezer try to turn over a new leaf, only to have someone—or something—thwart them at every turn.
Once upon a very badly behaved time, 511-year-old Ebenezer kept a beast in his attic. He would feed the beast all manner of objects and creatures and in return the beast would vomit him up expensive presents. But then the Bethany arrived.
Now notorious prankster Bethany, along with her new feathery friend Claudette, is determined that she and Ebenezer are going to de-beast their lives and Do Good. But Bethany finds that being a former prankster makes it hard to get taken on for voluntary work. And Ebenezer secretly misses the beast’s vomity gifts. And neither of them are all that sure what “good people” do anyway.
Then there’s Claudette, who’s not been feeling herself recently. Has she eaten something that has disagreed with her?
