The final three books continue the fast paced action as the twins and the Flamels try in their own ways to save the world and to find out their true destinies.  Fans of Rick Riordan won't be disappointed with this series.  The interweaving of myth / legend with real world danger makes for an intriguing tale spanning the globe.

The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel Book 3

The fight now takes Flamel and the twins to London where they find new monsters and unexpected support from immortal legends.  Flamel's wife Perrenelle continues to fight her own battles to escape imprisonment by Dee back on Alcatraz.  I like this series because each book covers just a few days in the ongoing conflict so the action never stops.  The reader doesn't have to suspend disbelief for heroes that continually find themselves in scrapes over many years.

The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel Book 2

In action just days from the start of the series, Flamel and the Newman twins find themselves in Paris still on the run from the nefarious Dr. Dee who is hunting for the missing pages of the Codex.  One of my favorite historical figures, Niccolo Machiavelli joins the hunt for the twins as well.  Loads of action and new monsters make for a fun addition to the series.

The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel - Book 1

Fans of the Percy Jackson books will love this series for its mix of historical and mythical figures with fast paced action.  The story opens with two 15 year old siblings, Sophie and Josh Newman being drawn into a world they never suspected existed when the bookstore where Josh works is attacked by otherworldly beings.  Josh soon learns that his boss is actually the immoral alchemyst Nicholas Flamel who has been charged with keeping a magical book, the Codex, out of the hands of evil.  Josh and Sophie become embroiled in the conflict which leads them on to a worldwide adventure.
