About this ebook
In this “highly entertaining and dangerously addictive” (Time) thriller that inspired the Netflix show The Bastard Son & The Devil Himself, a young witch’s only method of escaping his captors is gaining his magical powers—unless they kill him first.
“An epic journey.”—D.J. MacHale, New York Times bestselling author of Pendragon and Sylo
Wanted by no one, hunted by everyone . . .
Sixteen-year-old Nathan lives in a cage: beaten, shackled, trained to kill. In a modern-day England where two warring factions of witches live amongst humans, Nathan is an abomination, the illegitimate son of the world’s most terrifying and violent witch, Marcus. Nathan’s only hope for survival is to escape his captors, track down Marcus, and receive the three gifts that will bring him into his own magical powers—before it’s too late. But how can Nathan find his father when his every action is monitored, when there is no one safe to trust, not even family, not even the girl he loves?
Half Bad is an international sensation and the start of a brilliant trilogy: a gripping tale of alienation and the indomitable will to survive.

Solid book, good read, very entertaining. Not sure what to think of the style, it's jumbled, vague and hard to follow at times, but overall the book is good and I'm eagerly awaiting the next.

This was a fun read. I was surprised at how little protection from harm the story's lead character has. But that's what made it such a good story. You never know what's going to happen and can't easily predict anything. I'm looking forward to reading the next book.

I love it's unique style, written the way the main character, Nathan thinks. It's characters are realistic and well developed, and the plot is like nothing I've ever read before! One of my favorite books of all time.
