Sunshine Over Hero by J. Steven Lamperti, the fifth installment in the Tales of Liamec, is for young adult fans of fantasy, adventure, and romance. Strange things happen in the town of Hero. Young girls go missing and return after some time with suspicious marks on their necks and without any recollections of what happened to them. Farmers find their sheep drained of blood. What if a vampire is hiding in the nearby forest? Raphael sees an announcement from the town and comes to their aid. Armed with a talking sword and with a fire imp named Iggy on his shoulder, Raphael is ready to fight the dark forces. A girl named Sunshine, or Sunny, helps him locate the monster with her magical pendant. But the monster hunt is a tricky business, and the paths in the forest can be deceptive. Will Raphael and Sunny find the monster's lair?
J. Steven Lamperti's Sunshine Over Hero is a clean and touching tale about duty, teamwork, friendship, and burgeoning romantic feelings. It will engage young adult readers in the fantasy and spark their interest in its ageless classic themes. A wider audience will appreciate an element of mystery and an unforeseen twist in the plot of this thrilling adventure. The narrative is clear and the plot is well constructed. The cast of meticulously crafted, intriguing characters makes me want to read the other books and the connected Channeler Trilogy. I am eager to learn more about Iggy, Raphael's loyal companion, who manages to be eloquent using only one word! The author has a humorous writing style in an overall appealing narrative. Lamperti invites us on a special quest, which may result in self-discovery. I highly recommend this spellbinding and thought-provoking story.
