Leo Hunt was born in Newcastle upon Tyne in 1991. He grew up around books, and his mother's job at Seven Stories in Newcastle left a strong impression on his choice of career. He realised he wanted to either be an author or an archeologist - but when he learned that archaeologists didn't unearth piles of perfectly preserved dinosaur bones every time they put a spade in the ground, he decided on the former.

Thirteen Days of Midnight Trilogy

Full of fantastical thrills, supernatural spills and wail-out-loud wit, this sublimely plotted sequel to Thirteen Days of Midnight is a riotously riveting read. * lovereading4kids.co.uk *

 

Praise for Thirteen Days of Midnight (book 1): a self-assured debut that's as funny as it is terrifying * Publishers Weekly *

 

Praise for Thirteen Days of Midnight (book 1):An exciting read ... thrilling and spooky * The Week Junior *

 

I'm rendered speechless. I had high hopes for Eight Rivers of Shadow and Leo Hunt has exceeded them in every possible way. * Addicted to Media *

 

Hunt's ear for teen voices is acute - in a sub-genre overwhelmed by twinkly vampires, it is salutary to have a ballsy, convincing adolescent male voice. * The Guardian *

 

This is an awesome book. * Teen Titles - Teen Reviewer, Abigail Strachan *
