The Well House II: The Revenge by MS Matassa is, as the title suggests, a sequel. However, it can be read as a standalone very easily due to the short synopsis at the start. It comprises a summing-up of Book 1, which ends intriguingly with “but that was about to change.” This is a reference to Ben Carson’s present peaceful life and the entrance of a frightened living object, the Orb, that signals trouble ahead. The battle between good and evil, where even Lucifer’s grip on one of his key followers is loosened by the power of love, is intense and fast-paced. The Carson extended family members are endearingly normal whilst the opposition, not all with a common purpose other than the triumph of evil, is uncompromisingly malevolent. Can Ben win against the menacing force of retribution or must he pay the ultimate price?
MS Matassa has created a flawless fantasy in The Well House II: The Revenge. The reader is instantly immersed in the plot. Ben and Anne’s family life is so ordinary. Anne reassures Ben that his terrifying experiences are dreams, and takes him on vacation. An encounter with a raven, another “form” of evil, causes them to return home, where teenager Molly has fallen in love with Liam. The dog, Sherman, as well-drawn as the rest of the characters, senses that Liam isn’t “right.” Where does Thelma, mother of the keeper of the Orb, fit in? “Evil walked the earth, and it was close.” The threads of good and evil are intricately entwined in The Well House II: The Revenge, weaving a tapestry that creates an incredibly dramatic fantasy.
