About this deal

Luckily firm friends Darkus, Virginia and Bertolt have figured out that Lucretia Cutter is up to something and are determined to do whatever it takes to stop the evil beetle diva.

When Darkus, Virginia and Bertolt discover further evidence of her evil, they’re determined to stop her. Meanwhile Dr Bartholomew “Barty” Cuttle has recovered sufficiently from his ordeal as her kidnap victim to be introduced to the mountain of beetles who helped his son Darkus to rescue him. Umbra: Forgotten Nomad • REX REX REX is a half robot / half plant that uses HP to cast devastating skills from a distance. It seems there are further secrets to uncover, including a particularly grisly matter that will shock Darkus to the core. Darkus, his father, Uncle Markus, Virginia and Bertolt are out to thwart her ambitions before it’s too late.

These books are original, beautifully written and open up an entirely new world to the majority or readers. The story draws the reader further into the intriguing mystery; this is not a difficult book to read, but it is slower than “Beetle Boy”.

Umbra: Tired Veteran • Commando Commando The Commando is a jack-of-all-trades character that is reliable in all situations of the game. We re-join our unlikely trio of friends Darkus, Virginia and Bertolt, along with their beetle companions, for a fast-paced sequel jam-packed with adventure. G. Leonard’s book Beetle Boywas one of the liveliest, most original and enjoyable debuts of 2016, and the follow up will have fans waving their (figurative) feelers around in glee. Darkus' dad has forbidden them to investigate any further - and disgusting crooks Humphrey and Pickering are out of prison. G. Leonard I’m sure if you are reading this review then you’ll have already read the brilliant first instalment from M.I enjoyed the plot, the development of the characters that we knew from the Beetle Boy, my kids keep asking me to tell them the end of the story, and we really start to look at bugs in a new way. Void Fiend The Void Fiend is a corrupted survivor that fluctuates between a controlled and corrupted form, each with different strengths and weaknesses. This book especially gives Bertolt some time to shine as he tries to defend Beetle Mountain by himself. Lucretia's daughter Novak is still fighting the cause from the inside, but as far as she knows, Darkus is dead. Book one told of the brave and daring rescue of Bartholomew Cuttle, Darkus’s dad, from the evil grips of villainous fashionista Lucretia Cutter.

This sequel, Beetle Queen, moves the adventure and friendships on, as the three children, Darkus, Virginia and Bertolt, try to work out what Lucretia is up to whilst fending off unwanted parents and saving and /or capturing beetles, aided by Uncle Max . These books look set to be enjoyed by many and I’m sure it will leave countless young minds with a curiosity for beetles and inspire a new generation of Coleopterists! If you’ve always regarded beetles as something unpleasant to be chased away from picnics, then this romp of a mystery thriller may change your attitude . G. Leonard has continued an intriguing story; she allows the mystery of Lucretia’s intent to deepen.The Queen readies the attack for 2 seconds (scales with attack speed) and then shoots 6 acid balls that spread out in a 30° arc.

If the player cannot kill the summoned Beetle Guards quickly enough between respawns, the best course of action is to focus on the Beetle Queen and then clean up the Guards afterwards. The story also provides some great development for Novak, gradually revealing her surprising history as she spies on her mother. Ranged against her are our hero Darkus and his friends Virginia and Bertolt, together with their special allies – bugs, beetles and assorted insects. Hope rests on Novak, Lucretia's daughter and a Hollywood actress, but the beetle diva is always one scuttle ahead . It is inhabited primarily by the Voidling, the guard of the Planetarium or potentially the controller of the Void itself.

Like Roald Dahl’s capers, this story has an edge of desperation and darkness that makes its animal interactions and adventure all the more exciting. I assume we needed to stay connected to the pair of crooks because they'll be crucial in the final book in the trilogy but I'd have been happy to delete all of their scenes.
