Nightmares in Paradise: Ring of Solomon (Ring of Solomon #2)
Par Aden Polydoros. 2024
Zach Darlington saved the world and hardly anyone knows about it. Aside from his best friend, Sandra; his annoying little…
sister, Naomi; and his friend Ash (who, by the way, is the King of Demons). Somehow, they&’ve all managed to keep last summer&’s fights against the Behemoth, the Leviathan, and the evil Knights of Apocalypse cult a secret for almost a whole year. Zach and Sandra have their hands full practicing with the archangel Uriel&’s flaming sword (in case they ever need to fight monsters again), dodging bully Jeffrey and his sidekicks at school, and doing typical seventh-grade things like homework and watching their favorite horror movies. But when Naomi starts blabbing their secrets—and then disappears during their family&’s Passover seder—Zach&’s parents are worried and mad. At Zach! Since the sword went missing along with Naomi, Ash is sure that Uriel is to blame. Which means that Zach, Sandra, and Ash are off to Eden—the actual Garden of Eden—to save Naomi and bring her home. The Garden is no paradise. It&’s full of scary angels, monsters, and tricksters ready to lay traps, not to mention the Knights of Apocalypse, who still hold a grudge against Zach for interfering with their apocalypse plans last summer. Can Zach make it through the overgrown, dangerous Garden to save his sister and bring her home? And will he still be grounded for life if he does?No one said being a seventh-grade hero was going to be easy.Hearts Still Beating
